yôwbêl
rams'-horns
The primary meaning of יוֹבֵל (yôwbêl) is 'ram’s horn,' specifically in the context of a ceremonial trumpet used for signaling, particularly during significant Israelite religious and social rituals. The term extends to denote both the instrument (ram's horn, trumpet) and the event marked by its sounding, most notably the Jubilee year—a major social reset occurring every fiftieth year marked by emancipation and land restoration.

SIBI-P1 Translation H3104-03
the ram-horns
| Morphological Notes | Noun, masculine plural absolute with definite article (הַ + יֹבְלִים). |
| Rendering Rationale | The plural masculine absolute form with the definite article refers to multiple יוֹבֵל instruments. Rendering it as "the ram-horns" preserves the primary SILEX meaning of the ceremonial horn while reflecting the plural morphology. |
