Liber Numeri 10
1 Locutusque est Dominus ad Moysen, dicens:
And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,
2 Fac tibi duas tubas argenteas ductiles, quibus convocare possis multitudinem quando movenda sunt castra.
'Make to thee two trumpets of silver; beaten work thou dost make them, and they have been to thee for the convocation of the company, and for the journeying of the camps;
3 Cumque increpueris tubis, congregabitur ad te omnis turba ad ostium tabernaculi foederis.
and they have blown with them, and all the company have met together unto thee, unto the opening of the tent of meeting.
4 Si semel clangueris, venient ad te principes, et capita multitudinis Israel.
And if with one they blow, then have the princes, heads of the thousands of Israel, met together unto thee;
5 Si autem prolixior atque concisus clangor increpuerit, movebunt castra primi qui sunt ad orientalem plagam.
'And ye have blown — a shout, and the camps which are encamping eastward have journeyed.
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 have blown — a second shout, and the camps which are encamping southward have journeyed; a shout they blow for their journeys.
7 Quando autem congregandus est populus, simplex tubarum clangor erit, et non concise ululabunt.
'And in the assembling of the assembly ye blow, and do not shout;
8 Filii autem Aaron sacerdotis clangent tubis: eritque hoc legitimum sempiternum in generationibus vestris.
and sons of Aaron, the priests, blow with the trumpets; and they have been to you for a statute age-during to 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 into battle in your land against the adversary who is distressing you, then ye have shouted with the trumpets, and ye have been remembered before Jehovah your God, and ye have been 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 day of your gladness, and in your appointed seasons, and in the beginnings of your months, ye have blown also with the trumpets over your burnt-offerings, and over the sacrifices of your peace-offerings, and they have been to you for a memorial before your God; I, Jehovah, [am] your God.'

And he saith unto him, 'I do not go; but unto my land and unto my kindred do I go.'
31 Et ille: Noli, inquit, nos relinquere: tu enim nosti in quibus locis per desertum castra ponere debeamus, et eris ductor noster.
And he saith, 'I pray thee, forsake us not, because thou hast known our encamping in the wilderness, and thou hast been to us for eyes;
32 Cumque nobiscum veneris, quidquid optimum fuerit ex opibus, quas nobis traditurus est Dominus, dabimus tibi.
and it hath come to pass when thou goest with us, yea, it hath come to pass — that good which Jehovah doth kindly with us — it we have done kindly to thee.'
