And if ye go [0935] to war [04421] in your land [0776] against [06862] the enemy that oppresseth [06887] you, then ye shall blow an alarm [07321] with the trumpets [02689]; and ye shall be remembered [02142] before [06440] the Lord [03068] your God [0430], and ye shall be saved [03467] from your enemies [0341].
