“When ye blow an alarm, then the camps that lie on the east parts shall go forward.”
'When you blow an alarm, the camps on the east side shall set out — the 'alarm' (ruah, or blast/signal) is distinct from the assembly-summoning blast. Each directional signal (the camps on the east side, presumably Judah's division) carries specific meaning. The east side encampment, positioned toward the sunrise (the direction of revelation and new beginning), moves first.
