Numbers 10:1-10
1599 Geneva Bible
10 2 The use of the silver trumpets. 11 The Israelites depart from Sinai. 14 The captains of the host are numbered. 30 Hobab refuseth to go with Moses his son-in-law.
1 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
2 Make thee two trumpets of silver: of an [a]whole piece shalt thou make them, that thou mayest use them for the assembling of the Congregation, and for the departure of the camp.
3 And when they shall blow with them, all the Congregation shall assemble to thee, before the door of the Tabernacle of the Congregation.
4 But if they blow with one, then the Princes, or heads over the thousands of Israel shall come unto thee.
5 But if ye blow an alarm, then the camp of them that pitch on the [b]East part, shall go forward.
6 If ye blow an alarm the second time, then the host of them that lie on the [c]South side, shall march: for they shall blow an alarm when they remove.
7 But in the assembling the Congregation, ye shall blow without an alarm.
8 And the sons of Aaron the Priest shall [d]blow the trumpets, and ye shall have them as a law forever in your generations.
9 And when ye go to war in your land against the enemy that vexeth you, ye shall blow an alarm with the trumpets, and ye shall be remembered before the Lord your God, and shall be saved from your enemies.
10 Also in the day of your [e]gladness, and in your feast days, and in the beginning of your months, ye shall also blow the trumpets [f]over your burnt sacrifices, and over your peace offerings, that they may be a remembrance for you before your God: I am the Lord your God.
