תְּרוּעָה

Leviticus 23:24 תְּרוּעָ֖ה a sound of a loud blast

“Speak to the Israelites and say, ‘On the first day of the seventh month you are to have a day of rest, a sacred assembly announced by trumpet blasts.

Here: A loud, ringing sound: a battle cry, a cheer for a king, a shout of joy, or the alarm blast of horns or trumpets. No instrument is named here. The sound itself is what defines the day.

Leviticus 25:9 תְּרוּעָה֙ [the] sound of a loud blast

Then you are to sound the horn far and wide on the tenth day of the seventh month, the Day of Atonement. You shall sound it throughout your land.

Here: Names the kind of sound: a loud, piercing signal like the shout raised in battle or when a king is acclaimed. 'Horn of blast' means the horn sounded as a public alarm or proclamation, not as background music.

Numbers 10:5 תְּרוּעָ֑ה an alarm

Numbers 10:6 תְּרוּעָה֙ תְּרוּעָ֥ה an alarm

He considers no disaster for Jacob; He sees no trouble for Israel. The LORD their God is with them, and the shout of the King is among them.

Here: "And the shout of." This is the loud cry of a crowd or the blast of a trumpet: the battle cry, the cheer that hails a king, the noise around the ark in procession. Here it is the sound of a people hailing their king.

And when there is a long blast of the ram’s horn and you hear its sound, have all the people give a mighty shout. Then the wall of the city will collapse and all your people will charge straight into the city.”

Here: 'A war-shout'. The noun comes from the same root as the verb, so the Hebrew says 'shout a shout' for emphasis. The same word was used when the ark entered the camp (1 Samuel 4:5) and when it was brought up to Jerusalem (2 Samuel 6:15).

Joshua 6:20 תְּרוּעָ֣ה a shout

So when the rams’ horns sounded, the people shouted. When they heard the blast of the horn, the people gave a great shout, and the wall collapsed. Then all the people charged straight into the city and captured it.

So all Israel brought up the ark of the covenant of the LORD with shouting, with the sounding of rams’ horns and trumpets, and with cymbals and the music of harps and lyres.

Here: "With a shout." This is the loud, ritual shout of a whole crowd, the cry raised in battle or to hail a king. It recalls earlier moments when the ark moved in front of Israel (Jericho, 1 Sam 4:5).

2 Chronicles 13:12 הַתְּרוּעָ֖ה the alarm

Now behold, God Himself is with us as our head, and His priests with their trumpets sound the battle call against you. O children of Israel, do not fight against the LORD, the God of your fathers, for you will not succeed.”

Here: The loud blast or war cry raised at the start of an attack. Here it is the "trumpets of the teruʿah": trumpets meant for sounding the battle signal.

2 Chronicles 15:14 וּבִתְרוּעָ֑ה and with a shout

They took an oath to the LORD with a loud voice, with shouting, trumpets, and rams’ horns.

Here: "And with a shout." This is the loud ritual shout raised for a king, in battle, or at a festival. Because the instruments are named separately right after it, it probably means the people's own cry of acclamation here.

Ezra 3:11 תְרוּעָ֙ה a shout of joy

And they sang responsively with praise and thanksgiving to the LORD: “For He is good; for His loving devotion to Israel endures forever.” Then all the people gave a great shout of praise to the LORD, because the foundation of the house of the LORD had been laid.

Here: 'A shout', from the same root as the verb before it ('they shouted a shout'), which adds emphasis. A teru'ah is the loud cry a crowd raises to greet a king or God.

Job 8:21 תְרוּעָֽה׃ a shout of joy

He will yet fill your mouth with laughter, and your lips with a shout of joy.

Here: Not quiet happiness but a loud, public shout of triumph or celebration, the kind raised at a victory, a festival, or when a king is acclaimed. Next to v. 22 (your enemies clothed in shame), it sounds like a shout of vindication.

Job 33:26 בִּתְרוּעָ֑ה with a shout of joy

He prays to God and finds favor; he sees God’s face and shouts for joy, and God restores His righteousness to that man.

Here: 'With a shout.' A loud ringing cry: the noise of a crowd, a trumpet blast, a festival roar. Here it is the joyful shout of worship. 'With joy' is too quiet for it.

Psalm 33:3 בִּתְרוּעָֽה׃ with a shout of joy

Sing to Him a new song; play skillfully with a shout of joy.

Here: "With a teru'ah": a loud, piercing shout or trumpet blast. The word is used for war cries, signal blasts, and the crowd's acclaim of a king. Here it is the people's roar of acclaim for God the King, rising over the strings. It is joyful, but it is more than a feeling: it is loud, public acclaim.

Psalm 47:5 בִּתְרוּעָ֑ה with a shout of joy

God has ascended amid shouts of joy, the LORD with the sound of the horn.

Here: "With / amid a shout." This is the loud cry a crowd raises to hail a king or charge into battle, and the word can also name the blast of a horn. It picks up the command of verse 1 ("shout to God," same root), so the people's shouting is the noise around God's ascent.

Psalm 89:15 תְרוּעָ֑ה <of> a shout of joy

Blessed are those who know the joyful sound, who walk, O LORD, in the light of Your presence.

Here: The loud ritual shout or trumpet blast raised to greet a king, to start a battle, or at a festival. Here it is the cry of acclamation for Yahweh as the enthroned king described in verses 5–14.

So I will kindle a fire in the walls of Rabbah to consume its citadels amid war cries on the day of battle and a violent wind on the day of tempest.
