2'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.Select Numbers 10:2

3And when they shall blow with them, all the congregation shall gather themselves unto thee at the door of the tent of meeting.Select Numbers 10:3

4And if they blow but with one, then the princes, the heads of the thousands of Israel, shall gather themselves unto thee.Select Numbers 10:4

5And when ye blow an alarm, the camps that lie on the east side shall take their journey.Select Numbers 10:5

6And 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.Select Numbers 10:6

9And 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.Select Numbers 10:9

10Also 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.'Select Numbers 10:10
