Bible Texts:
Trumpets!
Israel's two kinds of trumpets:
The Silver Trumpet.
Numbers 10:1,2,10 NLT
1 Now The Lord
said to Moses,
2 “Make two
trumpets of hammered silver for calling the community to assemble and
for signaling the breaking of camp.
3 When both
trumpets are blown, everyone must gather before you at the entrance
of the Tabernacle.
4 But if only
one trumpet is blown, then only the leaders—the heads of the clans
of Israel—must present themselves to you.
5 “When you
sound the signal to move on, the tribes camped on the east side of
the Tabernacle must break camp and move forward.
6 When you
sound the signal a second time, the tribes camped on the south will
follow. You must sound short blasts as the signal for moving on.
7 But when you
call the people to an assembly, blow the trumpets with a different
signal.
8 Only the
priests, Aaron’s descendants, are allowed to blow the trumpets.
This is a permanent law for you, to be observed from generation to
generation.
9 “When you
arrive in your own land and go to war against your enemies who attack
you, sound the alarm with the trumpets. Then The Lord your God will
remember you and rescue you from your enemies.
10 Blow the
trumpets in times of gladness, too, sounding them at your annual
festivals and at the beginning of each month. And blow the trumpets
over your burnt offerings and peace offerings. The trumpets will
remind your God of His covenant with you. I am The Lord your God.”
The Shofar trumpet:
Exodus 19:16-18
NLT (Mount Sinai.)
16 On the
morning of the third day, thunder roared and lightning flashed, and a
dense cloud came down on the mountain. There was a long, loud blast
from a ram’s horn, and all the people trembled.
17 Moses led
them out from the camp to meet with God, and they stood at the foot
of the mountain.
18 All of Mount
Sinai was covered with smoke because The Lord had descended on it in
the form of fire. The smoke billowed into the sky like smoke from a
brick kiln, and the whole mountain shook violently.
Leviticus 25:8-11 NLT
8 “In
addition, you must count off seven Sabbath years, seven sets of seven
years, adding up to forty-nine years in all.
9 Then on the
Day of Atonement in the fiftieth year, blow the ram’s horn loud and
long throughout the land.
10 Set this
year apart as holy, a time to proclaim freedom throughout the land
for all who live there. It will be a jubilee year for you, when each
of you may return to the land that belonged to your ancestors and
return to your own clan.
11 This
fiftieth year will be a jubilee for you..."
