Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often used in the Septuagint for "chatsotsrah" is σάλπιγξ (salpinx), Strong's Greek #4536, which also refers to a trumpet or horn.

Usage: The term "chatsotsrah" refers to a type of trumpet used in ancient Israel. It is distinct from the shofar, which is made from a ram's horn. The chatsotsrah was typically made of metal, often silver, and was used for various ceremonial and practical purposes, including religious rituals, signaling during battle, and calling assemblies.

Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, the chatsotsrah held significant religious and cultural importance. It was used in the tabernacle and temple services, particularly during offerings and festivals. The sound of the trumpet was a call to worship, a signal for movement, and a means of communication. The use of trumpets is deeply embedded in the religious life of Israel, symbolizing God's presence and the call to His people.

חֲצֹצְרָה noun feminine clarion (Late Hebrew חֲצוֺצֶרֶת, Aramaic חֲצוֺצַרְתָּצ) — mostly P and late; — absolute ׳ח Hosea 5:8; plural absolute חֲצֹצְרוֺת Numbers 10:8 22t.; חֲצֹצְרֹת Numbers 10:9,10; construct id. Numbers 31:6; 2Chronicles 13:12; חֲצוֺצְרֹת Numbers 10:2; clarion:

1 as secular instr. Hosea 5:8 ("" שׁוֺפָר) 2 Kings 11:14 (twice in verse) = 2Chronicles 23:13 (twice in verse).

2 as sacred instr. 2 Kings 12:14, especially for use by priests (only P, Psalm 98 and Chronicles).

a. ׳תקע בח (of blowing a single long blast) Numbers 10:3,4,7,8, to gather congregation or ׳נשׂיא together, and, on festivals, over sacrifice, 'to be remembered before ׳י,' Numbers 10:10.

b. ׳תקע תרועה בח, or ׳הריע בח (of sounding alarm, — a series of quick blasts) for camps to move Numbers 10:5,6, also in battle, Numbers 10:9, 'to be remembered before ׳י;' so Numbers 31:6; 2Chronicles 13:12 (compare 2 Chronicles 13:14), both התרועה ׳ח.

c. especially in Chr's descriptions of ceremonies at festivals, to express rejoicing: 1 Chronicles 13:8; 1 Chronicles 15:28 ("" קוֺל שׁוֺפָר), 1 Chronicles 16:6,42; 2Chronicles 15:14 ("" שׁוֺפָר), 2 Chronicles 20:28; 29:26,27; Ezra 3:10; Nehemiah 12:35,41; Psalm 98:6 ("" קוֺל שׁוֺפָר); ׳הָרִים קוֺל בח2Chronicles 5:13; ׳מחצצרים בח 1 Chronicles 15:24; 2Chronicles 5:12,13; 13:14; in 2 Chronicles 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).
