Numbers 10:2-10

NSB(i) 2 »Make two trumpets of hammered silver to use for calling the people together and for breaking camp. 3 »When long blasts are sounded on both trumpets, the whole community is to gather around you at the entrance to the tent of my presence. 4 »When only one trumpet is sounded, then only the leaders of the clans are to gather around you. 5 »When short blasts are sounded, the tribes camped on the east will move out. 6 »When short blasts are sounded a second time, the tribes on the south will move out. So short blasts are to be sounded to break camp, 7 »Long blasts are to be sounded to call the congregation together. 8 »Aaron’s sons the priests are to blow the trumpets. The following rule is to be observed for all time to come. 9 »When there is war in your land and you defend yourselves against an enemy attack, sound the signal for battle on these trumpets. I, Jehovah your God, will help you and save you from your enemies. 10 »Joyful occasions such as your New Moon Festivals and your other religious festivals, you are to blow the trumpets when you present your burnt offerings and your fellowship offerings. Then I will help you. I AM JEHOVAH YOUR GOD!«
