1 καὶ ἐλάλησεν κύριος πρὸς μωυσῆν λέγων

2 ποίησον σεαυτῷ δύο σάλπιγγας ἀργυρᾶς ἐλατὰς ποιήσεις αὐτάς καὶ ἔσονταί σοι ἀνακαλεῖν τὴν συναγωγὴν καὶ ἐξαίρειν τὰς παρεμβολάς

3 καὶ σαλπίσεις ἐν αὐταῖς καὶ συναχθήσεται πᾶσα ἡ συναγωγὴ ἐπὶ τὴν θύραν τῆς σκηνῆς τοῦ μαρτυρίου

4 ἐὰν δὲ ἐν μιᾷ σαλπίσωσιν προσελεύσονται πρὸς σὲ πάντες οἱ ἄρχοντες ἀρχηγοὶ ισραηλ

5 καὶ σαλπιεῖτε σημασίαν καὶ ἐξαροῦσιν αἱ παρεμβολαὶ αἱ παρεμβάλλουσαι ἀνατολάς

6 καὶ σαλπιεῖτε σημασίαν δευτέραν καὶ ἐξαροῦσιν αἱ παρεμβολαὶ αἱ παρεμβάλλουσαι λίβα καὶ σαλπιεῖτε σημασίαν τρίτην καὶ ἐξαροῦσιν αἱ παρεμβολαὶ αἱ παρεμβάλλουσαι παρὰ θάλασσαν καὶ σαλπιεῖτε σημασίαν τετάρτην καὶ ἐξαροῦσιν αἱ παρεμβολαὶ αἱ παρεμβάλλουσαι πρὸς βορρᾶν σημασίᾳ σαλπιοῦσιν ἐν τῇ ἐξάρσει αὐτῶν

7 καὶ ὅταν συναγάγητε τὴν συναγωγήν σαλπιεῖτε καὶ οὐ σημασίᾳ

8 καὶ οἱ υἱοὶ ααρων οἱ ἱερεῖς σαλπιοῦσιν ταῖς σάλπιγξιν καὶ ἔσται ὑμῖν νόμιμον αἰώνιον εἰς τὰς γενεὰς ὑμῶν

9 ἐὰν δὲ ἐξέλθητε εἰς πόλεμον ἐν τῇ γῇ ὑμῶν πρὸς τοὺς ὑπεναντίους τοὺς ἀνθεστηκότας ὑμῖν καὶ σημανεῖτε ταῖς σάλπιγξιν καὶ ἀναμνησθήσεσθε ἔναντι κυρίου καὶ διασωθήσεσθε ἀπὸ τῶν ἐχθρῶν ὑμῶν

10 καὶ ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις τῆς εὐφροσύνης ὑμῶν καὶ ἐν ταῖς ἑορταῖς ὑμῶν καὶ ἐν ταῖς νουμηνίαις ὑμῶν σαλπιεῖτε ταῖς σάλπιγξιν ἐπὶ τοῖς ὁλοκαυτώμασιν καὶ ἐπὶ ταῖς θυσίαις τῶν σωτηρίων ὑμῶν καὶ ἔσται ὑμῖν ἀνάμνησις ἔναντι τοῦ θεοῦ ὑμῶν ἐγὼ κύριος ὁ θεὸς ὑμῶν

11 καὶ ἐγένετο ἐν τῷ ἐνιαυτῷ τῷ δευτέρῳ ἐν τῷ μηνὶ τῷ δευτέρῳ εἰκάδι τοῦ μηνὸς ἀνέβη ἡ νεφέλη ἀπὸ τῆς σκηνῆς τοῦ μαρτυρίου

12 καὶ ἐξῆραν οἱ υἱοὶ ισραηλ σὺν ἀπαρτίαις αὐτῶν ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ σινα καὶ ἔστη ἡ νεφέλη ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ τοῦ φαραν

13 καὶ ἐξῆραν πρῶτοι διὰ φωνῆς κυρίου ἐν χειρὶ μωυσῆ

14 καὶ ἐξῆραν τάγμα παρεμβολῆς υἱῶν ιουδα πρῶτοι σὺν δυνάμει αὐτῶν καὶ ἐπὶ τῆς δυνάμεως αὐτῶν ναασσων υἱὸς αμιναδαβ

15 καὶ ἐπὶ τῆς δυνάμεως φυλῆς υἱῶν ισσαχαρ ναθαναηλ υἱὸς σωγαρ

16 καὶ ἐπὶ τῆς δυνάμεως φυλῆς υἱῶν ζαβουλων ελιαβ υἱὸς χαιλων

17 καὶ καθελοῦσιν τὴν σκηνὴν καὶ ἐξαροῦσιν οἱ υἱοὶ γεδσων καὶ οἱ υἱοὶ μεραρι αἴροντες τὴν σκηνήν

18 καὶ ἐξῆραν τάγμα παρεμβολῆς ρουβην σὺν δυνάμει αὐτῶν καὶ ἐπὶ τῆς δυνάμεως αὐτῶν ελισουρ υἱὸς σεδιουρ

19 καὶ ἐπὶ τῆς δυνάμεως φυλῆς υἱῶν συμεων σαλαμιηλ υἱὸς σουρισαδαι

20 καὶ ἐπὶ τῆς δυνάμεως φυλῆς υἱῶν γαδ ελισαφ ὁ τοῦ ραγουηλ

21 καὶ ἐξαροῦσιν οἱ υἱοὶ κααθ αἴροντες τὰ ἅγια καὶ στήσουσιν τὴν σκηνήν ἕως παραγένωνται

22 καὶ ἐξαροῦσιν τάγμα παρεμβολῆς εφραιμ σὺν δυνάμει αὐτῶν καὶ ἐπὶ τῆς δυνάμεως αὐτῶν ελισαμα υἱὸς εμιουδ

23 καὶ ἐπὶ τῆς δυνάμεως φυλῆς υἱῶν μανασση γαμαλιηλ ὁ τοῦ φαδασσουρ

24 καὶ ἐπὶ τῆς δυνάμεως φυλῆς υἱῶν βενιαμιν αβιδαν ὁ τοῦ γαδεωνι

25 καὶ ἐξαροῦσιν τάγμα παρεμβολῆς υἱῶν δαν ἔσχατοι πασῶν τῶν παρεμβολῶν σὺν δυνάμει αὐτῶν καὶ ἐπὶ τῆς δυνάμεως αὐτῶν αχιεζερ ὁ τοῦ αμισαδαι

26 καὶ ἐπὶ τῆς δυνάμεως φυλῆς υἱῶν ασηρ φαγαιηλ υἱὸς εχραν

27 καὶ ἐπὶ τῆς δυνάμεως φυλῆς υἱῶν νεφθαλι αχιρε υἱὸς αιναν

28 αὗται αἱ στρατιαὶ υἱῶν ισραηλ καὶ ἐξῆραν σὺν δυνάμει αὐτῶν

29 καὶ εἶπεν μωυσῆς τῷ ιωβαβ υἱῷ ραγουηλ τῷ μαδιανίτῃ τῷ γαμβρῷ μωυσῆ ἐξαίρομεν ἡμεῖς εἰς τὸν τόπον ὃν εἶπεν κύριος τοῦτον δώσω ὑμῖν δεῦρο μεθ' ἡμῶν καὶ εὖ σε ποιήσομεν ὅτι κύριος ἐλάλησεν καλὰ περὶ ισραηλ

30 καὶ εἶπεν πρὸς αὐτόν οὐ πορεύσομαι ἀλλὰ εἰς τὴν γῆν μου καὶ εἰς τὴν γενεάν μου

31 καὶ εἶπεν μὴ ἐγκαταλίπῃς ἡμᾶς οὗ εἵνεκεν ἦσθα μεθ' ἡμῶν ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ καὶ ἔσῃ ἐν ἡμῖν πρεσβύτης

32 καὶ ἔσται ἐὰν πορευθῇς μεθ' ἡμῶν καὶ ἔσται τὰ ἀγαθὰ ἐκεῖνα ὅσα ἐὰν ἀγαθοποιήσῃ κύριος ἡμᾶς καὶ εὖ σε ποιήσομεν

33 καὶ ἐξῆραν ἐκ τοῦ ὄρους κυρίου ὁδὸν τριῶν ἡμερῶν καὶ ἡ κιβωτὸς τῆς διαθήκης κυρίου προεπορεύετο προτέρα αὐτῶν ὁδὸν τριῶν ἡμερῶν κατασκέψασθαι αὐτοῖς ἀνάπαυσιν

34 καὶ ἐγένετο ἐν τῷ ἐξαίρειν τὴν κιβωτὸν καὶ εἶπεν μωυσῆς ἐξεγέρθητι κύριε διασκορπισθήτωσαν οἱ ἐχθροί σου φυγέτωσαν πάντες οἱ μισοῦντές σε

35 καὶ ἐν τῇ καταπαύσει εἶπεν ἐπίστρεφε κύριε χιλιάδας μυριάδας ἐν τῷ ισραηλ

36 καὶ ἡ νεφέλη ἐγένετο σκιάζουσα ἐπ' αὐτοῖς ἡμέρας ἐν τῷ ἐξαίρειν αὐτοὺς ἐκ τῆς παρεμβολῆς

55. And I heard behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet. That this signifies clear perception of Divine truth to be revealed from heaven, is evident from the signification of hearing, as denoting to perceive and obey (concerning which see Arcana Coelestia 2542, 3869, 4653, 5017, 7216, 8361, 8990, 9311, 9397); from the signification of "behind me," as denoting clearly, concerning which more will be said in what follows; from the signification of a voice, when heard from heaven, as denoting Divine truth (concerning which see Arcana Coelestia 219, 220, 3563, 6971, 8813, 8914), and from the signification of a trumpet, as denoting what was to be revealed from heaven, concerning which we shall also speak presently. The reason why "behind me" signifies clearly is, because those things that flow from heaven into the affection of man, flow into the back part of the head, and thus enter clearly into his perception; for the things which enter into the affection are perceived clearly, all the life of perception being from that source; but the things that flow from heaven immediately into the thought, flow into the part above the forehead. (Concerning this influx see what is said in the work, Heaven and Hell 251.) It is therefore evident what is signified by John's hearing behind him, and by his afterwards turning to see the voice which spake with him. The reason why a trumpet, or horn, signifies Divine truth to be revealed from heaven, is, because Divine truth is sometimes so heard when it flows down from the Lord through the heavens to man; for it becomes louder in its descent and thus flows in. But it is heard in this way only in the beginning, by those to whom Divine truth is to be revealed in the ultimate sense, which is representative of interior things; afterwards it is heard as a human voice.

[2] From these considerations it is evident why it is that the voice of a trumpet, or horn, signifies Divine truth that must be revealed from heaven. He who knows that a horn or trumpet signifies Divine truth from heaven, will be able to understand several passages in the Word in which they are mentioned; as in Matthew:

"He shall send angels with a great voice of a trumpet, and they shall gather together the elect from the four winds" (24:31).

In Isaiah:

"All ye inhabitants of the world, and dwellers on the earth, when the sign of the mountains is lifted up, behold; and when the trumpet is sounded, hear" (18:3).

In Jeremiah:

"Proclaim with the trumpet in the land. Set up the standard towards Zion. How long shall I see the standard, and hear the sound of the trumpet? For my people is stupid: they are foolish sons, and have no understanding" (4:5, 6, 21, 22).

In the same prophet:

"I have set watchmen over you, saying, Hearken to the voice of the trumpet. But they said, We will not hearken. Therefore hear ye nations" (6:17, 18).

In Ezekiel:

"He heard the voice of the trumpet, and took not warning; his blood shall be upon him. But had he taken warning, he would have delivered his soul" (33:5).

And in Hosea:

"Set the trumpet to thy mouth, because they have transgressed my covenant, and have trespassed against my law" (8:1).

And in Zechariah:

"The Lord Jehovih shall sound with the trumpet, and shall go forth in whirlwinds of the south" (9:14).

And in David:

"God goeth up with a shout, and Jehovah with the voice of a trumpet" (Psalm 47:5).

And also in Apoc. 4:1; 8:2, 7, 8, 13; 9:1, 13, 14; 10:7; 18:22. Because a trumpet signified Divine truth, therefore when Divine truth had first to be revealed before the people of Israel, the voices of a trumpet were heard from Mount Sinai (Exodus 19:16). Hence, therefore, to sound with a trumpet became a representative with them, when they were convoked, when they journeyed, and also in their solemnities, in the beginnings of months, at burnt offerings and peace offerings (Numbers 10:1-10). They also sounded with trumpets when they went to battle against the Midianites (Numbers 31:6); and when they took the city of Jericho (Joshua 6:4-20); for those wars and battles signified spiritual combats, which are combats of truth against falsity, and of falsity against truth.
