הכתב והקבלה — והעברת שופר תרועה... תעבירו שופר

Q — 'והעברת שופר תרועה' is awkward. If 'שופר' means the instrument, the natural construction would be 'והעברת תרועת שופר' (the sound *of* a shofar) — like 'הללוהו בתקע שופר.' To save the standard reading, commentators have to repoint and re-vocalize ('בַשופָר תרועה'). HaKtav offers a cleaner solution.

A — HaKtav VeHaKabbalah resolves it via a polysemy rule: many nouns in Tanakh refer to *both* the instrument and the sound it produces ('נר' = both the lamp and the flame in it). 'שופר' likewise refers to both the ram's horn and the clear, ringing sound it emits. The verse therefore means: 'and you shall pass through a *shofar-sound* of teruah' — a clear ringing sound, specifically the teruah kind (not tekiah or shevarim). Targum Yonatan's translation 'קל שופר' isn't an addition to the text but a faithful rendering of one of the word's senses. No emendation required.
