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.
7 But in calling forth an assembly you are to blow a blast, without sounding the signal.
