A holy day for the Israelites that marked the beginning of the fall feasts. It was a day of rest when no regular work was done. During this festival, the Israelites sounded trumpets to call for a time of remembrance, reflection, and preparation for the upcoming Day of Atonement. The festival was a time to remember God’s covenant with them, particularly the agreement made at Mount Sinai (Leviticus 23:23–25).
