Contextual Overview

1And YHWH speaks to Moses, saying, 2"Make two trumpets of silver for yourself; you make them of beaten work, and they have been for you for the convocation of the congregation, and for the journeying of the camps; 3and they have blown with them, and all the congregation has assembled to you at the opening of the Tent of Meeting. 4And if they blow with one, then the princes, heads of the thousands of Israel, have assembled to you; 5and you have blown—a shout, and the camps which are encamping eastward have journeyed. 6And you have blown—a second shout, and the camps which are encamping southward have journeyed; they blow a shout for their journeys. 7And in the assembling of the assembly you blow, and do not shout;8and sons of Aaron, the priests, blow with the trumpets; and they have been for a continuous statute to you throughout your generations. 9And when you go into battle in your land against the adversary who is distressing you, then you have shouted with the trumpets, and you have been remembered before your God YHWH, and you have been saved from your enemies. 10And in the day of your gladness, and in your appointed times, and in the beginnings of your months, you have also blown with the trumpets over your burnt-offerings, and over the sacrifices of your peace-offerings, and they have been for a memorial to you before your God; I [am] your God YHWH."

Gill's Notes on the Bible

But when the congregation is to be gathered together,.... At the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, and not to move in separate camps or bodies one after another:

you shall blow, but you shall not sound an alarm; blow with an even and uninterrupted sound, and not with a broken and quavering one; by which the congregation and camps were distinguished from one another, the same certain sound being given to each constantly, whereby they knew which were called to motion: see 1 Corinthians 14:8; according to Ben Gersom blowing was a voice drawn out, and joined or continued; an alarm, a voice not joined, but broken.
