Numbers 10:2

1 Then the LORD said to Moses,

“Make two trumpets of hammered silver to be used for calling the congregation and for having the camps set out.

3 When both are sounded, the whole congregation is to assemble before you at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting.

4 But if only one is sounded, then the leaders, the heads of the clans of Israel, are to gather before you.

This was said to Israel at a particular time, so it is wise to read it together with the surrounding text. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
