KJV Leviticus 23:24 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.
NIV Leviticus 23:24 “Say to the Israelites: ‘On the first day of the seventh month you are to have a day of rest, a sacred assembly commemorated with trumpet blasts.
And, for you ‘we know not the day nor hour’ folks, Yom Teruah-of the seven Festivals (or Moedim)-was a day ushered in by the sighting of the new moon, which we do NOT KNOW THE DAY NOR HOUR it will come, and was considered such by Israelites of that time.
The term “Rosh Hashanah” does not appear in the Torah, but is used in the Hebrew Bible in Ezekiel 40:1 in general reference to the “beginning of the year.”[6] Leviticus 23:24 refers to the festival of the first day of the seventh month as “Zicaron Terua” (“a memorial with the blowing of horns”).
Numbers 29:1 calls the festival Yom Terua, (“Day of blowing the horn”) and defines the nature of animal sacrifices that were to be performed.[6][7]
The Hebrew Bible defines Rosh Hashanah as a one-day observance, and since days in the Hebrew calendar begin at sundown, the beginning of Rosh Hashanah is at sundown at the end of 29 Elul.
The rules of the Hebrew calendar are designed such that the first day of Rosh Hashanah will never occur on the first, fourth, or sixth days of the Jewish week[8] (ie Sunday, Wednesday or Friday)
