Num 10:3When they blow them both, all the community must come to you to the entrance of the tent of meeting.

Num 10:4

Num 10:4"But if they blow with one trumpet, then the leaders, the heads of the thousands of Israel, must come to you.

Num 10:6And when you blow an alarm the second time, then the camps that are located on the south side must begin to travel. An alarm must be sounded for their journeys.

Num 10:7

Num 10:7But when you assemble the community, you must blow, but you must not sound an alarm.

Num 10:8

Num 10:8The sons of Aaron, the priests, must blow the trumpets; and they will be to you for an eternal ordinance throughout your generations.

Num 10:9

Num 10:9If you go to war in your land against an adversary who opposes you, then you must sound an alarm with the trumpets, and you will be remembered before the LORD your God, and you will be saved from your enemies.

Num 10:10

Num 10:10"Also in the time when you rejoice, such as on your appointed festivals or at the beginnings of your months, you must blow with your trumpets over your burnt offerings and over the sacrifices of your peace offerings, so that they may become a memorial for you before your God: I am the LORD your God."
