The Torah briefly mentions Rosh Hashanah in Leviticus 23 and Numbers 29, where the blowing of the Shofar is mentioned. Most of the information of Rosh Hashanah, its customs and laws and its significance, we know from the Oral Law (the Talmud). It is from the Oral Law, for example, that we learn that the world is judged on Rosh Hashanah.

∙ 13y agoThe Torah reading for the two days of Rosh Hashana consists of two contiguous
selections from parshas Vayerah. The first describes the birth of Isaac to Sarah
and Abraham, the domestic friction between Sarah and Hagar, and the temporary
out-casting of Hagar and Ishmael. The second describes the binding of Isaac.
If Rosh Hashana coincides with the Sabbath, then the afternoon reading is the first
aliyah of the next regular parsha, just as on every Sabbath. When that occurs on
Rosh Hashana, the next Parsha is always either Haazinu or V'Zos Habracha.
