blast of horn, trumpet sound (the sound produced by blowing a ram's horn or trumpet)
This noun denotes the blast or sound produced by blowing a horn or trumpet (שׁוֹפָר). Psalm 150:3 calls for praising God 'with horn-blast'—that is, with the sound of the ram's horn. The term derives from the root תָּקַע (to thrust, clap, blow a horn), and the construct form emphasizes the characteristic sound or blast of the instrument rather than the instrument itself. In Israel's worship, the shofar blast served both liturgical (festivals, worship) and military (alarm, assembly) functions. The term focuses on the auditory phenomenon—the piercing, resonant sound that summons attention.
Senses
1. sense 1 — Refers to the blast or sound produced by blowing a horn or trumpet, especially the shofar. Psalm 150:3 prescribes worship 'with blast of shofar,' emphasizing the auditory element of praise. The construct form תֵּקַע binds this noun to שׁוֹפָר, specifying the blast characteristic of that instrument—loud, resonant, piercing. Multilingual evidence (Spanish 'sonido de,' French 'son,' German 'Schall') consistently renders this as 'sound' or 'blast,' pointing to the acoustic phenomenon. The term captures the aural dimension of worship and signaling, where the sound itself carries meaning and power. 1×
