Hi all-
I have a question for anyone interested in discussing with me what Psalms 81:3-5 is actually referring to.
3 Blow up the trumpet in the new moon, in the time appointed, on our solemn feast day.
4 For this was a statute for Israel, and a law of the God of Jacob.
5 This he ordained in Joseph for a testimony, when he went out through the land of Egypt: where I heard a language that I understood not.
Psalms 81:3-5 (KJV)
The underlined phrases are the criteria that this event and activity must take place within.
The word 'trumpet' is the Hebrew word 'shofar' which is a ram's horn in distinction to the two silver trumpets outlined in Numbers 10 which were to be blown at the beginnings of their months and the holy convocations, but no mention was made concerning a ram's horn.
The phrase 'in the new moon' could seemingly be any new month that fits with the rest of the criteria.
The phrase 'in the time appointed' is translated in the KVJ from the Hebrew word (actually borrowed from Aramic) 'keseh' which other Bibles render to be 'in the full moon.'
The definition of 'full moon' seems unavoidable while the term in the KJV translation of 'in the appointed time' would still be technically correct although it does not give us the distinct advantage of identifying and restricting this 'appointed time' to mean that it must occur on an actual time when the moon would be full.
When was there any mention in the law of Moses concerning the feast days that a shofar was commanded to be blown on a full moon?
Passover and Trumpets both happened on the 14th or 15th of a month which would be full moons but no shofar trumpet was commanded to be blown, only the silver trumpets.
On the 10th day of the 7th month (Day of Atonement) there was a command for the Jubile Trumpet to be blown on the fiftieth year which does refer specifically to a ram's horn but there would not be a full moon on that day.
We cannot assume that this ordinance was later added by David in the Psalms for he states that this WAS an ordinance (already in place) WHEN Israel came out of Egypt.
Does anyone understand what feast day Psalms 81:3-5 is talking about that will fulfill all of the above criteria?
Blessings in Christ
