< Numbers 10 >
1 And the Lord said to Moses,
And he spoke Yahweh to Moses saying.
2 Make two silver horns of hammered work, to be used for getting the people together and to give the sign for the moving of the tents.
Make for yourself two trumpets of silver hammered work you will make them and they will be for you for [the] convocation of the congregation and for breaking the camps.
3 When they are sounded, all the people are to come together to you at the door of the Tent of meeting.
And they will give a blast on them and they will gather together to you all the congregation to [the] entrance of [the] tent of meeting.
4 If only one of them is sounded, then the chiefs, the heads of the thousands of Israel, are to come to you.
And if on one [trumpet] they will give a blast and they will gather together to you the leaders [the] heads of [the] families of Israel.
5 When a loud note is sounded, the tents placed on the east side are to go forward.
And you will give a blast an alarm and they will set out the camps which encamp east-ward.
6 At the sound of a second loud note, the tents on the south side are to go forward: the loud note will be the sign to go forward.
And you will give a blast an alarm second and they will set out the camps which encamp south-ward an alarm they will give a blast for settings out their.
7 But when all the people are to come together, the horn is to be sounded but not loudly.
And when summon the assembly you will give a blast and not you will give an alarm.
8 The horns are to be sounded by the sons of Aaron, the priests; this is to be a law for you for ever, from generation to generation.
And [the] sons of Aaron the priests they will give a blast on trumpets and they will become for you a statute of perpetuity to generations your.
9 And if you go to war in your land against any who do you wrong, then let the loud note of the horn be sounded; and the Lord your God will keep you in mind and give you salvation from those who are against you.
And if you will go war in land your on the foe who opposes you and you will give an alarm on trumpets and you will be remembered before Yahweh God your and you will be delivered from enemies your.
10 And on days of joy and on your regular feasts and on the first day of every month, let the horns be sounded over your burned offerings and your peace-offerings; and they will put the Lord in mind of you: I am the Lord your God.
And on [the] day of rejoicing your and at appointed feasts your and at [the] beginnings of months your and you will give a blast on trumpets over burnt offerings your and over [the] sacrifices of peace offerings your and they will become for you a memorial before God your I [am] Yahweh God your.
