1. ram, only in combination: ׳בִּמְשֹׁךְ בְּקֶרֶן הַיּ Josh 6:5 the ram's horn, as wind-instrument; so שׁוֺפְרוֺת(ה)י(ו)בלים Josh 6:4; Josh 6:6; Josh 6:8; Josh 6:13 rams' horns (see Benz^{Archäol. 276}); יֹבֵל alone, בִּמְשֹׁךְ הַיֹּבֵל Exod 19:13 at the sounding of the ram ('s horn).

2. designation of 50th year, marked by blowing of cornets, AV 'jubile' (so Late Hebrew יוֺבֵל, ᵑ7 יובֵילָא, as loan-word); originally no doubt שְׁנַת הַיּוֺבֵל year of the ram ('s horn), as Lev 25:13; Lev 25:28; Lev 25:40; Lev 25:50; Lev 25:52; Lev 25:54 (all H), Lev 27:17; Lev 27:18; Lev 27:23; Lev 27:24 (all P), but then, without שׁנת, as יוֺבֵל הִוא תִּהְיֶה לָכֶם Lev 25:10 a ram ('s horn blowing) shall it be to you; so vLev 25:11 vLev 25:12 vLev 25:15 vLev 25:28 vLev 25:30 vLev 25:31 vLev 25:33 (all H), Lev 27:18; Num 36:4 (both P).
