1. The Lord spoke to Moses. He said,
2. "Make two trumpets out of hammered silver. Blow them when you want the community to gather together. And blow them when you want the camps to start out.
3. When both trumpets are blown, the whole community must gather in front of you. They must come to the entrance to the Tent of Meeting.
4. Suppose only one trumpet is blown. Then the leaders must gather in front of you. They are the heads of the tribes of Israel.
5. When a trumpet blast is blown, the tribes that are camped on the east side must start out.
6. When the second blast is blown, the camps on the south side must start out. The blast will tell them when to start.
