“Then shalt thou cause the trumpet of the jubile to sound on the tenth day of the seventh month, in the day of atonement shall ye make the trumpet sound throughout all your land.”
Then have the trumpet sounded everywhere on the tenth day of the seventh month; on the Day of Atonement sound the trumpet throughout your land. The Jubilee is proclaimed on Yom Kippur — the Day of Atonement — with the trumpet blast throughout the land. The Jubilee that restores economic freedom begins on the day that restores covenant cleanness: the community that has been atoned for on the Day of Atonement is ready to receive the Jubilee's liberation. The trumpet of the Day of Atonement proclaims the Jubilee — both sounds call the community to freedom from what has burdened them.
