Feast of Trumpets - Rosh haShanah 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. (Numbers 29:1) On the first day of the seventh month you shall have a holy convocation—a day of blowing of trumpets, in which no servile work shall be done.
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 {Shofars}, an holy convocation. (Leviticus 23:24) The kind of trumpets and their use are referred to in (Numbers 10:1-10). They were silver and there were two of them. The blowing was not throughout all Israel, but only over the sacrifices at the tabernacle.
On Rosh haShanah, this was different.
The Shofar is the primary
trumpet!
According to
Leviticus 23:24
and
Numbers 29,
Rosh HaShanah is the day of the blowing of the trumpets.
The
original name is Yom (Day) Teruah (The staccato sound of the horn, which
also means “Shout”). According to the Mishnah (Rosh
HaShanah 16a, 3:3), the trumpet used for this purpose is
the ram's
horn, not trumpets made of metal as in
Numbers 10.
On Rosh HaShanah,
Today, since the temple does not exist, the use of
the silver trumpet
is almost unknown. In its place, the Yemenite horn is used
in many congregations as a call to worship. The only evidence we
can present that God honors its use is that He visits us with His
presence when the Yemenite Shofars are blown! |
