The Blowing of Trumpets
10:1 The Lord spoke to Moses :
10:2 “Make two trumpets of silver ; you are to make them from a single hammered piece . You will use them for assembling the community and for directing the traveling of the camps .
10:3 When they blow them both, all the community must come to you to the entrance of the tent of meeting .
10:4 “But if they blow with one trumpet, then the leaders , the heads of the thousands of Israel , must come to you.
10:5 When you blow an alarm , then the camps that are located on the east side must begin to travel .
10:6 And when you blow an alarm the second time, then the camps that are located on the south side must begin to travel . An alarm must be sounded for their journeys .
