Then you are to sound
The Hebrew word for "sound" is "ta'aviru," which implies a loud, clear proclamation. This act of sounding the horn is not merely a ritualistic gesture but a divine command that signifies the beginning of something sacred and transformative. In the context of ancient Israel, sound carried significant weight as a means of communication, especially in a time without modern technology. The sounding of the horn was a call to attention, a divine alarm that signaled the commencement of a holy observance.

the ram’s horn
The "ram’s horn," or "shofar" in Hebrew, is a significant instrument in Jewish tradition. It is not just a musical instrument but a spiritual tool used to awaken the conscience of the people. The shofar is traditionally made from the horn of a ram, which ties back to the account of Abraham and Isaac, where a ram was provided as a substitute sacrifice. This connection underscores themes of redemption and divine provision. The shofar's sound is meant to pierce the heart, calling the people to repentance and reflection.

loudly
The emphasis on sounding the horn "loudly" indicates the importance of the message being conveyed. It is a call that must be heard by all, leaving no room for ignorance or neglect. The loudness signifies urgency and the need for immediate attention and action. In a spiritual sense, it represents the clarity and power of God's call to His people, a call that demands a response.

in the seventh month
The "seventh month" in the Hebrew calendar is Tishrei, a month filled with significant religious observances, including Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur, and Sukkot. The number seven in the Bible often symbolizes completeness and perfection, reflecting the fullness of God's plan and the sacredness of time. This month is a period of introspection, repentance, and renewal, aligning with the themes of the Jubilee year.

on the tenth day of the month
The "tenth day" of Tishrei is Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement, the holiest day in the Jewish calendar. It is a day dedicated to fasting, prayer, and repentance. The specificity of the date underscores the precision of God's timing and the importance of obedience to His commands. It is a day when the people of Israel seek reconciliation with God, a time of spiritual cleansing and renewal.

on the Day of Atonement
The "Day of Atonement" is a profound day of reconciliation between God and His people. It is a time when the high priest would enter the Holy of Holies to offer sacrifices for the sins of the nation. This day foreshadows the ultimate atonement made by Jesus Christ, the High Priest of the New Covenant, who offered Himself as the perfect sacrifice for the sins of humanity. It is a reminder of God's mercy and the possibility of redemption.

you shall sound it throughout your land
The command to "sound it throughout your land" indicates that the message of the Jubilee is not just for a select few but for the entire nation. It is a call to unity and collective action, emphasizing the communal aspect of God's covenant with Israel. The sounding of the shofar throughout the land symbolizes the pervasive reach of God's grace and the call to holiness that extends to every corner of the community. It is a reminder that God's laws and promises are meant to permeate every aspect of life, bringing freedom and restoration to all.

(9) Cause the trumpet of the jubile to sound.--Better, cause the blast of the cornet to sound; literally, cause to resound the cornet of loud sound. According to the authorities during the second Temple, the cornets used on this occasion, like those of the Feast of Trumpets or New Year, were of rams' horns, they were straight, and had their mouth-piece covered with gold.

In the day of atonement shall ye make the trumpet sound.--Better, In the day of atonement shall ye cause the cornet to sound. On the close of the great Day of Atonement, when the Hebrews realised that they had peace of mind, that their heavenly Father had annulled their sins, and that they had become reunited to Him through His forgiving mercy, every Israelite was called upon to proclaim throughout the land, by nine blasts of the cornet, that he too had given the soil rest, that he had freed every encumbered family estate, and that he had given liberty to every slave, who was now to rejoin his kindred. Inasmuch as God has forgiven his debts, he also is to forgive his debtors.
