< Numbers 10 >

1 And the Lord said to Moses,
And the Lord spak to Moises, and seide,
2 Make two silver horns of hammered work, to be used for getting the people together and to give the sign for the moving of the tents.
Make to thee twei siluerne trumpis betun out with hameris, bi whiche thou maist clepe togidere the multitude, whanne the tentis schulen be moued.
3 When they are sounded, all the people are to come together to you at the door of the Tent of meeting.
And whanne thou schalt sowne with trumpis, al the cumpeny schal be gaderid to thee at the dore of the tabernacle of the boond of pees.
4 If only one of them is sounded, then the chiefs, the heads of the thousands of Israel, are to come to you.
If thou schalt sowne onys, the princes and the heedis of the multitude of Israel schulen come to thee;
5 When a loud note is sounded, the tents placed on the east side are to go forward.
but if a lengere and departid trumpyng schal sowne, thei that ben at the eest coost schulen moue tentis first.
6 At 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.
Forsothe in the secounde sown and lijk noise of the trumpe thei that dwellen at the south schulen reise tentis; and bi this maner othere men schulen do, whanne the trumpis schulen sowne in to goyng forth.
7 But when all the people are to come together, the horn is to be sounded but not loudly.
Forsothe whanne the puple schal be gederid to gidere, symple cry of trumpis schal be, and tho schulen not sowne departyngli.
8 The 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.
The sones of Aaron preest schulen sowne with trumpis, and this schal be a lawful thing euerlastynge in youre generaciouns.
9 And 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.
If ye schulen go out of youre lond to batel ayens enemyes that fiyten ayens you, ye schulen crye with trumpis sownynge, and the bithenkyng of you schal be bifor youre Lord God, that ye be delyuered fro the hondis of youre enemyes.
10 And 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.
If ony tyme ye schulen haue a feeste, and halidaies, and calendis, ye schulen synge in trumpis on brent sacrifices and pesible sacrifices, that tho be to you in to remembryng of youre God; Y am youre Lord God.
