Liber Numeri 10
1 Locutusque est Dominus ad Moysen, dicens:
And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
2 Fac tibi duas tubas argenteas ductiles, quibus convocare possis multitudinem quando movenda sunt castra.
Make you two trumpets of silver; of a whole piece shall you make them: that you may use them for the calling of the assembly, and for the journeying of the camps.
3 Cumque increpueris tubis, congregabitur ad te omnis turba ad ostium tabernaculi fœderis.
And when they shall blow with them, all the assembly shall assemble themselves to you at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.
4 Si semel clangueris, venient ad te principes, et capita multitudinis Israel.
And if they blow but with one trumpet, then the princes, which are heads of the thousands of Israel, shall gather themselves to you.
5 Si autem prolixior atque concisus clangor increpuerit, movebunt castra primi qui sunt ad orientalem plagam.
When you blow an alarm, then the camps that lie on the east parts shall go forward.
6 In secundo autem sonitu et pari ululatu tubæ, levabunt tentoria qui habitant ad meridiem. Et iuxta hunc modum reliqui facient, ululantibus tubis in profectionem.
When you 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.
7 Quando autem congregandus est populus, simplex tubarum clangor erit, et non concise ululabunt.
But when the congregation is to be gathered together, you shall blow, but you shall not sound an alarm.
8 Filii autem Aaron sacerdotes clangent tubis: eritque hoc legitimum sempiternum in generationibus vestris.
And 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.
9 Si exieritis ad bellum de terra vestra contra hostes qui dimicant adversum vos, clangetis ululantibus tubis, et erit recordatio vestri coram Domino Deo vestro, ut eruamini de manibus inimicorum vestrorum.
And if you go to war in your land against the enemy that oppresses you, then you shall blow an alarm with the trumpets; and you shall be remembered before the LORD your God, and you shall be saved from your enemies.
10 Si quando habebitis epulum, et dies festos, et calendas, canetis tubis super holocaustis, et pacificis victimis, ut sint vobis in recordationem Dei vestri. Ego Dominus Deus vester.
Also in the day of your gladness, and in your solemn days, and in the beginnings of your months, you 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.

And it shall be, if you go with us, yes, it shall be, that what goodness the LORD shall do to us, the same will we do to you.
