The Rosh Hashana Shofar in the Mikdash

שׁוֹפָר שֶׁל רֹאשׁ הַשָּׁנָה בַּמִּקְדָּשׁ
Mishnah ראש השנה ג׳:ג׳ · Rosh Hashana 3:3
שׁוֹפָר שֶׁל רֹאשׁ הַשָּׁנָה
שֶׁל יָעֵל,
פָּשׁוּט,
וּפִיו מְצֻפֶּה זָהָב,
וּשְׁתֵּי חֲצוֹצְרוֹת מִן הַצְּדָדִין.
שׁוֹפָר מַאֲרִיךְ
וַחֲצוֹצְרוֹת מְקַצְּרוֹת,
שֶׁמִּצְוַת הַיּוֹם בַּשּׁוֹפָר:
The shofar of Rosh Hashana:
of an ibex,
straight,
its mouth plated with gold,
and two chatzotzros — trumpets — one at either side.
The shofar draws its blast out long
and the trumpets cut theirs short,
because the mitzvah of the day is the shofar.

what does this mean?

A reading aid, not an exact translation.

This English is a clause-by-clause rendering to help you follow the Hebrew. It is not word-for-word literal, and it is not a transcript of the recorded shiur — the audio carries explanation and context the translation deliberately leaves out.

Transcript
A machine transcript of the recorded shiur.

This is the shiur as spoken, transcribed automatically and left unedited — the wording is Ephraim's, and occasional transcription errors remain. It follows the audio word by word.
