6. When you sound the trumpet blast the second time, the camp of those camped on the south is to set out. Short blasts will be the signal for their moving out.
7. To gather the whole national community, you are to sound the sustained blasts, but not the short blasts.
8. The sons of Aaron, the kohanim will blow the trumpets. This is to be an eternal ordinance for you as well as for your generations to come.
9. Whenever you go to war in your own land against the enemy who is hostile to you, you are to sound short blasts of alarm. Then you will be remembered before Adonai your God and be delivered from your enemies.
10. Also at your days of rejoicing, feasts and new moons, you are to blow on the trumpets over your burnt offerings and fellowship offerings. They will then be a reminder for you before Adonai your God. I am Adonai your God!”
11. On the twentieth day of the second month of the second year, the cloud lifted up from above the Tabernacle of the Testimony.

13. So they set out the first time by the mouth of Adonai by Moses’s hand.
