Numbers 10:3

1 Then the LORD said to Moses,

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

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.

5 When you sound short blasts, the camps that lie on the east side are to set out.

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.
