Bible Verses About Priests: Blowing the trumpets on various occasions

ADONAI said to Moshe,

"Make two trumpets; make them of hammered silver. Use them for summoning the community and for sounding the call to break camp and move on.

When they are sounded, the entire community is to assemble before you at the entrance to the tent of meeting.

If only one is sounded, then just the leaders, the heads of the clans of Isra'el, are to assemble before you.

"When you sound an alarm, the camps to the east will commence traveling.

When you sound a second alarm, the camps to the south will set out; they will sound alarms to announce when to travel.

However, when the community is to be assembled, you are to sound; but don't sound an alarm.

It will be the sons of Aharon, the cohanim, who are to sound the trumpets; this will be a permanent regulation for you through all your generations.

"When you go to war in your land against an adversary who is oppressing you, you are to sound an alarm with the trumpets; then you will be remembered before ADONAI your God, and you will be saved from your enemies.

"Also on your days of rejoicing, at your designated times and on Rosh-Hodesh, you are to sound the trumpets over your burnt offerings and over the sacrifices of your peace offerings; these will be your reminder before your God. I am ADONAI your God."

You are to encircle the city with all your soldiers and march around it once. Do this for six days.

Seven cohanim are to carry seven shofars in front of the ark. On the seventh day you are to march around the city seven times, and the cohanim will blow the shofars.
