Two Silver Trumpets

1 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
2 “Make two silver trumpets for yourself; you shall make them of hammered work; you shall use them for acalling the congregation and for directing the movement of the camps.  
3 When athey blow both of them, all the congregation shall gather before you at the door of the tabernacle of meeting.  
4 But if they blow only one, then the leaders, the aheads of the divisions of Israel, shall gather to you.  
5 When you sound the aadvance, the camps that lie on the east side shall then begin their journey.  
6 When you sound the advance the second time, then athe camps that lie bon the south side shall begin their journey; they shall sound the call for them to begin their journeys.  
7 And when the assembly is to be gathered together, ayou shall blow, but not bsound the advance.  
8 aThe sons of Aaron, the priests, shall blow the trumpets; and these shall be to you as an1 ordinance forever throughout your generations.  
9 a“When you go to war in your land against the enemy who boppresses you, then you shall sound an alarm with the trumpets, and you will be cremembered before the Lord your God, and you will be saved from your enemies.  
10 Also ain the day of your gladness, in your appointed feasts, and at the beginning of your months, you shall blow the trumpets over your burnt offerings and over the sacrifices of your peace offerings; and they shall be ba memorial for you before your God: I am the Lord your God.”

Numbers

NUMBERS. This book is so called because it contains an account of the enumeration and arrangement of the Israelites. The early part of it, from the first through the tenth chapters, appears to be a supplement to Leviticus, being occupied with relating the appointment of the Levites to the sacred offices. The journal of the march through the wilderness is then given as far as Numbers 21:20; after which the early incidents of the invasion are narrated. One direct quotation only from this book (Numbers 16:5) is made in the New Testament (II Timothy 2:19); but indirect references to it by the later sacred writers are very numerous.
