Numbers 10:5

Context
10:5 When you blow an alarm, 1  then the camps that are located 2  on the east side must begin to travel. 3 

1 tn The word for an alarm is תְּרוּעָה (tÿruah). The root verb of this word means “to give a blast on the trumpet.” It may also on occasion mean “give a shout” in battle (Josh 6:10). In this passage it must refer to the sound of the trumpet.

2 tn Heb “the camps that are camping.”

3 tn The perfect tense with vav (ו) consecutive functions as the equivalent of the imperfect tense. Here the emphasis is on the start of the journey.
