In The Bible (O.T.) Rosh Hashanah is called the "feast of Trumpets". God gave instructions to the Jewish people as they wandered in the wilderness before going into the Promised Land. The feast of trumpets consecrated the seventh month (Sept/Oct) as a sabbatical month. Can be found in Leviticus 23:23-25
