phrase "sound short blasts" refers to the use of trumpets, specifically silver trumpets as described earlier in <a href="/numbers/10-2.htm">Numbers 10:2</a>. The Hebrew word for "short blasts" is "teruah," which can mean a shout or a blast of war, alarm, or joy. In the context of ancient Israel, these trumpet blasts were a divine communication tool, signaling the movement of the camp. The "second time" indicates an orderly and structured approach to the movement, emphasizing the importance of obedience and readiness in the life of the Israelites. This reflects God's desire for His people to be attentive and responsive to His guidance.<p><b>the camps that lie on the south</b><br />The "camps" refer to the organized tribes of Israel, each with a specific position around the Tabernacle. The "south" camp was led by the tribe of Reuben, as detailed in <a href="/numbers/2.htm">Numbers 2</a>. This structured arrangement highlights the orderliness and precision with which God instructed His people to live and move. It also signifies the unity and cooperation required among the tribes, each playing a distinct role in the community's journey. Historically, this organization was crucial for maintaining order among the vast number of Israelites during their wilderness wanderings.<p><b>are to set out</b><br />The command "to set out" indicates the beginning of a journey or movement. In Hebrew, the word "nasa" is used, which means to pull up, set out, or journey. This reflects the transient nature of the Israelites' existence in the wilderness, always moving towards the Promised Land. Spiritually, it serves as a metaphor for the Christian journey, where believers are called to be pilgrims in this world, always ready to move at God's command, seeking the ultimate destination of eternal life with Him.<p><b>The short blasts are to be the signal for their journeys</b><br />The repetition of "short blasts" as a "signal" underscores the importance of clear communication and obedience to divine instructions. The Hebrew word for "signal" is "ot," which can also mean a sign or a mark. This indicates that the trumpet blasts were not just practical signals but also spiritual reminders of God's presence and guidance. For the Israelites, these signals were a constant reminder of their dependence on God for direction and provision. In a broader sense, it encourages believers to be attentive to God's signals in their lives, whether through Scripture, prayer, or the Holy Spirit, guiding them on their spiritual journey.<span class="p"><br /><br /></span><span class="versiontext"><a href="/commentaries/numbers/10-6.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a></span><span class="p"><br /><br /><br /></span><a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Hebrew</div><span class="word">When you sound</span><br /><span class="heb">וּתְקַעְתֶּ֤ם</span> <span class="translit">(ū·ṯə·qa‘·tem)</span><br /><span class="parse">Conjunctive waw | Verb -
