Numbers

Numbers 10:1–5

¹Then the LORD said to Moses, ²“Make two trumpets of hammered silver to be used for calling the congregation and for having the camps set out. ³When both are sounded, the whole congregation is to assemble before you at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting. ⁴But if only one is sounded, then the leaders, the heads of the clans of Israel, are to gather before you.

⁵When you sound short blasts, the camps that lie on the east side are to set out.
