Temple Trumpet
Back to the SOUND ROOM Back to Main
From marine conch shells to the lengthy alphorns, the trumpet is an innovative musical instrument found in many communities. Historically, trumpets have been made from bamboo, cane, silver, shell, ivory, wood or bone. Many instruments were relatively straight in shape, such as the Arabic nafir which resembles European coach horns. More recently, trumpets have been constructed from brass and other metals.

The Chotzotzerah (khats-o-tser-aw') is the silver trumpet used in the temple service.
The name of the instrument based on its piercing and surrounding sound that it makes.
Where is the Chotzotzerah in the Bible?
In the book of Numbers 10:2 it says: "The Lord said to Moses: Make two trumpets of hammered silver, and use them for calling the community together and for having the camps set out. When both are sounded, the whole community is to assemble before you at the entrance to the tent of meeting. If only one is sounded, the leaders - the heads of the clans of Israel - are to assemble before you. When a trumpet blast is sounded, the tribes camping on the east are to set out. At the sounding of the second blast, the camps on the south are to set out. The blast will be the signal for setting out. To gather the assembly, blow the trumpets, but not with the same signal.
