(תְּרוּעָה, teruah', a loud sound or shout, as often), a broken quivering sound of the silver trumpets of the Hebrew, warning them in their journey in the wilderness (Numbers 10:5-6; comp. Leviticus 23:24; Leviticus 25:9). When the people or the rulers were to be assembled together, the trumpet was blown softly; when the camps were to move forward, or the people to march to war, it was sounded with a deeper note (Jahn, Bibl. Archaeol. § 95, 5). Hence a warnote or call to arms, or other public exigency in general (Jeremiah 4:19; Jeremiah 49:2; Zephaniah 1:16). (See TRUMPET).
