Shofar Horns
Episode 5
Imagine the noise that a horn this big would make! You'd need to blow very hard!
Horns or Shofars were used by priests as part of their ceremonies. In ancient Israel they were used to signal both the New Moon and New Year. Shofars were made from animal horn - those made by Jews would be from kosher animals, usually a ram. We see horns in our stories when Gideon uses them to frighten the Midianites. You can also hear them in Episode 4 at the end of the story of Rahab when the walls of Jericho fall. We searched on the internet for "Shofar sound" to make sure we got the sound right!
