חֲצֹצְרָה noun feminine clarion (Late Hebrew חֲצוֺצֶרֶת, Aramaic חֲצוֺצַרְתָּצ) — mostly P and late; — absolute ׳ח Hosea 5:8; plural absolute חֲצֹצְרוֺת Numbers 10:8 22t.; חֲצֹצְרֹת Numbers 10:9,10; construct id. Numbers 31:6; 2Chronicles 13:12; חֲצוֺצְרֹת Numbers 10:2; clarion:

1 as secular instr. Hosea 5:8 ("" שׁוֺפָר) 2 Kings 11:14 (twice in verse) = 2Chronicles 23:13 (twice in verse).

2 as sacred instr. 2 Kings 12:14, especially for use by priests (only P, Psalm 98 and Chronicles).

a. ׳תקע בח (of blowing a single long blast) Numbers 10:3,4,7,8, to gather congregation or ׳נשׂיא together, and, on festivals, over sacrifice, 'to be remembered before ׳י,' Numbers 10:10.

b. ׳תקע תרועה בח, or ׳הריע בח (of sounding alarm, — a series of quick blasts) for camps to move Numbers 10:5,6, also in battle, Numbers 10:9, 'to be remembered before ׳י;' so Numbers 31:6; 2Chronicles 13:12 (compare 2 Chronicles 13:14), both התרועה ׳ח.

c. especially in Chr's descriptions of ceremonies at festivals, to express rejoicing: 1 Chronicles 13:8; 1 Chronicles 15:28 ("" קוֺל שׁוֺפָר), 1 Chronicles 16:6,42; 2Chronicles 15:14 ("" שׁוֺפָר), 2 Chronicles 20:28; 29:26,27; Ezra 3:10; Nehemiah 12:35,41; Psalm 98:6 ("" קוֺל שׁוֺפָר); ׳הָרִים קוֺל בח2Chronicles 5:13; ׳מחצצרים בח 1 Chronicles 15:24; 2Chronicles 5:12,13; 13:14; in 2 Chronicles 29:28 this participle agrees with noun in sense, and is masculine; and the clarions (= players on the clarions) sounded. — The חֲצֹצְרָה, or (sacred) clarion, was a long, straight, slender metal tube, with flaring end, see Benz^{Archäol. 277}; distinguished thus from the שׁוֺפָר which was originally a ram's horn, and probably always retained the horn-shape; the שׁוֺפָר is mentioned constantly in the earlier literature, and was used by watchmen, warriors, etc., as well as priests (see Benz^{ib. 276 and} שׁוֺפָר).

Topical Lexicon

Word Origin: Derived from an unused root meaning to blow or sound a trumpet.

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • G2278 (ἔσχατος, eschatos): While not directly related to the concept of a trumpet, this term is often associated with eschatological themes where trumpets are mentioned in the New Testament.
• G4536 (σάλπιγξ, salpinx): This Greek term directly corresponds to the Hebrew חֲצֹצְרָה, referring to a trumpet. It is used in the New Testament in contexts such as the sounding of the last trumpet in eschatological passages, for example, 1 Corinthians 15:52: "in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed."

The חֲצֹצְרָה, therefore, holds a multifaceted role in the biblical narrative, symbolizing divine communication, worship, and the call to action, both in times of peace and conflict.

Usage: The term חֲצֹצְרָה is used in the Hebrew Bible to refer to a type of trumpet employed in religious ceremonies, military signals, and public announcements. It is distinct from the shofar, which is made from a ram's horn.

Context: The חֲצֹצְרָה, or trumpet, is a significant instrument in the religious and cultural life of ancient Israel. It is mentioned in several contexts throughout the Hebrew Bible, often associated with the worship and rituals of the Israelites. The חֲצֹצְרָה was typically made of silver, as described in Numbers 10:2, where God instructs Moses to make two silver trumpets for summoning the congregation and for breaking camp.

In the religious life of Israel, the חֲצֹצְרָה was used during offerings and sacrifices, as seen in 2 Chronicles 29:27: "Hezekiah gave the order to offer the burnt offering on the altar. As the offering began, the song of the LORD and the trumpets began, accompanied by the instruments of David king of Israel." The sound of the trumpet was also a call to worship and a signal for the assembly of the people.

The חֲצֹצְרָה played a role in military contexts as well, serving as a signal for battle or retreat. In Numbers 10:9, the Israelites are instructed to use the trumpets to sound an alarm when going into battle against an enemy.

The use of the חֲצֹצְרָה is also noted in celebratory and festive occasions, such as the dedication of the temple and other significant events in the life of the nation. In 2 Chronicles 5:13, during the dedication of Solomon's Temple, the trumpeters and singers joined in unison to praise and thank the LORD.
