Question
Hello, Numbers 10:2 Rashi mentions that Moses was commanded to make the trumpets for himself alone to use them. In verse 8, it is stated that the sons of Aaron shall blow them for all the blasts. How do these interpretations reconcile?
Answer
Hello
What Rashi wrote, that the trumpets would be for Moses and not for others, refers to the fact that they would blow before you as a king.
However, the blasts for sacrifices and to awaken for prayer, etc., were throughout the years when there was a Temple. As explained in the Rambam. See sources.
