Leviticus 23:23-25 - Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary

Bible Comments

This feast of trumpets is the sixth in number of the holy days appointed in this chapter. It should seem to have been at the time which the Jews called their new year. But the spiritual sense contained in it is very plain. It represents the gospel call, which the prophet Isaiah, in after ages, in allusion to the conversion of the nations, expressly marked by this name, the blowing of the great trumpet when they should come who were ready to perish. Isaiah 27:13. Reader! have you heard this joyful sound, and do you keep this spiritual feast? Mark what is said of it. Psalms 89:15.

Leviticus 23:23-25

23 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

24 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, an holy convocation.

25 Ye shall do no servile work therein: but ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto the LORD.
