A Signal of Dependence
Commentators explain that the trumpet blast was more than a military signal; it was a profound act of faith. By sounding the alarm, Israel was publicly declaring their dependence on God's power for victory, not their own military might. John Gill suggests the jarring sound was intended to humble their hearts, leading them to repentance and prayer before battle.
