Brown-Driver-Briggs Expanded Definition
 חֲצֹצְרָה noun feminine clarion (Late Hebrew חֲצוֺצֶרֶת, Aramaic חֲצוֺצַרְתָּצ) — mostly P and late; — absolute ׳ח Hosea 5:8; plural absolute חֲצֹצְרוֺת Numbers 10:8 22t.; חֲצֹצְרֹת Numbers 10:9,10; construct id. Numbers 31:6; 2 Chronicles 13:12; חֲצוֺצְרֹת Numbers 10:2; clarion:

1 as secular instr. Hosea 5:8 ("" שׁוֺפָר) 2 Kings 11:14 (twice in verse) = 2 Chronicles 23:13 (twice in verse).

2 as sacred instr. 2 Kings 12:14, especially for use by priests (only P, Psalm 98 and Chronicles).

a.׳תקע בח (of blowing a single long blast) Numbers 10:3,4,7,8, to gather congregation or ׳נשׂיא together, and, on festivals, over sacrifice, 'to be remembered before ׳י,' Numbers 10:10.

b.׳תקע תרועה בח, or ׳הריע בח (of sounding alarm, — a series of quick blasts) for camps to move Numbers 10:5,6, also in battle, Numbers 10:9, 'to be remembered before ׳י;' so Numbers 31:6; 2 Chronicles 13:12 (compare 2 Chronicles 13:14), both התרועה׳ח.

c. especially in Chr's descriptions of ceremonies at festivals, to express rejoicing: 1 Chronicles 13:8; 1 Chronicles 15:28 ("" קוֺל שׁוֺפָר), 1 Chronicles 16:6,42; 2 Chronicles 15:14 ("" שׁוֺפָר), 2 Chronicles 20:28; 29:26,27; Ezra 3:10; Nehemiah 12:35,41; Psalm 98:6 ("" קוֺל שׁוֺפָר); ׳הָרִים קוֺל בח 2 Chronicles 5:13; ׳מחצצרים בח 1 Chronicles 15:24; 2 Chronicles 5:12,13; 13:14; in 2 Chronicles 29:28 this participle agrees with noun in sense, and is masculine; and the clarions (= players on the clarions) sounded. — The חֲצֹצְרָה, or (sacred) clarion, was a long, straight, slender metal tube, with flaring end, see Benz Archäol. 277; distinguished thus from the שׁוֺפָר which was originally a ram's horn, and probably always retained the horn-shape; the שׁוֺפָר is mentioned constantly in the earlier literature, and was used by watchmen, warriors, etc., as well as priests (see Benz ib. 276 and שׁוֺפָר).

Gesenius' Hebrew and Chaldee Definition

חֲצֹצְרָה & חֲצוֹצְרָה f. a trumpet, Numbers 10:2, seq.; 31:6 Hosea 5:8; 2 Kings 12:14. [“This was the straight trumpet, different from the שׁוֹפָר buccina or horn, which was crooked like a horn. See Jos., Ant., iii. 12:6. Jerome on Hosea 5:8 Buxtorf’s Lexicon, p. 816.”] Various have been the conjectures as to the etymology. Most (with whom I formerly agreed), derive it from חָצַר, Arab. حِضر to be present, Conj. X. to call together; hence the form חֲצוֹצֵר was considered to be after the analogy of the 12th Arabic conjugation, to call together (with a trumpet), whence חֲצֹצְרָה a trumpet, so called from calling together. Others (amongst whom of late Ewald, Hebr. Gram. p. 242), derive חֲצֹצְרָה from חָצַר No. I; supposing it to be so called because of its being narrow and slender, an etymology much less suitable. I have no doubt that this word is onomatopoetic, imitating the clangour of the sound of a trumpet, as in Latin taratantara, in the verse of Ennius ap. Serv., ad Virg. Æn., ix. 503, Germ. trarara. To this the Hebrew word before us is similar, especially if pronounced in the Arabic manner حضاضرة had̯dera. From this noun is derived the verb
