Shmot / Exodus 19
טז.
16.
וַיְהִי בַיּוֹם הַשְּׁלִישִׁי בִּהְיֹת הַבֹּקֶר,
Now it was on the third day, when it was daybreak:
וַיְהִי קֹלֹת וּבְרָקִים
There were thunder-sounds, and lightning,
וְעָנָן כָּבֵד עַל-הָהָר,
a heavy cloud on the mountain
וְקֹל שֹׁפָר, חָזָק מְאֹד;
And an exceedingly strong shofar sound
וַיֶּחֱרַד כָּל-הָעָם, אֲשֶׁר בַּמַּחֲנֶה.
And all of the people that were in the camp trembled.

וַיְהִי קוֹל הַשֹּׁפָר, הוֹלֵךְ וְחָזֵק מְאֹד;
Now the shofar sound was growing exceedingly stronger
מֹשֶׁה יְדַבֵּר,
—Moshe kept speaking,
וְהָאֱלֹהִים יַעֲנֶנּוּ בְקוֹל.
and God kept answering him in the sound (of a voice)—
תפילה
Prayer
/
May the shofar sound shatter complacency.
