But when the congregation is to be gathered together<\/strong>,…. At the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, and not to move in separate camps or bodies one after another:<\/p>\n you shall blow, but you shall not sound an alarm<\/strong>; blow with an even and uninterrupted sound, and not with a broken and quavering one; by which the congregation and camps were distinguished from one another, the same certain sound being given to each constantly, whereby they knew which were called to motion: see 1Co 14:8<\/span>; according to Ben Gersom blowing was a voice drawn out, and joined or continued; an alarm, a voice not joined, but broken.<\/p>\n But to call the congregation together they were to blow, not to sound an alarm. signifies blowing in short, sharp tones. = , blowing in a continued peal.<\/p>\n (7) But ye shall not sound an alarm.<\/strong>A clear and intelligible distinction was to be made between the summons to the princes, or to the congregation, to assemble at the entrance of the Tent of Meeting and the signal for the moving of the camps. So the gospel trumpet must at no time give an uncertain sound (1Co. 14:8<\/span>), but must be used faithfully and diligently by the spiritual watchmen, whether it be to warn the ungodly, to arouse the careless, or to speak to the hearts of Gods people.<\/p>\n 7<\/strong>. <\/strong> Ye shall blow <\/strong> By this is meant that the stream of sound should be articulated, or broken into sharp, short tones, instead of the long and equable blast which Dr. A. Clarke identifies with the Roman taratantara, <\/em> or clarion sound. Possibly Paul may allude to this distinction in 1Co 14:8<\/span>.<\/p>\n Num 10:7<\/span><\/em><\/strong>. <\/strong>When the congregation is to be gathered together<\/em><\/strong><\/strong> Lowman observes, that as there were no legislative powers intrusted any where in this constitution, the national revenue settled, and no soldiery in pay, all holding their estates by military service; there was no reason for new taxes: so that the Hebrew congregation, or parliament, could have no business either to make new laws, or to raise money. The things, therefore, in which the consent and authority of the people were requisite, and for which the congregation was to be convened, were war and peace with neighbouring nations; differences between tribes; and receiving and establishing principal officers and magistrates. <\/p>\n Num 10:7 But when the congregation is to be gathered together, ye shall blow, but ye shall not sound an alarm.<\/p>\n Ver. 7. But when the congregation.<\/strong> ] Cenalis, bishop of Avranche, a<\/em> was hard driven, when to prove the Church of Rome a true church, he makes no mention at all of ministers, or ordinances, but allegeth that the Catholics had bells to assemble them together, whereas the Lutherans met by the clap of harquebuses b<\/em> and pistols. And so he goes on to triumph in a long antithesis. The bells, saith he, do sound, the harquebuses crack. The bells give a sweet and melodious tune, but the harquebuses a foul and terrible noise. Bells open heaven; the other hell. Bells chase away clouds and thunder; the other, gender clouds and counterfeit thunder, &c. Oh, the profound arguments of these doting doctors! <\/p>\n <\/p>\n But you shall not sound an alarm.<\/strong> ] Or, A broken sound; but a continued equal sound, as fittest for their quiet assembling, to the service of God, and hearing of the law. The sound of God’s word must not be broken or quavering – pompalis,<\/em> Tertullian calleth it – but downright and simple. Non oratorum filii sumus, sed piscatorum: nec verborum<\/em> , sed Spiritus<\/em> , c<\/em> &c. 1Co 2:1 ; <\/em> 1Co 2:4 <\/p>\n<\/p>\n a<\/em> Act. and Mon., <\/em> fol. 838. <\/p>\n b<\/em> The early type of portable gun, varying in size from a small cannon to a musket, which on account of its weight was, when used in the field, supported upon a tripod, trestle, or other ‘carriage’, and afterwards upon a forked ‘rest’. <\/p>\n c<\/em> Nazianz., ad Libanium.<\/em> <\/p>\n congregation = assembly = a portion only, in its military character. <\/p>\n ye shall blow: Num 10:3, Num 10:4 <\/p>\n sound: Joe 2:1 <\/p>\n Reciprocal: Num 10:2 – the calling Num 10:5 – blow<\/p>\n But when the congregation is to be gathered together, ye shall blow, but ye shall not sound an alarm.
