Overview
The Feast of Trumpets occurred on the first day of Tishri (September/October) and was observed as a day of rest with trumpet fanfares. It served as a sacred assembly where the Israelites gathered to remember God's sovereignty and anticipate His future redemptive work.

"You shall offer a burnt offering as a pleasing aroma to the Lord: one bull from the herd, one ram, and seven male lambs a year old without defect" (Numbers 29:2, ESV).
