Ancient Israelites used two instruments to announce their presence: a שופר[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/חצוצרה-#.m4a” /] – shofar or a horn, and a חצוצרה[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/חצוצרה-#.m4a” /] – a metallic instrument like the modern-day trumpet.
For example:
[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/חצוצרה-#.m4a” /]תִּקְעוּ שׁוֹפָר בַּגִּבְעָה, חֲצֹצְרָה בָּרָמָה. (הושע ה’, ח’)
Sound the shofar on the hill, the trumpet on the plateau. (Hosea 5:8)
