Shofar
In Daniel 3:5-15 the word is qeren and signifies “horn or cornet.” In 2 Samuel 6:5 the word is manaanim, and signifies an instrument that makes a tinkling sound on being shaken, as a “sistrum.” In the four other places the word is shophar, which is often translated “trumpet” (1 Chron. 15:28; 2 Chron. 15:14; Psa. 98:6; Hos. 5:8).
