Two Trumpets
from Ken Winter · host Ken Winter
One day in the wilderness, the Lord said to Moses, “Make two trumpets of beaten silver.”(1) The trumpets were to be used for summoning and signaling, as an alarm and a reminder, as an announcement of celebratory gladness and reverent rejoicing. But most of all, the trumpets were to serve as a reminder to the Lord of His covenant with His people. It is interesting to me that these trumpets were forged and formed in the wilderness. They were not brought from Egypt. They would have purpose in the wilderness and they would have a continuing purpose in the Promised Land.

What this episode covers
God told Moses to make two trumpets. They were not brought from Egypt. They were formed in the wilderness. There is greater value in instruments that are formed in the wilderness. They are more durable and resilient; they are made to take more of a beating. The journey and the conditions are such that the instrument isn’t pampered; it must endure greater hardship. But that hardship results in a heartier instrument – one with greater strength and stamina. And that’s still true today!
