Feast of Trumpets
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Feast of Trumpets in the Torah (Hebrew Bible) is derived from the Hebrew: zichron teruah (זִכְרוֹן תְּרוּעָה "a memorial proclaimed with the blast of horns") see the Book of Leviticus 23:24 [1] that refers to the command to perform the ritual of the blowing of the shofar on the Jewish holiday of Rosh Hashanah.
In the days of the Jewish Temple, the shofar was accompanied by the blowing of two silver trumpets (which were also blown on other occasions): Book of Numbers 10:1-2; 10:10: "And the Lord spoke unto Moses, saying 'Make thee two trumpets of silver (שְׁתֵּי חֲצוֹצְרֹת כֶּסֶף); of beaten work shalt thou make them; and they shall be unto thee for the calling of the congregation...Also in the day of your gladness, and in your appointed seasons, and in your new moons, ye shall blow with the trumpets over your burnt-offerings, and over the sacrifices of your peace-offerings; and they shall be to you for a memorial before your God: I am the Lord your God.' [2]
Thus the name refers to:
- The Rosh Hashanah of Judaism.
Some modern Christian groups have also adopted a version of it as:
