| 1And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, | 1The LORD spoke to Moses: |
| 2Make thee two trumpets of silver; of a whole piece shalt thou make them: that thou mayest use them for the calling of the assembly, and for the journeying of the camps. | 2"Make two trumpets of silver; you are to make them from a single hammered piece. You will use them for assembling the community and for directing the traveling of the camps. |
| 3And when they shall blow with them, all the assembly shall assemble themselves to thee at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation. | 3When they blow them both, all the community must come to you to the entrance of the tent of meeting. |
| 4And if they blow but with one trumpet, then the princes, which are heads of the thousands of Israel, shall gather themselves unto thee. | 4"But if they blow with one trumpet, then the leaders, the heads of the thousands of Israel, must come to you. |
| 5When ye blow an alarm, then the camps that lie on the east parts shall go forward. | 5When you blow an alarm, then the camps that are located on the east side must begin to travel. |
| 6When ye blow an alarm the second time, then the camps that lie on the south side shall take their journey: they shall blow an alarm for their journeys. | 6And when you blow an alarm the second time, then the camps that are located on the south side must begin to travel. An alarm must be sounded for their journeys. |
| 7But when the congregation is to be gathered together, ye shall blow, but ye shall not sound an alarm. | 7But when you assemble the community, you must blow, but you must not sound an alarm. |
| 8And the sons of Aaron, the priests, shall blow with the trumpets; and they shall be to you for an ordinance for ever throughout your generations. | 8The sons of Aaron, the priests, must blow the trumpets; and they will be to you for an eternal ordinance throughout your generations. |
| 9And if ye go to war in your land against the enemy that oppresseth you, then ye shall blow an alarm with the trumpets; and ye shall be remembered before the LORD your God, and ye shall be saved from your enemies. | 9If you go to war in your land against an adversary who opposes you, then you must sound an alarm with the trumpets, and you will be remembered before the LORD your God, and you will be saved from your enemies. |
| 10Also in the day of your gladness, and in your solemn days, and in the beginnings of your months, ye shall blow with the trumpets over your burnt offerings, and over the sacrifices of your peace offerings; that they may be to you for a memorial before your God: I am the LORD your God. | 10"Also in the time when you rejoice, such as on your appointed festivals or at the beginnings of your months, you must blow with your trumpets over your burnt offerings and over the sacrifices of your peace offerings, so that they may become a memorial for you before your God: I am the LORD your God." |
