19:16 On29 the third day in the morning there was thunder and lightning and a dense30 cloud on the mountain, and the sound of a very loud31 horn;32 all the people who were in the camp trembled.
tn The word here is שֹׁפָר (shofar), the normal word for “horn.” This word is used especially to announce something important in a public event (see 1 Kgs 1:34; 2 Sam 6:15). The previous word used in the context (v. 16) was יֹבֵל (yovel, “ram’s horn”).
