ה שִׁעוּר הַשּׁוֹפָר כְּדֵי שֶׁיֹּאחֲזֶנּוּ בְּיָדוֹ וְיֵרָאֶה לְכָאן וּלְכָאן. נִסְדַּק לְאָרְכּוֹ פָּסוּל. לְרָחְבּוֹ אִם נִשְׁתַּיֵּר בּוֹ כַּשִּׁעוּר כָּשֵׁר וּכְאִלּוּ נִכְרַת מִמְּקוֹם הַסֶּדֶק. נִקַּב אִם סְתָמוֹ שֶׁלֹּא בְּמִינוֹ פָּסוּל. סְתָמוֹ בְּמִינוֹ אִם נִשְׁתַּיֵּר רֻבּוֹ שָׁלֵם וְלֹא עִכְּבוּ הַנְּקָבִים שֶׁנִּסְתְּמוּ אֶת הַתְּקִיעָה הֲרֵי זֶה כָּשֵׁר. קְדָחוֹ בְּזִכְרוּתוֹ כָּשֵׁר שֶׁמִּין בְּמִינוֹ אֵינוֹ חוֹצֵץ. דִּבֵּק שִׁבְרֵי שׁוֹפָרוֹת עַד שֶׁהִשְׁלִימוֹ לְאֶחָד פָּסוּל:
5 The [requisite] size of a shofar is [that it be long enough] that one hold it in one hand and it be seen from this [side] and that [side of his hand]. If it is cracked: Along its length, it is disqualified; along its width — if enough of it remained [intact to be] like the [requisite] size, it is fit, and it is as if it is cut off from the place of the crack. If it became perforated: If he filled [the holes] with [something] that is not its type, it is disqualified. If he filled it with its type — if most of it remained intact and the holes that were filled do not prevent the sound, it is surely fit. [If] he drilled its [bone that fills the horn, and flattened it instead of removing it], it is fit — for its own type (which is now doubled up inside it) does not separate. [If] one glued shofar shards until he fashioned them into one [whole shofar], it is disqualified.
