Leviticus 23:23-25 Festivals of Trumpets or blow your own horn!

 23The LORD also said to Moses, 24“Speak to the Israelites and say, ‘On the first day of the seventh month you are to have a day of rest, a sacred assembly announced by trumpet blasts.e 25You must not do any regular work, but you are to present an offering made by fire to the LORD.’ ”


“The fall festivals of Trumpets, Day of Atonement, and Tabernacles during the seventh month (September/October) were celebrated in conjunction with the harvest of grapes, figs, and olives.” (Rooker)


“The Trumpets called them to cease from servile work in order to worship.” (Morgan)


Yesterday my wife was told by her manager that she was being put on paid 14 day Covid leave because she was exposed by a meeting she had with a supervisor. She was to cease work and to go home.

Please pray for protection and health!


Our worship group at church has a person that plays the trumpet on occasion. It’s a blessing to hear him play!


Have you ever heard the idiom, “blow your own horn”?

It generally means to boast about your achievements and abilities. ('Blow your own trumpet' is an alternative form.)


Blessings, David
