This site's exposition

it is a day of blowing the trumpets

on Numbers 29:1-6

Leviticus 23:23-25 set this day apart with a memorial of blowing of trumpets and left the offerings unnamed. Numbers supplies them, and verse 6 stacks three layers on the one day, the bullock, ram and seven lambs given here, the new moon offering of Numbers 28:11-15, and the continual burnt offering. Neither book says what the trumpets are for. Later Jewish reckoning keeps the first of the seventh month as the new year, while Exodus 12:2 sets the year's first month in the spring.

If we perform family-worship, we must not think that this will excuse us from our secret devotions; nor that on the days we go to church we need not worship God alone and with our families; but we should always abound in the work of the Lord.
