A Call to Gather, Not Alarm
Commentators explain that God commanded two distinct trumpet sounds. A long, steady, and even blast called the people to assemble peacefully for instruction or worship. In contrast, a broken, quavering "alarm" signaled it was time to break camp and march. This distinction highlights God's desire for clear communication and order within His community.
