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 Hashanah is of a yael (a mountain-goat), straight (not curved), [for prayer requires simplicity]; and its mouth [that of the Temple shofar] was covered with gold. And there were two trumpets at the sides (of the shofar). The shofar (sound) was drawn out, and the trumpets, short [After the trumpets left off, the sound of the shofar was heard]; for the mitzvah of the day is with the shofar.
