חֲצֹצְרָה noun feminine clarion (Late Hebrew חֲצוֺצֶרֶת, Aramaic חֲצוֺצַרְתָּצ) — mostly P and late; — absolute ׳ח Hos 5:8; plural absolute חֲצֹצְרוֺת Num 10:8 Num 10:22t.; חֲצֹצְרֹת Num 10:9-10, construct id. Num 31:6; 2Ch 13:12; חֲצוֺצְרֹת Num 10:2; clarion:
1 as secular instr. Hos 5:8 (|| שׁוֺפָר) 2Ki 11:14 (twice in verse) = 2Ch 23:13 (twice in verse).
2 as sacred instr. 2Ki 12:14, especially for use by priests (only P, Psalm 98 and Chronicles).
a. בח ׳תקע (of blowing a single long blast) Num 10:3-4, Num 10:7, Num 10:8, to gather congregation or ׳נשׂיא together, and, on festivals, over sacrifice, 'to be remembered before ׳י,' Num 10:10.
b. בח תרועה ׳תקע, or בח ׳הריע (of sounding alarm, — a series of quick blasts) for camps to move Num 10:5-6, also in battle, Num 10:9, 'to be remembered before ׳י;' so Num 31:6; 2Ch 13:12 (compare 2Ch 13:14), both ׳ח התרועה.
c. especially in Chr's descriptions of ceremonies at festivals, to express rejoicing: 1Ch 13:8; 1Ch 15:28 (|| שׁוֺפָר קוֺל), 1Ch 16:6, 1Ch 16:42; 2Ch 15:14 (|| שׁוֺפָר), 2Ch 20:28; 2Ch 29:26-27, Ezr 3:10; Neh 12:35, Neh 12:41; Psa 98:6 (|| שׁוֺפָר קוֺל); בח קוֺל ׳הָרִים2Ch 5:13; בח ׳מחצצרים 1Ch 15:24; 2Ch 5:12-13, 2Ch 13:14; in 2Ch 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 BenzArchäol. 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 Benzib. 276 and שׁוֺפָר).
