two trumpets2 parallels

The necessity of such instruments will at once appear , when the amazing extent of this army is considered. There were various kinds of trumpets among the ancients , of different forms and materials , as Eustathius shews on Homer , where he mentions six; the second of which was ףפסןדדץכח , turned up round , like a ram's horn; which he says the Egyptians used (from being invented by Osiris) when they assembled the people to their sacrifices. But in opposition to that form , Moses commands these to be made long , in the shape of those used at present. So Josephus informs us , who says they were near a cubit long; the tube of the thickness of a common pipe or flute; the mouth no wider than just to admit blowing into them; and their ends wide like those of a modern trumpet

ye blow A single alarm was a signal for the eastward division to march; two such alarms the signal for the south; and probably three for the west , and four for the North. There appears therefore , a deficiency in the Hebrew Text , which is thus supplied by the LXX .

And when ye blow a third alarm or signal , the camps on the west shall march; and when ye blow a fourth alarm , the camps on the north shall march." This addition , however , is not acknowledged by the Samaritan , nor any other version than the Coptic , nor any manuscript yet collated.
