Summary Of Commentaries Associated With The Selected Verse
| Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834] |
With trumpets - The word used here is uniformly rendered "trumpets" in the Scriptures. Num 10:2, Num 10:8-10; Num 31:6; et al. The trumpet was mainly employed for convening a public assembly for worship, or for assembling the hosts for battle. The original word - חצצרה chătsôtserâh - is supposed to have been designed to imitate "the broken pulse-like sound of the trumpet, like the Latin "taratantara." So the German "trarara," and the Arabic hadadera. The word used here was given to the long, straight trumpet.
And sound of cornet ... - The word here translated "cornet" is also usually rendered "trumpet," Exo 19:16, Exo 19:19; Exo 20:18; Lev 25:9; Jos 6:4-6, Jos 6:8-9, Jos 6:13, Jos 6:16, Jos 6:20; et saepe. It is rendered "cornet" in Ch1 15:28; Ch2 15:14; Hos 5:8. In the Septuagint and the Latin Vulgate it is here rendered "horn" - the meaning of "cornet." The name - שׁפר shôphār - is supposed to have been given to this instrument from its clear and shrill sound, like the English name "clarion." It was either made of horn, or similar to a horn - an instrument curved like a horn. The instrument was in frequent use among the Hebrews. |
