SIBI-P1 H7782-02

in the ram-horns

Rootשׁפר (sh-p-r)
Core Meaningsbrightness, clearness, beauty, incising, shaping into a curved form
Semantic Rangeram’s horn, horn instrument, trumpet-like signal instrument used in worship, warfare, coronation, and proclamation
Conceptual SignificanceThe שׁוֹפָר functions as a covenantal signal instrument in Israel—announcing divine appearance, battle, kingship, repentance, and sacred assembly. Its piercing sound embodies proclamation and awakening, marking decisive moments of divine-human encounter.
Morphological NotesPreposition בְּ (“in/with/by”) + definite article ה assimilated (בַּ) + noun שׁוֹפָר masculine plural absolute (שׁוֹפָרוֹת).
Rendering RationaleThe noun שׁוֹפָר denotes a horn instrument, traditionally made from a ram’s horn, likely named from the root שׁפר in the sense of shaping or producing a clear, bright sound. The form בַּשּׁוֹפָרוֹת is a masculine plural absolute noun with the prefixed preposition בְּ and the definite article (“in the”), so the rendering preserves the preposition, definiteness, and plural number: “in the ram-horns.”
