Exegesis
The temporal clause bimshokh hayovel {בִּמְשֹׁךְ הַיֹּבֵל | bim-šōḵ ha-yō-vēl} ‘when the ram’s horn is drawn out’ signals the extended trumpet blast, after which hema yaalu bahar {הֵמָּה יַעֲלוּ בָהָר | hēm-māh ya-ʿă-lû bā-hār} ‘they will go up on the mountain,’ marking the shift to permitted ascent.
In context — Exodus 19:13
No hand is to touch him, for he shall surely be stoned or shot; whether beast or man, he shall not live . When the ram’s horn sounds long, then they may go up the mountain.
