Liber Numeri 10
1 Locutusque est Dominus ad Moysen, dicens:
And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,
2 Fac tibi duas tubas argenteas ductiles, quibus convocare possis multitudinem quando movenda sunt castra.
Make thee two trumpets of silver; of beaten work shalt thou make them: and thou shalt use them for the calling of the congregation, and for the journeying of the camps.
3 Cumque increpueris tubis, congregabitur ad te omnis turba ad ostium tabernaculi foederis.
And when they shall blow them, all the congregation shall gather themselves unto thee at the door of the tent of meeting.
4 Si semel clangueris, venient ad te principes, et capita multitudinis Israel.
And if they blow but one, then the princes, the heads of the thousands of Israel, shall gather themselves unto thee.
5 Si autem prolixior atque concisus clangor increpuerit, movebunt castra primi qui sunt ad orientalem plagam.
And when ye blow an alarm, the camps that lie on the east side shall take their journey.
6 In secundo autem sonitu et pari ululatu tubae, levabunt tentoria qui habitant ad meridiem. et iuxta hunc modum reliqui facient, ululantibus tubis in profectionem.
And when ye blow an alarm the second time, the camps that lie on the south side shall take their journey: they shall blow an alarm for their journeys.
7 Quando autem congregandus est populus, simplex tubarum clangor erit, et non concise ululabunt.
But when the assembly is to be gathered together, ye shall blow, but ye shall not sound an alarm.
8 Filii autem Aaron sacerdotis clangent tubis: eritque hoc legitimum sempiternum in generationibus vestris.
And the sons of Aaron, the priests, shall blow the trumpets; and they shall be to you for a statute for ever throughout your generations.
9 Si exieritis ad bellum de terra vestra contra hostes qui dimicant adversum vos, clangetis ululantibus tubis, et erit recordatio vestri coram Domino Deo vestro, ut eruamini de manibus inimicorum vestrorum.
And when ye go to war in your land against the adversary that oppresseth you, then ye shall sound an alarm with the trumpets; and ye shall be remembered before Jehovah your God, and ye shall be saved from your enemies.
10 Si quando habebitis epulum, et dies festos, et calendas, canetis tubis super holocaustis, et pacificis victimis, ut sint vobis in recordationem Dei vestri. ego Dominus Deus vester.
Also in the day of your gladness, and in your set feasts, and in the beginnings of your months, ye shall blow the trumpets over your burnt-offerings, and over the sacrifices of your peace-offerings; and they shall be to you for a memorial before your God: I am Jehovah your God.

30 Cui ille respondit: Non vadam tecum, sed revertar in terram meam, in qua natus sum.
And he said unto him, I will not go; but I will depart to mine own land, and to my kindred.
31 Et ille: Noli, inquit, nos relinquere: tu enim nosti in quibus locis per desertum castra ponere debeamus, et eris ductor noster.
And he said, Leave us not, I pray thee; forasmuch as thou knowest how we are to encamp in the wilderness, and thou shalt be to us instead of eyes.
32 Cumque nobiscum veneris, quidquid optimum fuerit ex opibus, quas nobis traditurus est Dominus, dabimus tibi.
And it shall be, if thou go with us, yea, it shall be, that what good soever Jehovah shall do unto us, the same will we do unto thee.
