The Silver Trumpets

The voice of God's summons—calling His people to gather, move, worship, and prepare.

The Silver Trumpets were two sacred trumpets made from hammered silver at God's command. They were used by Israel's priests to summon the congregation, direct the movement of the camp, announce festivals, and sound alarms in times of war.
