The Feast of Trumpets is the first day of the seventh month, a memorial of blowing of trumpets.
You shall have a day of solemn rest, a memorial proclaimed with blast of trumpets.
On the first day of the seventh month Israel holds a holy convocation. No ordinary work is done. It is a memorial proclaimed with blast of trumpets, and an offering by fire. Later Israel calls the day Rosh Hashanah. The law’s name is the blowing of trumpets. The seventh month also holds the Day of Atonement and the Feast of Booths. The trumpet day opens that month. The church does not keep the calendar as covenant law. It hears the trumpet as the Lord’s call to assemble before Him.
- Numbers lists it with the appointed feasts, not as a private custom.
- The blast is a memorial. The text does not spell out every later tradition attached to it.
- Ten days later is the Day of Atonement. The trumpet comes before the blood of that day.
