In the seventh:
"Also in the dayª of your gladness,ª and in your solemn days,ª and in the beginningsª of your months,ª ye shall blowª ° with the trumpetsª over¹ your burnt offerings,ª and over¹ the sacrificesª of your peace offerings;ª that they may be¹ to you for a memorialª beforeª your God:ª I¹ [am] the LORDª your God.ª" {Num 10:10} + "And in the seventhª month,ª on the firstª [day] of the month,ª ye shall have¹ an holyª convocation;ª ye shall doª ° no¹ ¹ servileª work:ª it is¹ a dayª of blowing² the trumpets¹ unto you. ... Beside¹ ¹ the burnt offeringª of the month,ª and his meat offering,ª and the dailyª burnt offering,ª and his meat offering,ª and their drink offerings,ª according unto their manner,ª for a sweetª savour,ª a sacrifice made by fireª unto the LORD.ª" {Num 29:1-6} + "Thus all¹ Israelª brought upª °¹ the arkª of the covenantª of the LORDª with shouting,ª and with soundª of the cornet,ª and with trumpets,ª and with cymbals,ª making a noiseª ° with psalteriesª and harps.ª" {1Ch 15:28} + "It came even to pass,¹ as the trumpetersª °° and singersª ° [were] as one,ª to make oneª soundª to be heardª ° in praisingª ° and thankingª ° the LORD;ª and when they lifted upª ° [their] voiceª with the trumpetsª and cymbalsª and instrumentsª of musick,ª and praisedª ° the LORD,ª [saying], For¹ [he is] good;ª for¹ his mercyª [endureth] for ever:ª that [then] the houseª was filledª ° with a cloud,ª [even] the houseª of the LORD;ª" {2Ch 5:13} + "From the first² dayª ¹ ¹ of the seventhª monthª beganª ° they to offerª ° burnt offeringsª unto the LORD.ª But the foundationª ° of the templeª of the LORDª was not¹ [yet] laid.² °" {Ezr 3:6} + "[[To the chief Musicianª ° upon¹ Gittith,ª [A Psalm] of Asaph.]]ª Sing aloudª ° unto Godª our strength:ª make a joyful noiseª ° unto the Godª of Jacob.ª ...

a memorial:
Zichron terooâh, here rendered "a memorial of blowing the trumpets" properly signifies a memorial of triumph or shouting for joy. This festival is generally called the feast of trumpets; and, though the Scriptures have not expressly declared the reason of its celebration, yet, as it fell in the seventh month of the sacred year, which was the first of the civil year, that is, the month Tisri, answering to our September, the opinion very generally embraced by both Jews and Christians is, that it was a memorial of the creation of the world, at which "the sons of God shouted for joy," ("When the morningª starsª sangª ° together,ª and all¹ the sonsª of Godª shouted² ° for joy?¹" {Job 38:7}); and which is supposed, not altogether without reason, to have been at this season of the year. The month Tisri was not only anciently, but still is, reckoned by the Jews the first month of the year; and the feast of tabernacles, kept in this month, was said to be, as it is correctly rendered in the margin, "at the revolution of the year," ("And thou shalt observeª ° the feastª of weeks,ª of the firstfruitsª of wheatª harvest,ª and the feastª of ingatheringª at the year'sª end.ª" {Exd 34:22}); importing, that at this season the year had revolved, and was beginning anew. So that this feast was the new year's day, on which the people rejoiced in a grateful remembrance of God's benefits, and implored his blessing for the future year. "Then shalt thou cause the trumpetª of the jubileª to soundª ° on the tenthª [day] of the seventhª month,ª in the dayª of atonementª shall ye make the trumpetª soundª ° throughout all¹ your land.ª" {Lev 25:9}
