Teruah - blowing/shouting - one long blast
Barnes commentary:
Blowing of trumpets - Here and in Num 29:1, literally shouting. There is no mention of trumpets in the Hebrew text of the Law in connection with the day. However, there is no reason to doubt the tradition that the day was distinguished by a general blowing of trumpets throughout the land, and that the kind of trumpet generally used for the purpose was the curved horn of an animal or a cornet of metal, such as was used at Sinai Exo 19:16, and on the Day of Jubilee Lev 25:9. It must have differed in this respect from the ordinary festival of the New moon when the long straight trumpet of the temple alone was blown (Num 10:2; Exo 25:23).
Keil & Delitzsch Commentary:
Lev 23:23-25 -
On the first day of the seventh month there was to be shabbathon, rest, i.e., a day of rest (see Exo 16:23), a memorial of blowing of trumpets, a holy convocation, the suspension of laborious work, and the offering of a firing for Yahweh, which are still more minutely described in the calendar of festal sacrifices in Num 29:2-6. úÌøåÌòä(teruah), a joyful noise, from øåÌò(ruah) to make a noise, is used in Lev 23:24 for ùÑåôø úÌøåÌòä(shofar teruah), a blast of trumpets. On this day the shophar was to be blown, a blast of trumpets to be appointed for a memorial before Yahweh (Num 10:10), i.e., to call the congregation into remembrance before Yahweh, that He might turn towards it His favour and grace (see at Exo 28:12, Exo 28:29; Exo 30:16); and from this the feast-day is called the day of the trumpet-blast (Num 19:1). Shophar, a trumpet, was a large horn which produced a dull, far-reaching tone.
(Note: The word úÌøåÌòä(teruah) is also used in Num 10:5-6 to denote the blowing with the silver trumpets; but there seems to be no ground for supposing these trumpets to be intended here, not only because of the analogy between the seventh day of the new moon as a jubilee day and the jubilee year (Lev 25:9-10), but also because the silver trumpets are assigned to a different purpose in Num 10:2-10, and their use is restricted to the blowing at the offering of the burnt-offerings on the feast-days and new moons. To this we have to add the Jewish tradition, which favours with perfect unanimity the practice of blowing with horns (the horns of animals).)
