OET interlinear NEH 4:20

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

אֶת־ק֣וֹל הַ⁠שּׁוֹפָ֔ר

(ʼet-qōl ha⁠shshōfār)

The implication is that the workers and guards would need to gather together to fight off an attack. The implication is also that while the people were widely scattered, they would all be able to hear the ram’s horn even from a distance, and so it would be an effective signal. If it would be helpful in your language, you could say these things explicitly. Alternate translation: “So if we all need to gather in one place to fight off an attack, I will have someone blow a ram’s horn there. You will be able to hear this signal from anywhere along the wall.”

הַ⁠שּׁוֹפָ֔ר

(ha⁠shshōfār)

See how you translated this in 4:18. Review the explanation there if that would be helpful.

אֱלֹהֵ֖י⁠נוּ יִלָּ֥חֶם לָֽ⁠נוּ

(ʼₑlohēy⁠nū yillāḩem lā⁠nū)

This does not mean that God will fight instead of the Jews, but that God will take their side and help them win. Alternate translation: “God will help us defeat our enemies”
