A TRUMPET — and specifically NOT the shofar, the curved ram's horn most readers picture. A chatzotzrah is a straight metal instrument; Numbers 10:2 (already on these pages) has Moses make two of them from silver, of miqshah, HAMMERED work — the identical term used for the gold lampstand (Exodus 25:31; Numbers 8:4, both already on these pages), so trumpet and lampstand are made by the same technique out of different metals. The two words are kept distinct throughout this translation because the Hebrew keeps them distinct: the shofar sounds at Sinai and at the jubilee, while the chatzotzrot are priestly instruments belonging to the tabernacle's own routine, blown only by Aaron's sons (10:8). ⚠ Their most famous depiction is not Jewish but Roman: the Arch of Titus in Rome carves the temple trumpets among the spoils carried out of Jerusalem in AD 70, straight-tubed, exactly as the name implies. → first discussed at Num 10:2
