“And in the seventh month, on the first day of the month, ye shall have an holy convocation; ye shall do no servile work: it is a day of blowing the trumpets unto you.”
And in the seventh month, on the first day of the month, ye shall have an holy convocation; ye shall do no servile work: it is a day of blowing the trumpets unto you — The seventh month (Tishri) opens with a holy assembly marked by trumpet blasts (yom teruah). The shofar blowing signals the community to gather and remember the covenant. The second generation, entering the land in autumn (based on Joshua 3-5), will immediately observe this festival.
