| 1The LORD also told Moses, | 1And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, |
| 2"Make two trumpets, crafting them from beaten silver, for use in calling the congregation together and for notifying the camps to set out for travel. | 2Make thee two trumpets of silver; of a whole piece shalt thou make them: that thou mayest use them for the calling of the assembly, and for the journeying of the camps. |
| 3Sound them when the whole assembly is to gather together at the entrance to the appointed place of meeting. | 3And when they shall blow with them, all the assembly shall assemble themselves to thee at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation. |
| 4When one trumpet is blown, the elders and the heads of the thousands of the Israelis are to gather to you. | 4And if they blow but with one trumpet, then the princes, which are heads of the thousands of Israel, shall gather themselves unto thee. |
| 5When you sound an alarm, the ones encamped on the east side are to begin to travel. | 5When ye blow an alarm, then the camps that lie on the east parts shall go forward. |
| 6When you sound the alarm the second time, those encamped on the south are to begin to travel. Alarms are to be sounded for their travels. | 6When ye 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. |
| 7But when you blow the trumpet to assemble the whole congregation, don't use the same sound as you do for sounding an alarm. | 7But when the congregation is to be gathered together, ye shall blow, but ye shall not sound an alarm. |
| 8The descendants of Aaron the priest are to blow the trumpets. Have them do this for you permanently throughout your generations to come." | 8And 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"When you wage war in your land against an enemy who is hostile to you, you are to sound an alarm with the trumpets. Then you will be remembered before the face of the LORD your God and you will be delivered from your enemies. | 9And if ye go to war in your land against the enemy that oppresseth you, then ye shall blow an alarm with the trumpets; and ye shall be remembered before the LORD your God, and ye shall be saved from your enemies. |
| 10At the beginning of the month, during your time of rejoicing at the appointed place, sound the trumpet over your burnt offering, then sacrifice your peace offering, since they are to be your memorial before the LORD your God. I am the LORD your God." | 10Also in the day of your gladness, and in your solemn days, and in the beginnings of your months, ye 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. |

| 30But he said, "I won't go with you because I'm returning to my land and to my own family." | 30And he said unto him, I will not go; but I will depart to mine own land, and to my kindred. |
| 31Then Moses responded, "Please don't leave us now, since you know where we can camp in the wilderness. You could be our guide. | 31And he said, Leave us not, I pray thee; forasmuch as thou knowest how we are to encamp in the wilderness, and thou mayest be to us instead of eyes. |
| 32And when you come with us, the good things that the LORD will grant us, we'll give you as well." | 32And it shall be, if thou go with us, yea, it shall be, that what goodness the LORD shall do unto us, the same will we do unto thee. |
