Commentary on Joshua 6:4

Theological / Devotional

Trumpets of rams’ horns. Not the silver trumpets of Num. 10:2 but probably trumpets manufactured of rams’ horns, bored hollow, or, perhaps, made of metal and called rams’ horns from their shape. Literally, they are called “trumpets of jobelim,” from which the term “jubile” is derived. The year of “jubile” was introduced by the sounding of trumpets (Lev. 25:9).
