2 Have someone make two trumpets out of hammered silver. These will be used to call the people together and to give the signal for moving your camp. 3 If both trumpets are blown, everyone is to meet with you at the entrance to the sacred tent. 4 But if just one is blown, only the twelve tribal leaders need to come together.
5,6 Give a signal on a trumpet when it is time to break camp. The first blast will be the signal for the tribes camped on the east side, and the second blast will be the signal for those on the south. 7 But when you want everyone to come together, sound a different signal on the trumpet. 8 The priests of Aaron’s family will be the ones to blow the trumpets, and this law will never change.
9 Whenever you go into battle against an enemy attacking your land, give a warning signal on the trumpets. Then I, the Lord, will hear it and rescue you. 10 During the celebration of the New Moon Festival and other religious festivals, sound the trumpets while you offer sacrifices. This will be a reminder that I am the Lordyour God.

30 "No, I won’t go," Hobab answered. "I’m returning home to be with my own people."
31 "Please go with us!" Moses said. "You can be our guide because you know the places to camp in the desert. 32 Besides that, if you go, we will give you a share of the good things the Lordgives us."
33 The people of Israel began their journey from Mount Sinai.10.33 Mount Sinai: Hebrew "the Lord’s mountain."They traveled three days, and the Levites who carried the sacred chest led the way, so the Lordcould show them where to camp. 34 And the cloud always stayed with them.
35 Ps 68.1.Each day as the Israelites began their journey, Moseswould pray, "Our Lord, defeat your enemies and make them run!" 36 And when they stopped to set up camp, he would pray, "Our Lord, stay close to Israel’s thousands and thousands of people."
