for the trumpet-sounders
| Root | חצר (ḥ-ṣ-r) |
| Core Meanings | enclose, surround, sound in enclosure, trumpet-blast |
| Semantic Range | to blow a trumpet, to sound a blast, to signal musically or militarily, to announce ceremonially |
| Conceptual Significance | Trumpet-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 Notes | Preposition 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 Rationale | The 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. |
