When ye blow an alarm, then the camps that lie on the east parts shall go forward.
When ye blow an alarm, х tªruw`aah (H8643)] - a loud noise, a broken but prolonged peal [Septuagint, seemasian. One alarm was the recognized signal for the eastern division of the camp-namely, the tribes of Judah, Issachar, and Zebulun-to march; two alarm notes gave the signal for the southern to move; and, though it is not in our present Hebrew text, the Septuagint has salpieite seemasian triteen, kai ekarousin hai parembolai hai paremballousai para thalassan kai salpieite seemasian tetarteen, kai exarousin hai parembolai hai paremballousai pros borran - i:e., that on three alarms being sounded, those on the west; while on four blasts, those on the north decamped.] Thus, the greatest order and discipline were established in the Israelite camp-no military march could be better regulated.
