Trumpets @ were of a great variety of forms, and were made of divers materials. Some were made of silver Numbers:10:2), and were used only by the priests in announcing the approach of festivals and in giving signals of war. Some were also made of rams' horns Joshua:6:8). They were blown at special festivals, and to herald the arrival of special seasons Leviticus:23:24Leviticus:25:9; 1Chronicles:15:24; 2Chronicals:29:27; Psalms:81:3Psalms:98:6). "Trumpets" are among the symbols used in the Book of Revelation Revelation:1:10Revelation:8:2). (See HORN.)
Trumpets, Feast of @ was celebrated at the beginning of the month Tisri, the first month of the civil year. It received its name from the circumstances that the trumpets usually blown at the commencement of each month were on that occasion blown with unusual solemnity Leviticus:23:23-25; Numbers:10:10Numbers:29:1-6). It was one of the seven days of holy convocation. The special design of this feast, which is described in these verses, is not known.
