Numbers 10:4-8 Holy Bible: Easy-To-Read Version (ETR)

4. But if you blow long blasts on only one trumpet, only the leaders will come to meet with you. (These are the leaders of the twelve tribes of Israel.)

5. “Short blasts on the trumpets will be the way to tell the people to move the camp. The first time you blow a short blast on the trumpets, the tribes camping on the east side of the Meeting Tent must begin to move.

6. The second time you blow a short blast on the trumpets, the tribes camping on the south side of the Meeting Tent will begin to move.

7. But if you want to gather the people together for a special meeting, blow the trumpets in a different way—blow a long steady blast on the trumpets.

8. Only Aaron’s sons, the priests, should blow the trumpets. This is a law for you that will continue forever, for generations to come.
