1. And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
2. "Make for yourself two trumpets of ductile silver, with which you may be able to call together the multitude when the camp is to be moved.
3. And when you sound the trumpets, all the multitude shall gather to you at the door of the tabernacle of the covenant.
4. If you sound it only once, the leaders and the heads of the multitude of Israel shall come to you.
5. But if the sound of the trumpets is prolonged, but with interruptions, those who are toward the east side shall move the camp first.
6. Then, at the second sounding of the trumpet with the same cadence, those who live toward the south shall take up their tents. And the remainder shall act in like manner, when the trumpets shall reverberate for a departure.
7. But when the people are to be gathered together, the sound of the trumpets shall be simple, and the sounds shall not be separated.
8. Now it is the sons of Aaron the priest who shall sound the trumpets. And this shall be an everlasting ordinance, in your generations.
