* ye blow.
A single alarm was a signal for the eastward division to
march; two such alarms the signal for the south; and probably
three for the west, and four for the North. There appears
therefore, a deficiency in the Hebrew Text, which is thus
supplied by the LXX.: [kai salpieite semasian triten, kai
exarousin ai parembolai ai paremballousai para thalassan.
kai salpieite semasian tetarten, kai exarousin ai
parembolai ai paremballousai pros bomran.] "And when ye
blow a third alarm, or signal, the camps on the west shall
march; and when ye blow a fourth alarm, the camps on the north
shall march." This addition, however, is not acknowledged by
the Samaritan, nor any other version than the Coptic, nor any
MS. yet collated.
* the camps.
2:10-16
