The Silver Trumpets

Yahweh^H3068 spoke^H1696 further to Moses^H4872, saying^H559,

Num 10:2“Make yourself two trumpets of silver, of hammered work you shall make them; and you shall use them for summoning the congregation and for having the camps set out.

Num 10:3

Num 10:3“So both will be blown, and all the congregation shall gather themselves to you at the doorway of the tent of meeting.

Num 10:4

Num 10:4“Yet if only one is blown, then the leaders, the heads of the [fn]divisions of Israel, shall assemble before you.

Num 10:5

Num 10:5“But when you blow an alarm, the camps that are pitched on the east side shall set out.

Num 10:6

Num 10:6“Then you will blow an alarm the second time, and the camps that are pitched on the south side shall set out; an alarm is to be blown for them to set out.

Num 10:7

Num 10:7“When convening the assembly, however, you shall blow without sounding an alarm.

Num 10:8

Num 10:8“The priestly sons of Aaron, moreover, shall blow the trumpets; and [fn]this shall be for you a perpetual statute throughout your generations.

Num 10:9

Num 10:9“Now when you go to war in your land against the adversary who attacks you, then you shall sound an alarm with the trumpets, that you may be remembered before Yahweh your God and be saved from your enemies.

Num 10:10

Num 10:10“Also in the day of your gladness and in your appointed [fn]feasts, and on the first days of your months, you shall blow the trumpets over your burnt offerings and over the sacrifices of your peace offerings; and they shall be as a remembrance of you before your God. I am Yahweh your God.”
