Contextual Overview

1 The Lord said to Moses, 2 "Make two silver horns of beaten silver. Use them for calling the people together and for having the people move on. 3 When both horns sound, all the people will gather in front of you at the door of the meeting tent. 4 If only one horn sounds, then the leaders, the heads of the families of Israel, will gather in front of you. 5 When you blow the horn to tell of danger, the people whose tents are on the east side will leave. 6 When you blow the horn to tell of danger a second time, the people whose tents are on the south side will leave. A horn telling of danger will be blown when they are to move on. 7 But when the people are to be gathered together, you will blow the horn without the sound of danger. 8 Aaron's sons, the religious leaders, will blow the horns. This will be a Law for all your people forever. 9 When you go to war in your land against those who fight you, then sound the horns to tell of war. That way you will be remembered before the Lord your God, and be saved from those who hate you. 10 On the days you are glad and at the time of your special suppers and on the first days of your months, blow the horns. Blow the horns over your burnt gifts and over your peace gifts. Then you will be remembered before your God. I am the Lord your God."

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And when they shall blow with them,.... With both the trumpets, in an even and continued sound, that is, the sons of Aaron:

all the assembly shall assemble themselves to thee at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation; to hear what was to be said unto them: blowing both the trumpets together was a token that the whole congregation was called to meet together at the tabernacle, the door of which was the usual place of assembling, especially on religious counts, for there also the Lord met them, Exodus 29:42.
