Liber Numeri 10
1 Locutusque est Dominus ad Moysen, dicens:
And the Lord spoke unto Moses, saying,
2 Fac tibi duas tubas argenteas ductiles, quibus convocare possis multitudinem quando movenda sunt castra.
Make unto thyself two trumpets of silver, beaten out of one piece shalt thou make them; and they shall serve thee for the calling of the congregation, and for the setting forward of the camps.
3 Cumque increpueris tubis, congregabitur ad te omnis turba ad ostium tabernaculi foederis.
And when they shall blow with both, all the congregation shall assemble themselves unto thee at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.
4 Si semel clangueris, venient ad te principes, et capita multitudinis Israel.
And if they blow with but one, then shall assemble themselves unto thee the princes, the heads of the thousands of Israel.
5 Si autem prolixior atque concisus clangor increpuerit, movebunt castra primi qui sunt ad orientalem plagam.
And when ye blow an alarm, then shall set forward the camps that encamp on the east side.
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, then shall set forward the camps that encamp on the south side: an alarm shall they blow for their setting forward.
7 Quando autem congregandus est populus, simplex tubarum clangor erit, et non concise ululabunt.
But at the assembling of the assembly, 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 with the trumpets; and they shall be to you for an ordinance 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 if ye go to war in your land against the oppressor that oppresseth you, then shall ye blow an alarm with the trumpets; and ye shall be remembered before the Lord 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.
And on the day of your gladness, and on your appointed festivals, and on the beginnings of your months, shall ye blow with 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 the Lord your God.

And he said unto him, I will not go; but to my own land, and to my birthplace will I go.

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 the same goodness which the Lord may do unto us, will we do unto thee.
