Numbers 10:6-27

⁶At the sound of a second loud note, the tents on the south side are to go forward: the loud note will be the sign to go forward.

⁷But when all the people are to come together, the horn is to be sounded but not loudly.

⁸The horns are to be sounded by the sons of Aaron, the priests; this is to be a law for you for ever, from generation to generation.

⁹And if you go to war in your land against any who do you wrong, then let the loud note of the horn be sounded; and the Lord your God will keep you in mind and give you salvation from those who are against you.

¹⁰And on days of joy and on your regular feasts and on the first day of every month, let the horns be sounded over your burned offerings and your peace-offerings; and they will put the Lord in mind of you: I am the Lord your God.
