Hashem spoke to Moses, saying, “Make for yourself two silver trumpets – make them hammered out, and they shall be yours for summoning of the assembly and to cause the camps to journey.
10:1-2
The sons of Aaron, the Kohanim, shall sound the trumpets, and it shall be for you an eternal decree for your generations.
:8
“When you go to wage war in your Land against an enemy who oppresses you, you shall sound a short blasts of the trumpets, and you shall be recalled before Hashem, your God, and you shall be saved from your foes.
:9
“On a day of your gladness, and on your festivals, and on your new moons, you shall sound the trumpets over your burnt-offerings and over your feast peace-offerings, and they shall be a remembrance for you before your God; I am Hashem, your God.”
:10
They journeyed for the first time at the bidding of Hashem through Moses.
:13
The banner of the camp of the children of Judah journeyed first according to their legions, and over its legion was Nachshon son of Amminadab;
:14
Then journeyed the Kohathites, bearers of the sanctuary, and they would erect the Tabernacle before their arrival.
:21
These were the journeys of the Children of Israel according to their legions, and they journeyed.

When the Ark would journey, Moses said, “Arise, Hashem, and let Your foes be scattered, let those who hate You flee from before You.”
:35
And when it rested, he would say, “Reside tranquilly, O, Hashem, among the myriad thousands of Israel.”
:36
1 The Lord spoke to Moses saying:
2 Make yourself two silver trumpets; you shall make them [from a] beaten [form]; they shall be used by you to summon the congregation and to announce the departure of the camps.
3 When they blow on them, the entire congregation shall assemble to you, at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting.
4 If they blow one of them, the princes, the leaders of Israel’s thousands, shall convene to you.
5 When you blow a teruah [a series of short blasts, the camps which are encamped to the east shall travel.
6 When you blow a second teruah, the camps encamped to the south shall travel; they shall blow a teruah for traveling.
7 But when assembling the congregation, you shall blow a tekiah [long blast] but not a teruah.
8 The descendants of Aaron, the priests, shall blow the trumpets; this shall be an eternal statute for your generations.
9 If you go to war in your land against an adversary that oppresses you, you shall blow a teruah with the trumpets and be remembered before the Lord your God, and thus be saved from your enemies.
10 On the days of your rejoicing, on your festivals and on your new-moon celebrations, you shall blow on the trumpets for your ascent-offerings and your peace sacrifices, and it shall be a remembrance before your God; I am the Lord your God.
11 On the twentieth of the second month in the second year, the cloud rose up from over the Tabernacle of the Testimony.
12 The children of Israel traveled on their journeys from the Sinai desert, and the cloud settled in the desert of Paran.
13 This was the first journey at God’s bidding through Moses.
14 The banner of the camp of Judah’s children traveled first according to their legions. Heading the legion was Nahshon the son of Amminadab.
15 Heading the legion of the tribe of the children of Issachar was Nethanel the son of Zuar.
16 Heading the legion of the tribe of the children of Zebulun was Eliab the son of Helon.
17 The Tabernacle was dismantled, and the sons of Gershon set out, [together] with the sons of Merari who carried the Tabernacle.
18 Then the banner of the camp of Reuben set out according to their legions. Heading its legion was Elitzur the son of Shdeur.
19 Heading the legion of the tribe of the children of Simeon was Shelumiel the son of Zurishaddai.
20 Heading the legion of the tribe of the children of Gad was Eliasaph the son of Reuel.
21 The Kohathithes, who carried the holy [equipment] set out, and they had erected the Tabernacle before they had arrived.
22 Then the banner of the camp of Ephraim set out, according to its legions. Heading its legion was Elishama the son of Amihud.
23 Heading the legion of the tribe of the children of Menasseh was Gamliel the son of Pedahzur.
24 Heading the legion of the tribe of the children of Benjamin was Abidan the son of Gidoni.
25 Then the banner of the camp of Dan set out, the collector for all the other camps, according to its legions. Heading its legion was Achiezer the son of Amishaddai.
26 Heading the legion of the tribe of the children of Asher was Pagiel the son of Ocran.
27 Heading the legion of the tribe of the children of Naphtali was Ahira the son of Enon.
28 These are the travels of the children of Israel according to their legions, and then they traveled.
29 Then Moses said to Hobab the son of Reuel the Midianite, Moses’s father-in-law, We are traveling to the place about which the Lord said, I will give it to you. Come with us and we will be good to you, for the Lord has spoken of good fortune for Israel.
30 He said to him, I won’t go, for I will go to my land and my birthplace.
31 He said, Please don’t leave us, for because you are familiar with our encampments in the desert and you will be our guide.
32 And if you go with us, then we will bestow on you the good which God grants us.
33 They traveled a distance of three days from the mountain of the Lord, and the Ark of the Lord’s covenant traveled three days ahead of them to seek for them a place to settle.
34 The cloud of the Lord was above them by day, when they traveled from the camp.
35 So it was, whenever the ark set out, Moses would say, Arise, O Lord, may Your enemies be scattered and may those who hate You flee from You.
36 And when it came to rest he would say, Repose O Lord, among the myriads of thousands of Israel.

TORAH
(Law)
The book of Deuteronomy, also known as Devarim in Hebrew (“Words”), is the fifth book of the Hebrew Bible or the Christian Old Testament. It contains a series of speeches by Moses to the Israelites, just before they are about to enter the promised land, which summarize and expand upon many of the laws and commandments given in the earlier books of the Torah. The word Deuteronomy literally means “second law,” indicating that Moses is rehearsing the law with the Israelites before they enter the land.
The book is often seen as a sort of farewell address by Moses, containing some of his final instructions and blessings to the people he has led for many years. It emphasizes the importance of following G-d’s commandments and remaining faithful to Him, while warning against the dangers of disobedience and idolatry. Overall, Deuteronomy serves as a significant text in the history of Judaism and Christianity, containing many of the foundational beliefs and values of these religions.
