It is used in various contexts to denote a sound that serves as an alarm or signal. Word Origin: Derived from the root verb רוּעַ (rua), which means to shout or to raise a sound. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • G20 (ἀγαλλίασις, agalliasis): Exultation, great joy. • G1741 (ἐνδοξάζω, endoxazō): To glorify, to honor. • G2351 (θόρυβος, thorubos): Uproar, tumult. • G2906 (κραυγή, kraugē): A cry, outcry. • G4536 (σάλπιγξ, salpinx): Trumpet. • G5456 (φωνή, phōnē): Sound, voice. These Greek terms capture various aspects of "teru'ah," from the joyful and exultant expressions to the loud and commanding sounds associated with trumpets and cries. Usage: The word "teru'ah" is used in the Hebrew Bible to describe different types of loud sounds, including: • A joyful shout or acclamation, often in the context of worship or celebration. • A battle-cry, signaling the commencement of warfare or a call to arms. • The sound of trumpets, particularly in ceremonial or religious settings, such as during the Feast of Trumpets (Yom Teruah). Context: The Hebrew term "teru'ah" appears in various contexts throughout the Old Testament, illustrating its multifaceted use in ancient Israelite culture. It is frequently associated with the sound of trumpets, as seen in Leviticus 23:24, where it is used to describe the Feast of Trumpets: "In the seventh month, on the first day of the month, you are to have a day of rest, a sacred assembly announced by trumpet blasts." In the context of warfare, "teru'ah" is used to describe the battle-cry that rallies troops or signals the onset of battle. For example, in Numbers 10:9, it is written: "When you enter into battle in your land against an adversary who is attacking you, sound short blasts on the trumpets, and you will be remembered before the LORD your God and delivered from your enemies." The term also conveys a sense of joy and celebration, as seen in Psalm 47:5: "God has ascended amid shouts of joy, the LORD with the sound of trumpets." Here, "teru'ah" is associated with the jubilant acclamation of God's sovereignty and victory. Overall, "teru'ah" encapsulates the idea of a powerful, attention-grabbing sound that serves various purposes, from religious celebrations to military signals, reflecting its importance in the communal and spiritual life of ancient Israel.
