בַּ/שּׁוֹפָ֔ר
𐤁/𐤔𐤅𐤐𐤓
shôwphâr
in-the-trumpet
A ram's horn or trumpet-like wind instrument, traditionally made from the curved horn of a ram or similar animal, used for signaling, ritual, or ceremonial purposes. In Israelite society, the shofar was specifically utilized as a signaling device in warfare, for religious festivals and ceremonies (notably the Day of Blowing at the seventh month and the Jubilee year), and for summoning assemblies. The term connotes both the physical instrument and the act of sounding it for specific communal or religious purposes. The shofar's distinctive, piercing sound also denotes alerting or announcing significant collective events.

SIBI-P1 Translation H7782-01
with the ram-horn
| Morphological Notes | Preposition ב ("in/with") + definite article ה assimilated (בַּ) + noun masculine singular absolute שׁוֹפָר. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun שׁוֹפָר denotes a ram’s horn used as a ceremonial signaling instrument; rendering it as "ram-horn" preserves its concrete, root-connected identity rather than a generic "trumpet." The prefixed בַּ־ (preposition ב + definite article) is reflected as "with the," and the masculine singular form is maintained. |
