Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the root verb תָּקַע (taqa‘), which means "to thrust" or "to blow."Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • G4536 (σάλπιγξ, salpinx): A trumpet or the sound of a trumpet. Usage: The term תֵּקַע (teqa‘) is used in the context of a trumpet blast, often associated with ceremonial or military purposes in ancient Israelite culture. Context: The Hebrew word תֵּקַע (teqa‘) refers specifically to the sound produced by a trumpet, an instrument often used in biblical times for signaling, gathering assemblies, or marking significant events. The trumpet blast, or תֵּקַע, was a crucial element in the religious and social life of Israel. It was used to announce the beginning of festivals, to call people to worship, and to signal the start of battle. The sound of the trumpet was also associated with the presence of God, as seen in the theophany at Mount Sinai, where the sound of a trumpet grew louder and louder (Exodus 19:19). In the prophetic literature, the trumpet blast is often symbolic of divine intervention or judgment, as in the book of Joel, where the trumpet is sounded to warn of impending judgment (Joel 2:1). The תֵּקַע thus serves as a powerful auditory symbol of both divine communication and human response.
