Footnotes
The *shofar* (ram's horn) was the ancient alarm system — sounded at holy assemblies, covenant renewals, and times of war (cf. Sinai in Ex. 19:16, Jericho in Josh. 6, and Joel 2:1's eschatological trumpet). Its blast carried the weight of divine summons and sacred urgency simultaneously. FOG retains the untranslated *shofar* to preserve its covenantal and liturgical resonance; FOG Message renders "ram's horn" for immediate sonic impact.
