< Liber Numeri 10 >
1 locutus est Dominus ad Mosen dicens
And the LORD spoke 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 they shall be unto thee for the calling of the congregation, and for causing the camps to set forward.
3 cumque increpueris tubis congregabitur ad te omnis turba ad ostium foederis tabernaculi
And when they shall blow with 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 Israhel
And if they blow but with one, then the princes, the heads of the thousands of Israel, shall gather themselves unto thee.
5 sin 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 profectione
And when ye blow an alarm the second time, the camps that lie on the south side shall set forward; 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 Aaron sacerdotes 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 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 the LORD your God, and ye shall be saved from your enemies.
10 si quando habebitis epulum et dies festos et kalendas 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 appointed seasons, and in your new moons, ye shall 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 Moses said unto Hobab, the son of Reuel the Midianite, Moses' father-in-law: 'We are journeying unto the place of which the LORD said: I will give it you; come thou with us, and we will do thee good; for the LORD hath spoken good concerning Israel.'
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 quicquid 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 the LORD shall do unto us, the same will we do unto thee.'
