Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent often associated with the concept of trumpeting is תָּקַע (taqa, Strong's H8628), which means "to blow" or "to sound" a trumpet, and שׁוֹפָר (shofar, Strong's H7782), referring to the ram's horn used as a trumpet. Usage: The term "salpistés" refers to a person who plays the trumpet. In the context of the New Testament, it is used to describe those who sound the trumpet, often in a ceremonial or eschatological setting. The trumpet is a significant instrument in biblical literature, symbolizing the announcement of important events, divine intervention, or the gathering of people. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient times, trumpets were used for various purposes, including military signals, religious ceremonies, and public announcements. The sound of the trumpet was associated with authority and power. In Jewish tradition, the trumpet (shofar) was used in religious rituals, such as the Feast of Trumpets (Rosh Hashanah), and to signal the beginning of the Jubilee year. In the Greco-Roman world, trumpeters played a role in both civic and military life, often heralding the arrival of dignitaries or the start of games and battles.
