for the trumpet-sounders

Rootחצר (ḥ-ṣ-r)
Core Meaningsenclose, surround, sound in enclosure, trumpet-blast
Semantic Rangeto blow a trumpet, to sound a blast, to signal musically or militarily, to announce ceremonially
Conceptual SignificanceTrumpet-sounding in Israel signaled assembly, worship, enthronement, and divine intervention. The trumpet-sounders held an important liturgical and ceremonial role, marking sacred moments and royal or temple events.
Morphological NotesPreposition לְ + Piel participle masculine plural absolute of חָצַר (in its reduplicated form חצצר), functioning substantivally: "those who trumpet." Masculine plural is preserved in "sounders."
Rendering RationaleThe form לְמְחַצְּצְרִים consists of the preposition לְ ("for") attached to a Piel masculine plural participle from חצר in its reduplicated denominative sense "to sound the trumpet." The rendering "for the trumpet-sounders" preserves the masculine plural participial force (those actively performing the action) and reflects the intensive/iterative nuance of the Piel stem.
