ISRAEL WILL BE REDEEMED
WITH THE RAM’S HORN
Midrash Rabbah - Genesis 56:9
AND ABRAHAM LIFTED UP HIS EYES, AND LOOKED, AND BEHOLD BEHIND HIM (AHAR) A RAM (Leviticus 22:13). What does AHAR mean?
Said R. Judan: After all that happened, Israel still fall into the clutches of sin and [in consequence] become the victims of persecution; yet they will be ultimately redeemed by the ram's horn, as it says, And the Lord God will blow the horn, etc. (Zechariah 9:14).
