We read from many, confusing information concerning
the Fall Feats, in particular the day of sounding the Trumpet, known as Yom
Teruah.
Today I would like to go to the scriptures end see what we can learn, and if we come to the same conclusion of those “many”.

The day of Yom Teruah is to remind us what will be in the day of the wrath of Yehovah, a day still to come. A day to remind us that YOM KIPPUR lays before us, only 10 days later, before the Great Feast of Succoth, the Feast of ingathering.

Some of them (Judaism) say it is the remembrance of the creation of the world, based on the fact that if we read the word “tishrei” backward we have the word “reishit” meaning beginning. To this we need to remember that Yehovah never call month by name, but by their position in his calendar, 1st, 2nd, 3rd,………. So the month called in Judaism “tishrei” is the 7th month.
(Lev 23:23 [YLT])

(Lev 23:23 [YLT])
And Yehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,
(Lev 23:24 [YLT])
`Speak unto the
sons of Israel, saying, In the seventh
month, on the first of the month,
ye have a sabbath, a memorial of shouting, a holy convocation;
« a
memorial of shouting » What does this mean ?

It is interesting that the majority of people today when mentioning Yom Teruah, think as a “shout of joy”.
We will investigate the TaNaHk to see if we can glean more understanding concerning this particular day.
First I want to say that as it is with the “Spring Feast” so it is with the “Fall Feast”. The first start with Passover (Feats of Unleavened Bread) and find the conclusion on Shavuot!
The Fall Feast starts on the first of the seventh month and conclude on the last day of Chag Succoth the last great day.

Before we look deeper, let us remember that the Spring Feats have to do with grain Harvest, while the Fall Feats have to do with the harvest of different kind of fruits (figs, pomegranate, olive……)
This is very important as we will see later.
Now let us have a look at some of the verses:
JOY:
(Job 33:26 [KJV])
Now let us have a look at some of the verses:
JOY:
(Job 33:26 [KJV])
He shall pray
unto God, and he will be favourable unto him: and he shall see his face with joy (Teruah): for he will render unto man his righteousness.
(Ps 27:6 [KJV])
And now shall
mine head be lifted up above mine enemies round about me: therefore will I
offer in his tabernacle sacrifices of joy
(Teruah); I will sing, yea, I will sing praises
unto the LORD.
(Job 8:21 [KJV])
Till he fill
thy mouth with laughing, and thy lips with rejoicing (Teruah).
(Ps 33:1 [NRKJV])
Rejoice in יהוה,
O ye righteous: for praise is comely for the upright.
(Ps 33:2 [NRKJV])
Praise יהוה
with harp: sing unto him with the psaltery and an instrument of ten strings.
(Ps 33:3 [NRKJV])
Sing unto him a
new song; play skilfully with a loud
noise (Teruah).
(Ps 89:15 [NRKJV])
Blessed is the
people that know the joyful sound
(Teruah): they shall walk, O יהוה, in the light
of thy countenance.
Problem in Psalm 89 :15 is that the
word « joyful » do not appear in the Hebrew text. Young literal
translation give it this way:
(Ps 89:15 [YLT])
(Ps 89:15 [YLT])
O the happiness
of the people knowing the shout
(Teruah), O Yehovah, in the light of Thy face
they walk habitually.
This verse renders the Hebrew translation correctly.

JUBILE
(Lev 25:8 [KJV])
(Lev 25:8 [KJV])
And thou shalt
number seven sabbaths of years unto thee, seven times seven years; and the
space of the seven sabbaths of years shall be unto thee forty and nine years.
(Lev 25:9 [KJV])
Then shalt thou
cause the trumpet of the jubile
(Teruah) to sound on the tenth day of the seventh month, in the day of
atonement shall ye make the trumpet sound throughout all your land.
(Lev 25:10 [KJV])
And ye shall
hallow the fiftieth year, and proclaim liberty throughout all the land unto all the inhabitants
thereof: it shall be a jubile
(Yowbel) unto you; and ye shall return every man
unto his possession, and ye shall return every man unto his family.
Once again we see that the King James use its own view and do not translate the Hebrew properly (verse 9).
The Young Literal translation* do not make the mistake:
*I do not promote the Young literal
translation, the purpose of this paper is to demonstrate that we can be mislead
by translations.
(Lev 25:8 [YLT])
`And thou hast numbered to thee seven sabbaths of years, seven years seven times, and the days of the seven sabbaths of years have been to thee nine and forty years,
(Lev 25:9 [YLT])
and thou hast
caused a trumpet of shouting
(Teruah) to pass over in the seventh month, in
the tenth of the month; in the day of the atonements ye do cause a trumpet to
pass over through all your land;
(Lev 25:10 [YLT])
and ye have
hallowed the year, the fiftieth year; and ye have proclaimed liberty in the
land to all its inhabitants; a jubilee it is to you; and ye have turned back
each unto his possession; yea, each unto his family ye do turn back.
ALOUD :
(Ezra 3:10 [NRKJV])
And when the builders laid the foundation of the temple of יהוה, they set the priests in their
apparel with trumpets, and the Levites the sons of Asaph with cymbals, to
praise יהוה, after the
ordinance of David king of Israel.
(Ezra 3:11 [NRKJV])
And they sang together by course in praising and giving thanks unto יהוה; because he is good, for his
mercy endureth for ever toward Israel. And all the people shouted with a great
shout, when they praised יהוה, because the
foundation of the house of יהוה was laid.
(Ezra 3:12 [NRKJV])
But many of the priests and Levites and chief of the fathers, who were
ancient men, that had seen the first house, when the foundation of this house
was laid before their eyes, wept with a loud voice; and many shouted (Teruahà aloud for joy (shimchah):
(Ezra 3:13 [NRKJV])
So that the people could not discern the noise of the shout (Teruah) of joy (shimchah) from the
noise of the weeping of the people: for the people shouted with a loud shout (Teruah), and the
noise was heard afar off.
We see that depending on context, indeed the word « teruah » can be a shout of joy!

(2Sam 6:14 [NRKJV])
And David danced before יהוה with all his
might; and David was girded with a linen ephod.
(2Sam 6:15 [NRKJV])
So David and all the house of Israel brought up the ark of יהוה with shouting (Teruah), and with
the sound of the trumpet.
(2Sam 6:16 [NRKJV])
And as the ark of יהוה came into
the city of David, Michal Saul's daughter looked through a window, and saw king
David leaping and dancing before יהוה; and she despised him in her heart.
(2Sam 6:17 [NRKJV])
And they brought in the ark of יהוה, and set it in his place, in the
midst of the tabernacle that David had pitched for it: and David offered burnt
offerings and peace offerings before יהוה.
Here again we see King david shouting
(teruah)/ruah) in a context of Joy!
In conclusion, the context will determine how the word « teruah) is used.
We now keep our investigation with the different form
of translation for « TERUAH » to see if the First of the 7th
month is also a day of “shouting” for joy.
(Num 10:1 [NRKJV])
And יהוה spake unto
Moses, saying,
(Num 10:2 [NRKJV])
Make thee two trumpets of silver; of a whole piece shalt thou make
them: that thou mayest use them for the calling of the assembly, and for the
journeying of the camps.
(Num 10:3 [NRKJV])
And when they shall blow with them, all the assembly shall assemble
themselves to thee at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.
(Num 10:4 [NRKJV])
And if they blow but with one trumpet, then the princes, which are
heads of the thousands of Israel, shall gather themselves unto thee.
(Num 10:5 [NRKJV])
When ye blow an alarm, then the camps that lie on the east parts shall
go forward.
(Num 10:6 [NRKJV])
When ye blow an alarm the second time, then the camps that lie on the
south side shall take their journey: they shall blow an alarm (Teruah) for their
journeys.
(Num 10:7 [NRKJV])
But when the congregation is to be gathered together, ye shall blow, but ye
shall not sound an alarm (teruah).
(Num 10:8 [NRKJV])
And the sons of Aaron, the priests, shall blow with the trumpets; and
they shall be to you for an ordinance for ever throughout your generations.
(Num 10:9 [NRKJV])
And if ye go to war in your land against the enemy that oppresseth you,
then ye shall blow an alarm (Teruah) with the trumpets; and ye shall
be remembered before יהוה your Elohim,
and ye shall be saved from your enemies.
(Num 10:10 [NRKJV])
Also in the
day of your gladness, and in your solemn days, and in the beginnings of your months (rosh
chodesh), ye shall blow with the trumpets (chatzorah) over your burnt offerings, and
over the sacrifices of your peace offerings; that they may be to you for a memorial (zikron) before your
Elohim: I am יהוה your Elohim.
The verse 10 do not mention the sound of an alarm (teruah) but simply tells us that in very “chodesh », we blow the Trumpet. It doesn’t refers to the particular month of Yom Teruah which also occurs on the First of the 7th month.
What we read is that this sound of alarm (Teruah), is mentioned for war or battle. We should remember this fact.

Now let us inspect the situation of war:
(Jer 4:19 [NRKJV])
My bowels, my bowels! I am pained at my very heart; my heart maketh a
noise in me; I cannot hold my peace, because thou hast heard, O my soul, the
sound of the trumpet, the alarm (teruah) of war.
(Jer 4:20 [NRKJV])
Destruction upon destruction is cried; for the whole land is spoiled:
suddenly are my tents spoiled, and my curtains in a moment.
(Jer 4:21 [NRKJV])
How long shall I see the standard, and hear the sound of the trumpet?
(Jer 4:22 [NRKJV])
For my people
is foolish, they have not known me; they are sottish children, and
they have none understanding: they are
wise to do evil, but to do good they have no knowledge.
(Jer 4:23 [NRKJV])
I beheld the earth, and, lo, it was without form, and void; and the
heavens, and they had no light.
ANOTER CONTEXT WITH AMMON and EDOM
(Jer 49:1 [NRKJV])
Concerning the Ammonites, thus saith יהוה; Hath Israel no sons? hath he no
heir? why then doth their king inherit Gad, and his people dwell in his cities?
(Jer 49:2 [NRKJV])
Therefore, behold, the days
come, saith יהוה, that I will cause an
alarm (Teruah) of war to be heard in Rabbah of the Ammonites; and it shall
be a desolate heap, and her daughters shall be burned with fire: then shall
Israel be heir unto them that were his heirs, saith יהוה.
(Jer 49:3 [NRKJV])
Howl, O Heshbon, for Ai is spoiled: cry, ye daughters of Rabbah, gird
you with sackcloth; lament, and run to and fro by the hedges; for their king
shall go into captivity, and his priests and his princes together.
(Jer 49:4 [NRKJV])
Wherefore gloriest thou in the valleys, thy flowing valley, O
backsliding daughter? that trusted in her treasures, saying, Who shall come
unto me?
(Jer 49:5 [NRKJV])
Behold, I
will bring a fear upon thee, saith the Master יהוה of hosts, from all those that be about
thee; and ye shall be driven out every man right forth; and none shall gather
up him that wandereth.
(Jer 49:6 [NRKJV])
And afterward I will bring again the captivity of the children of
Ammon, saith יהוה.
(Jer 49:7 [NRKJV])
Concerning Edom, thus saith יהוה of hosts; Is wisdom no more in Teman? is counsel
perished from the prudent? is their wisdom vanished?
(Jer 49:8 [NRKJV])
Flee ye, turn back, dwell deep, O inhabitants of Dedan; for I will bring the calamity of Esau
upon him, the time that I will visit him.
NOW WE SHOULD READ the word of the prophet
Zephanayah very carfully :
(Zeph 1:1 [NRKJV])
The word of יהוה which came
unto Zephaniah the son of Cushi, the son of Gedaliah, the son of Amariah, the son of
Hizkiah, in the days of Josiah the son
of Amon, king of Judah.
(Zeph 1:2 [NRKJV])
I will
utterly consume all things from off the land, saith יהוה.
(Zeph 1:3 [NRKJV])
I will consume man and beast; I will consume the fowls of the heaven,
and the fishes of the sea, and the stumblingblocks with the wicked; and I will
cut off man from off the land, saith יהוה.
CONTEXT :
(Zeph 1:4 [NRKJV])
I will also
stretch out mine hand upon Judah, and upon all the inhabitants of Jerusalem;
and I will cut off the remnant of Baal from this place, and the name of the
Chemarims with the priests;
(Zeph 1:5 [NRKJV])
And them that worship the host of heaven upon the housetops; and them
that worship and that swear by יהוה, and that
swear by Malcham*;

the princes, and the king's children, and all such as are clothed with strange

down; all they that bear silver are cut off.
(Zeph 1:12 [NRKJV])

with candles, and punish the men that are settled on their lees: that say in
their heart, יהוה will not do
good, neither will he do evil.
(Zeph 1:13 [NRKJV])

desolation: they shall also build houses, but not inhabit them; and they shall
plant vineyards, but not drink the wine thereof.
(Zeph 1:14 [NRKJV])
The great day of יהוה is near, it
is near, and hasteth greatly, even the voice of the day of יהוה: the mighty man shall cry there
bitterly.
(Zeph 1:15 [NRKJV])
That day is a day of wrath, a day of trouble and distress, a day of
wasteness and desolation, a day of darkness and gloominess, a day of clouds and
thick darkness,
(Zeph 1:16 [NRKJV])
A day (Yom) of the
trumpet (Shophar) and alarm (Teruah) against the
fenced cities, and against the high towers.
(Zeph 1:17 [NRKJV])

because they have sinned against יהוה: and their blood shall be poured out as dust, and
their flesh as the dung.

THE TIME OF YA’ACOV TROUBLE
(Jer 30:1 [NRKJV])
The word that came to Jeremiah from יהוה, saying,
(Jer 30:2 [NRKJV])
Thus speaketh יהוה Elohim of
Israel, saying, Write thee all the words that I have spoken unto thee in a
book.
(Jer 30:3 [NRKJV])
For, lo, the days come, saith יהוה, that I will bring again the
captivity of my people Israel and Judah, saith יהוה: and I will cause them to return
to the land that I gave to their fathers, and they shall possess it.
(Jer 30:4 [NRKJV])
And these are the words that יהוה spake concerning Israel and concerning Judah.
(Jer 30:5 [NRKJV])
For thus saith יהוה; We have
heard a voice of trembling, of fear, and not of peace.
(Jer 30:6 [NRKJV])
Ask ye now, and see whether a man doth travail with child? wherefore do
I see every man with his hands on his loins, as a woman in travail, and all
faces are turned into paleness?
(Jer 30:7 [NRKJV])
Alas! for that day is great, so
that none is like it: it is even the time of Jacob's trouble (tsarah); but he
shall be saved out of it.
(Jer 30:8 [NRKJV])
For it shall
come to pass in that day, saith יהוה of hosts, that I will break his yoke from off thy
neck, and will burst thy bonds, and strangers shall no more serve themselves of
him:
(Jer 30:9 [NRKJV])
But they shall serve יהוה their
Elohim, and David their king, whom I will raise up unto them.
Let us search more in the TaNaHk :

path: and when they fall upon the sword, they shall not be wounded.

Woe unto you that desire the day of יהוה! to what end is it for you? the day of יהוה is darkness, and not light.
(Amos 5:19 [NRKJV])
As if a man did flee from a lion, and a bear met him; or went into the
house, and leaned his hand on the wall, and a serpent bit him.
(Amos 5:20 [NRKJV])
Shall not the
day of יהוה be darkness,
and not light? even very dark, and no brightness in it?
(Mal 3:1 [NRKJV])
Behold, I will send my messenger, and he shall prepare the way before
me: and the Master, whom ye seek, shall suddenly come to this temple, even the
messenger of the covenant, whom ye delight in: behold, he shall come, saith יהוה of hosts.
(Mal 3:2 [NRKJV])
But who may
abide the day of his coming? and who shall stand when he appeareth? for he is
like a refiner's fire, and like fullers' soap:
(Mal 3:3 [NRKJV])
And he shall sit as a refiner and purifer of silver: and he shall
purify the sons of Levi, and purge them as gold and silver, that they may offer
unto יהוה an offering
in righteousness.
(Mal 3:4 [NRKJV])
Then shall the offering of Judah and Jerusalem be pleasant unto יהוה, as in the days of old, and as in
former years.
(Mal 3:5 [NRKJV])
And I will
come near to you to judgment; and I will be a swift witness against
the sorcerers, and against the adulterers, and against false swearers, and
against those that oppress the hireling in his wages, the widow, and the
fatherless, and that turn aside the stranger from his right, and fear not me,
saith יהוה of hosts.
(Mal 3:6 [NRKJV])
For I am יהוה, I change
not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed.
CONCLUSION :
(Lev
23:23 [YLT])
And Yehovah
speaketh unto Moses, saying,
(Lev 23:24 [YLT])
`Speak unto the sons of Israel, saying, In the seventh month, on the
first of the month, ye have a sabbathown, a memorial (ZIKRON) of shouting (TERUAH), a holy
convocation;
The day of Yom Teruah is to remind us what
will be in the day of the wrath of Yehovah, a day still to come. A day to
remind us that YOM KIPPUR lays before us, only 10 days later, before the Great
Feast of Succoth, the Feast of ingathering.
In our next study we will see how and why Yom
Teruah is directly connected to Yom Kippur, the day of Coronation of the King and the day of judgment and how it is relevant for us
today.
