the whole congregation is to assemble before you

on Numbers 10:3-4

Both trumpets blown together bring the whole nation to the door of the tent, and one trumpet brings the princes only. The signal carries its own address, so a man knows from the sound whether he is called.

The record, by era

The Puritans and the Awakening1 voice

And when they shall blow with them,.... With both the trumpets, in an even and continued sound, that is, the sons of Aaron: all the assembly shall assemble themselves to thee at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation; to hear what was to be said unto them: blowing both the trumpets together was a token that the whole congregation was called to meet together at the tabernacle, the door of which was the usual place of assembling, especially on religious counts, for there also the Lord met them, Exo 29:42.
