Numbers (The Fourth Book of Moses Called )

And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,

Make two trumpets of silver for yourself. You shall make them of hammered work, and they shall be to you for the calling of the congregation, and for causing the camps to pull up [stakes].

And when they blow with them, all the congregation shall gather themselves to you at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.

And if they blow with one, then the rulers, the heads of the thousands of Israel, shall assemble to you.

And when you blow an alarm, the camps that lie on the east side shall then pull up.

And when you blow an alarm the second time, the camps that lie on the south side shall pull up; they shall blow an alarm for their journeys.

But when the assembly is gathered, you shall blow, but you shall not sound an alarm.

And the sons of Aaron, the priests, shall blow with the trumpets. And they shall be to you for a never ending statute throughout your generations.

And when you go into battle in your land against the foe distressing you, then you shall blow with the trumpets, and you shall be remembered before Jehovah your God. And you shall be saved from your enemies.

And in the day of your gladness, and in your appointed times, and in your new moons, you shall blow 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] Jehovah your God.

And he said to him, I shall not go, but I shall go to my land and to my kindred.

And he said, Please do not forsake us, because you know [as to how] we encamp in the wilderness, and you shall be to us for eyes.

And it shall be when you go with us; yea, it shall be that what good Jehovah shall do to us, we shall do good to you.
