And when thou shalt sound the trumpets, all the multitude shall gather unto thee to the door of the tabernacle of the covenant.
4 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.
If thou sound but once, the princes and the heads of the multitude of Israel shall come to thee.
5 And you will give a blast an alarm and they will set out the camps which encamp east-ward.

6 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.
And at the second sounding and like noise of the trumpet, they who lie on the south side shall take up their tents. And after this manner shall the rest do, when the trumpets shall sound for a march.

If you go forth to war out of your land against the enemies that fight against you, you shall sound aloud with the trumpets, and there shall be a remembrance of you before the Lord your God, that you may be delivered out of the hands of your enemies.
