shofarot

pronounced sho-fa-ROT

Shofars — the Rosh HaShanah liturgical section that gathers biblical shofar passages

In Scripture World English Bible

Seven priests shall bear seven trumpets of rams’ horns before the ark. On the seventh day, you shall march around the city seven times, and the priests shall blow the trumpets.

Joshua 6:4 Exact occurrence — the Hebrew plural shofarot names the seven ram’s-horn trumpets carried before the ark.

On the third day, when it was morning, there were thunders and lightnings, and a thick cloud on the mountain, and the sound of an exceedingly loud trumpet; and all the people who were in the camp trembled.

Exodus 19:16 Root component — the singular shofar announces God’s presence at Sinai, a foundation for the later Shofarot liturgy.
