Numbers 10:5-15

⁵When you blow with a full note, (or alarm,) the host that encampeth eastward shall go forward,

⁶and when you blow with the second alarm, the hosts that encamp southward shall go on; an alarm shall they blow for their journeys.

⁷But when the congregation is to be gathered together, you shall blow, but not with the alarm.

⁸And the sons of Aharon, the priests, are to blow with the trumpets; and this shall be to you a perpetual statute for your generations.

⁹And when you enter upon the battle fight for your country, with the oppressors who oppress you, ye shall blow the alarm with the trumpets, that your remembrance may come for good before the Lord your God, (and) that you may be delivered from them who hate you.

¹⁰And on the day of your rejoicing, and on your solemnities, and at the beginning of your months, ye shall blow with the trumpets over your burnt offerings, and over your consecrated victims; and they shall be for a memorial before your God: I am the Lord your God.

¹¹And it was in the second year, in the second month, on the twentieth day of the month, that the Cloud was uplifted from above the Tabernacle of the Testimony,

¹²And the children of Israel went forward upon their journeys from the wilderness of Sinai; and the Cloud rested in the wilderness of Pharan.

¹³And they went forward at the first by the Word of the Lord through Mosheh.

¹⁴In the first place the standard of the camp of the Beni Jehudah went forward by their hosts; and over the host was Nachshon bar Aminadab.

¹⁵And over the host of the tribe of the Beni Issakar, Nethanel bar Zuar.
