The first day of Tishrei is celebrated as Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year. Historically, this was a time of spiritual renewal and reflection. The Hebrew word for "month" is "chodesh," which is related to "chadash," meaning "new." This connection emphasizes the theme of new beginnings and the opportunity for repentance and renewal.<p><b>you are to hold a sacred assembly</b><br />The term "sacred assembly" comes from the Hebrew "miqra qodesh," indicating a holy convocation or gathering. This was a time set apart for the community to come together in worship and reflection. The sacred assembly underscores the importance of communal worship and the collective seeking of God's presence. It is a reminder of the unity and shared faith of the Israelites, as well as the importance of setting aside time for God.<p><b>you must not do any regular work</b><br />This command highlights the sanctity of the day. The prohibition against regular work, or "melachah," emphasizes the need to focus on spiritual matters rather than daily labor. It is a call to rest and to dedicate the day to God, reflecting the principle of Sabbath rest found throughout Scripture. This rest is not merely physical but also spiritual, allowing believers to realign their priorities and focus on their relationship with God.<p><b>This is a day for you to sound the trumpets</b><br />The sounding of the trumpets, or "shofarot," is a central element of this observance. The shofar, typically made from a ram's horn, was used in ancient Israel for various purposes, including calling the community to worship, signaling the start of festivals, and as a call to repentance. The sound of the shofar is a powerful reminder of God's sovereignty and the call to awaken spiritually. It serves as a call to introspection and a reminder of the need for repentance and renewal before God. The shofar's blast is both a celebration of God's kingship and a call to prepare for the coming Day of Atonement.<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/numbers/29.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div><span class="cmt_sub_title">Chapter 29:1</span>. -
