1. The Lord said to Moses:
2. Make two trumpets of silver, making them of hammered silver, for you to use in summoning the community and in breaking camp.
3. When both are blown, the whole community shall gather round you at the entrance of the tent of meeting;
4. but when one of them is blown, only the tribal leaders, the heads of the clans of Israel, shall gather round you.
5. When you sound the signal, those encamped on the east side shall break camp;
6. when you sound a second signal, those encamped on the south side shall break camp; when you sound a third signal, those encamped on the west side shall break camp; when you sound a fourth signal, those encamped on the north side shall break camp. Thus shall the signal be sounded for them to break camp.
