The Festival of Trumpets (p. 104), which appears here for the first time. The early Hebrew year (see on 16) began on what is now the seventh month; hence this is a New Year's festival, and it is useful also in marking the month in which fell both the Day of Atonement and Tents. It was on the 1st day of the 7th month that Ezra publicly read the Law (Nehemiah 8:2).
