Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, In the seventh month, in the first day of the month, shall ye have a sabbath, a memorial of blowing of trumpets, an holy convocation.in the seventh Nu 10:10 29:1-6 1Ch 15:28 2Ch 5:13 Ezr 3:6 Ps 81:1-4 98:6 Isa 27:13 1Co 15:52 1Th 4:16
a memorial Zichron terooah, here rendered `a memorial of blowing the trumpets' properly signifies a memorial of triumph or shouting for joy. This festival is generally called the feast of trumpets; and though the Scriptures have not expressly declared the reason of its celebration, yet, as it fell in the seventh month of the sacred year, which was the first of the civil year, that is, the month Tisri, answering to our September, the opinion very generally embraced by both Jews and Christians is, that it was a memorial of the creation of the world, at which `the sons of God shouted for joy,' (job 38:7); and which is supposed, not altogether without reason, to have been at this season of the year. The month Tisri was not only anciently, but still is, reckoned by the Jews the first month of the year; and the feast of tabernacles, kept in this month; was said to be, as it is correctly rendered in the margin, `at the revolution of the year,' (ex 34:22) importing, that at this season the year had revolved, and was beginning anew. So that this feast was the new year's day, on which the people rejoiced in a grateful remembrance of God's benefits, and implored his blessing for the future year. Le 25:9
