Numbers 10:9

"“The sons of Aaron, the priests, shall blow the trumpets. This shall be to you for a statute forever throughout your generations."

Key Reflection

Numbers 10:9 establishes that the priests, specifically the descendants of Aaron, were responsible for blowing trumpets during various sacred occasions, including festivals and new moon celebrations. This ordinance was not just a one-time command but was intended to be a permanent part of Israel's religious life, binding future generations to this practice as a reminder of their covenant with God and the significance of these holy days.

From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

For examples of the employment of trumpets in war compare marginal references and2 Chronicles 20:28. By employment of them was signified the dependence of God’s people on His aid.
