Commentary
In Numbers 10, the Israelites are preparing to leave Mount Sinai and begin their journey to the Promised Land. The Lord instructs Moses to make two silver trumpets, which will be used to signal the people when it is time to move. The trumpets will also be used to call the people together for special occasions, such as when the Lord speaks to them.
