Liber Numeri 10
1 Locutusque est Dominus ad Moysen, dicens:
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
2 Fac tibi duas tubas argenteas ductiles, quibus convocare possis multitudinem quando movenda sunt castra.
Make to thyself two silver trumpets: thou shalt make them of beaten work; and they shall be to thee for the purpose of calling the assembly, and of removing the camps.
3 Cumque increpueris tubis, congregabitur ad te omnis turba ad ostium tabernaculi foederis.
And thou shalt sound with them, and all the congregation shall be gathered to the door of the tabernacle of witness.
4 Si semel clangueris, venient ad te principes, et capita multitudinis Israel.
And if they shall sound with one, all the rulers even the princes of Israel shall come to thee.
5 Si autem prolixior atque concisus clangor increpuerit, movebunt castra primi qui sunt ad orientalem plagam.
And ye shall sound an alarm, and the camps pitched eastward shall begin to move.
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 ye shall sound a second alarm, and the camps pitched southward shall move; and ye shall sound a third alarm, and the camps pitched westward shall move forward; and ye shall sound a fourth alarm, and they that encamp toward the north shall move forward: they shall sound an alarm at their departure.
7 Quando autem congregandus est populus, simplex tubarum clangor erit, et non concise ululabunt.
And whenever ye shall gather the assembly, ye shall sound, but not an alarm.
8 Filii autem Aaron sacerdotis clangent tubis: eritque hoc legitimum sempiternum in generationibus vestris.
And the priests the sons of Aaron shall sound with the trumpets; and it shall be a perpetual ordinance for you 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 if ye shall go forth to war in your land against your enemies that are opposed to you, then shall ye sound with the trumpets; and ye shall be had in remembrance before the Lord, 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.
And in the days of your gladness, and in your feasts, and in your new moons, ye shall sound with the trumpets at your whole-burnt-offerings, and at the sacrifices of your peace-offerings; and there shall be a memorial for you before your God: I [am] the Lord your God.

And he said to him, I will not go, but [I will go] to my land and to my kindred.
