The Trumpets Were Sounded by Aaron's Sons, the Priests

Exodus 28:1 And take <07126> (8685) thou unto thee Aaron <0175> thy brother <0251>, and his sons <01121> with him, from among <08432> the children <01121> of Israel <03478>, that he may minister unto me in the priest’s office <03547> (8763), even Aaron <0175>, Nadab <05070> and Abihu <030>, Eleazar <0499> and Ithamar <0385>, Aaron’s <0175> sons <01121>.

These five were set aside for the particular ministry of priesthood. They typify the five-fold ascension gift ministries of Ephesians 4:11.

And <2532> he <846> gave <1325> (5656) some <3303>, apostles <652>; and <1161> some, prophets <4396>; and <1161> some, evangelists <2099>; and <1161> some, pastors <4166> and <2532> teachers <1320>;

These ministries have the responsibility to the whole Body of Christ to sound a crisp, clear, distinct, certain note.

1 Corinthians 14:8 For <1063> <2532> if <1437> the trumpet <4536> give <1325> (5632) an uncertain <82> sound <5456>, who <5101> shall prepare himself <3903> (5695) to <1519> the battle <4171>?

Deuteronomy 31:9-13 And Moses <04872> wrote <03789> (8799) this law <08451>, and delivered <05414> (8799) it unto the priests <03548> the sons <01121> of Levi <03878>, which bare <05375> (8802) the ark <0727> of the covenant <01285> of the LORD <03068>, and unto all the elders <02205> of Israel <03478>.

10 And Moses <04872> commanded <06680> (8762) them, saying <0559> (8800), At the end <07093> of every seven <07651> years <08141>, in the solemnity <04150> of the year <08141> of release <08059>, in the feast <02282> of tabernacles <05521>,

11 When all Israel <03478> is come <0935> (8800) to appear <07200> (8736) before <06440> the LORD <03068> thy God <0430> in the place <04725> which he shall choose <0977> (8799), thou shalt read <07121> (8799) this law <08451> before all Israel <03478> in their hearing <0241>.

12 Gather <06950> <00> the people <05971> together <06950> (8685), men <0582>, and women <0802> , and children <02945>, and thy stranger <01616> that is within thy gates <08179>, that they may hear <08085> (8799), and that they may learn <03925> (8799), and fear <03372> (8804) the LORD <03068> your God <0430>, and observe <08104> (8804) to do <06213> (8800) all the words <01697> of this law <08451>:

13 And that their children <01121>, which have not known <03045> (8804) any thing, may hear <08085> (8799) , and learn <03925> (8804) to fear <03372> (8800) the LORD <03068> your God <0430>, as long as <03117> ye live <02416> in the land <0127> whither ye go over <05674> (8802) Jordan <03383> to possess <03423> (8800) it.

Ezra 3:1, 4, 6, 10-13 And when the seventh <07637> month <02320> was come <05060> (8799), and the children <01121> of Israel <03478> were in the cities <05892>, the people <05971> gathered themselves together <0622> (8735) as one <0259> man <0376> to Jerusalem <03389>.

4 They kept <06213> (8799) also the feast <02282> of tabernacles <05521>, as it is written <03789> (8803), and offered the daily <03117> <03117> burnt offerings <05930> by number <04557>, according to the custom <04941>, as the duty <01697> of every day <03117> required <03117>; {as the duty…: Heb. the matter of the day in his day}

6 From the first <0259> day <03117> of the seventh <07637> month <02320> began <02490> (8689) they to offer <05927> (8687) burnt offerings <05930> unto the LORD <03068>. But the foundation <03245> <00> of the temple <01964> of the LORD <03068> was not yet laid <03245> (8795). {the foundation…: Heb. the temple of the LORD was not yet founded}

10-13 And when the builders <01129> (8802) laid the foundation <03245> (8765) of the temple <01964> of the LORD <03068>, they set <05975> (8686) the priests <03548> in their apparel <03847> (8794) with trumpets <02689>, and the Levites <03881> the sons <01121> of Asaph <0623> with cymbals <04700>, to praise <01984> (8763) the LORD <03068>, after the ordinance <03027> of David <01732> king <04428> of Israel <03478>.

11 And they sang together by course <06030> (8799) in praising <01984> (8763) and giving thanks <03034> (8687) unto the LORD <03068>; because he is good <02896>, for his mercy <02617> endureth for ever <05769> toward Israel <03478> . And all the people <05971> shouted <07321> (8689) with a great <01419> shout <08643>, when they praised <01984> (8763) the LORD <03068>, because the foundation <03245> <00> of the house <01004> of the LORD <03068> was laid <03245> (8717).

12 But many <07227> of the priests <03548> and Levites <03881> and chief <07218> of the fathers <01>, who were ancient men <02205>, that had seen <07200> (8804) the first <07223> house <01004>, when the foundation <03245> <00> of this house <01004> was laid <03245> (8800) before their eyes <05869>, wept <01058> (8802) with a loud <01419> voice <06963>; and many <07227> shouted <08643> aloud <07311> (8687) for joy <08057>:

13 So that the people <05971> could not discern <05234> (8688) the noise <06963> of the shout <08643> of joy <08057> from the noise <06963> of the weeping <01065> of the people <05971>: for the people <05971> shouted <07321> (8688) with a loud <01419> shout <08643>, and the noise <06963> was heard <08085> (8738) afar off <07350>.

Nehemiah 8:1-3, 5-9, 12-14, 18 And all the people <05971> gathered themselves together <0622> (8735) as one <0259> man <0376> into the street <07339> that was before <06440> the water <04325> gate <08179>; and they spake <0559> (8799) unto Ezra <05830> the scribe <05608> (8802) to bring <0935> (8687) the book <05612> of the law <08451> of Moses <04872>, which the LORD <03068> had commanded <06680> (8765) to Israel <03478>.

2 And Ezra <05830> the priest <03548> brought <0935> (8686) the law <08451> before <06440> the congregation <06951> both of men <0376> and women <0802>, and all that could hear <08085> (8800) with understanding <0995> (8688) , upon the first <0259> day <03117> of the seventh <07637> month <02320>. {that…: Heb. that understood in hearing}

3 And he read <07121> (8799) therein before <06440> the street <07339> that was before <06440> the water <04325> gate <08179> from the morning <0216> until midday <04276> <03117>, before the men <0582> and the women <0802> , and those that could understand <0995> (8688); and the ears <0241> of all the people <05971> were attentive unto the book <05612> of the law <08451>. {from…: Heb. from the light}

5-9 And Ezra <05830> opened <06605> (8799) the book <05612> in the sight <05869> of all the people <05971> ; (for he was above all the people <05971>;) and when he opened <06605> (8800) it, all the people <05971> stood up <05975> (8804) : {sight: Heb. eyes}

6 And Ezra <05830> blessed <01288> (8762) the LORD <03068>, the great <01419> God <0430>. And all the people <05971> answered <06030> (8799), Amen <0543>, Amen <0543>, with lifting up <04607> their hands <03027>: and they bowed <06915> (8799) their heads, and worshipped <07812> (8691) the LORD <03068> with their faces <0639> to the ground <0776>.

7 Also Jeshua <03442>, and Bani <01137>, and Sherebiah <08274>, Jamin <03226>, Akkub <06126>, Shabbethai <07678>, Hodijah <01941>, Maaseiah <04641>, Kelita <07042>, Azariah <05838>, Jozabad <03107>, Hanan <02605>, Pelaiah <06411>, and the Levites <03881>, caused the people <05971> to understand <0995> (8688) the law <08451>: and the people <05971> stood in their place <05977>.

8 So they read <07121> (8799) in the book <05612> in the law <08451> of God <0430> distinctly <06567> (8794), and gave <07760> (8800) the sense <07922>, and caused them to understand <0995> (8799) the reading <04744> .

9 And Nehemiah <05166>, which is the Tirshatha <08660>, and Ezra <05830> the priest <03548> the scribe <05608> (8802), and the Levites <03881> that taught <0995> (8688) the people <05971>, said <0559> (8799) unto all the people <05971>, This day <03117> is holy <06918> unto the LORD <03068> your God <0430>; mourn <056> (8691) not, nor weep <01058> (8799). For all the people <05971> wept <01058> (8802), when they heard <08085> (8800) the words <01697> of the law <08451>. {the Tirshatha: or, the governor}

12-14 And all the people <05971> went their way <03212> (8799) to eat <0398> (8800), and to drink <08354> (8800), and to send <07971> (8763) portions <04490>, and to make <06213> (8800) great <01419> mirth <08057> , because they had understood <0995> (8689) the words <01697> that were declared <03045> (8689) unto them.

13 And on the second <08145> day <03117> were gathered together <0622> (8738) the chief <07218> of the fathers <01> of all the people <05971>, the priests <03548>, and the Levites <03881>, unto Ezra <05830> the scribe <05608> (8802) , even to understand <07919> (8687) the words <01697> of the law <08451>. {to understand…: or, that they might instruct in the words of the law}

14 And they found <04672> (8799) written <03789> (8803) in the law <08451> which the LORD <03068> had commanded <06680> (8765) by <03027> Moses <04872>, that the children <01121> of Israel <03478> should dwell <03427> (8799) in booths <05521> in the feast <02282> of the seventh <07637> month <02320>: {by: Heb. by the hand of}

18 Also day <03117> by day <03117>, from the first <07223> day <03117> unto the last <0314> day <03117> , he read <07121> (8799) in the book <05612> of the law <08451> of God <0430>. And they kept <06213> (8799) the feast <02282> seven <07651> days <03117>; and on the eighth <08066> day <03117> was a solemn assembly <06116>, according unto the manner <04941>. {a solemn…: Heb. a restraint}

Revelation 5:1, 5, 10, 13, 14 And <2532> I saw <1492> (5627) in <1909> the right hand <1188> of him that sat <2521> (5740) on <1909> the throne <2362> a book <975> written <1125> (5772) within <2081> and <2532> on the backside <3693>, sealed <2696> (5772) with seven <2033> seals <4973>.

5 And <2532> one <1520> of <1537> the elders <4245> saith <3004> (5719) unto me <3427>, Weep <2799> (5720) not <3361>: behold <2400> (5628), the Lion <3023> of <5607> (5752) <1537> the tribe <5443> of Juda <2455>, the Root <4491> of David <1138>, hath prevailed <3528> (5656) to open <455> (5658) the book <975>, and <2532> to loose <3089> (5658) the seven <2033> seals <4973> thereof <846>.

10 And <2532> hast made <4160> (5656) us <2248> unto our <2257> God <2316> kings <935> and <2532> priests <2409>: and <2532> we shall reign <936> (5692) on <1909> the earth <1093>.

13 And <2532> every <3956> creature <2938> which <3739> is <2076> (5748) in <1722> heaven <3772>, and <2532> on <1722> the earth <1093>, and <2532> under <5270> the earth <1093>, and <2532> such as <3739> are <2076> (5748) in <1909> the sea <2281>, and <2532> all <3956> that are in <1722> them <846>, heard I <191> (5656) saying <3004> (5723), Blessing <2129>, and <2532> honour <5092>, and <2532> glory <1391>, and <2532> power <2904>, be unto him that sitteth <2521> (5740) upon <1909> the throne <2362>, and <2532> unto the Lamb <721> for <1519> ever <165> and ever <165>.

14 And <2532> the four <5064> beasts <2226> said <3004> (5707), Amen <281>. And <2532> the four <5064> and twenty <1501> elders <4245> fell down <4098> (5627) and <2532> worshipped <4352> (5656) him that liveth <2198> (5723) for <1519> ever <165> and ever <165>.

An Alarm Was Sounded When Going to War Against an Enemy

Joel 2:1, 15 Blow <08628> (8798) ye the trumpet <07782> in Zion <06726>, and sound an alarm <07321> (8685) in my holy <06944> mountain <02022>: let all the inhabitants <03427> (8802) of the land <0776> tremble <07264> (8799) : for the day <03117> of the LORD <03068> cometh <0935> (8804), for it is nigh at hand <07138>; {trumpet: or, cornet}

15 Blow <08628> (8798) the trumpet <07782> in Zion <06726>, sanctify <06942> (8761) a fast <06685> , call <07121> (8798) a solemn assembly <06116>:

1 Corinthians 13:1 Though <1437> I speak <2980> (5725) with the tongues <1100> of men <444> and <2532> of angels <32>, and <1161> have <2192> (5725) not <3361> charity <26>, I am become <1096> (5754) as sounding <2278> (5723) brass <5475>, or <2228> a tinkling <214> (5723) cymbal <2950>.

Revelation 8:2 And <2532> I saw <1492> (5627) the seven <2033> angels <32> which <3739> stood <2476> (5758) before <1799> God <2316>; and <2532> to them <846> were given <1325> (5681) seven <2033> trumpets <4536>.

1 Corinthians 15:52 In <1722> a moment <823>, in <1722> the twinkling <4493> of an eye <3788>, at <1722> the last <2078> trump <4536>: for <1063> the trumpet shall sound <4537> (5692), and <2532> the dead <3498> shall be raised <1453> (5701) incorruptible <862>, and <2532> we <2249> shall be changed <236> (5691).

1 Thessalonians 4:16 For <3754> the Lord <2962> himself <846> shall descend <2597> (5695) from <575> heaven <3772> with <1722> a shout <2752>, with <1722> the voice <5456> of the archangel <743>, and <2532> with <1722> the trump <4536> of God <2316>: and <2532> the dead <3498> in <1722> Christ <5547> shall rise <450> (5698) first <4412>:

The Trumpets Were Used on Feast Days

1 Chronicles 15:24-29 And Shebaniah <07645>, and Jehoshaphat <03146>, and Nethaneel <05417>, and Amasai <06022>, and Zechariah <02148> , and Benaiah <01141>, and Eliezer <0461>, the priests <03548>, did blow <02690> (8688) (8675) <02690> (8764) with the trumpets <02689> before <06440> the ark <0727> of God <0430>: and Obededom <05654> and Jehiah <03174> were doorkeepers <07778> for the ark <0727>.

25 So David <01732>, and the elders <02205> of Israel <03478>, and the captains <08269> over thousands <0505>, went <01980> (8802) to bring up <05927> (8687) the ark <0727> of the covenant <01285> of the LORD <03068> out of the house <01004> of Obededom <05654> with joy <08057>.

26 And it came to pass, when God <0430> helped <05826> (8800) the Levites <03881> that bare <05375> (8802) the ark <0727> of the covenant <01285> of the LORD <03068>, that they offered <02076> (8799) seven <07651> bullocks <06499> and seven <07651> rams <0352>.

27 And David <01732> was clothed <03736> (8794) with a robe <04598> of fine linen <0948>, and all the Levites <03881> that bare <05375> (8802) the ark <0727>, and the singers <07891> (8789), and Chenaniah <03663> the master <08269> of the song <04853> with the singers <07891> (8789): David <01732> also had upon him an ephod <0646> of linen <0906>. {song: or, carriage}

28 Thus all Israel <03478> brought up <05927> (8688) the ark <0727> of the covenant <01285> of the LORD <03068> with shouting <08643>, and with sound <06963> of the cornet <07782>, and with trumpets <02689>, and with cymbals <04700>, making a noise <08085> (8688) with psalteries <05035> and harps <03658>.

29 And it came to pass, as the ark <0727> of the covenant <01285> of the LORD <03068> came <0935> (8804) to the city <05892> of David <01732>, that Michal <04324> the daughter <01323> of Saul <07586> looking out <08259> (8738) at a window <02474> saw <07200> (8799) king <04428> David <01732> dancing <07540> (8764) and playing <07832> (8764): and she despised <0959> (8799) him in her heart <03820>.

Psalm 47:5, 6 God <0430> is gone up <05927> (8804) with a shout <08643>, the LORD <03068> with the sound <06963> of a trumpet <07782>.

6 Sing praises <02167> (8761) to God <0430>, sing praises <02167> (8761): sing praises <02167> (8761) unto our King <04428>, sing praises <02167> (8761).

Psalm 150:3 Praise <01984> (8761) him with the sound <08629> of the trumpet <07782>: praise <01984> (8761) him with the psaltery <05035> and harp <03658>. {trumpet: or, cornet}

The Trumpets Were to be Blown Over the Offerings

2 Chronicles 29:27, 28 And Hezekiah <02396> commanded <0559> (8799) to offer <05927> (8687) the burnt offering <05930> upon the altar <04196>. And when <06256> the burnt offering <05930> began <02490> (8689), the song <07892> of the LORD <03068> began <02490> (8689) also with the trumpets <02689>, and with the instruments <03627> ordained by <03027> David <01732> king <04428> of Israel <03478>. {when: Heb. in the time} {the instruments: Heb. hands of instruments}
