Leviticus 23:24 Summary
[Leviticus 23:24 is a reminder that God wants us to take time to rest and focus on our relationship with Him. Just like the Israelites were commanded to rest on the first day of the seventh month, we can prioritize rest and worship in our own lives (see Exodus 20:11 and Hebrews 4:9-11). By doing so, we can reflect on God's deliverance and provision, just as the Israelites did. This helps us to trust and obey Him more fully, and to remember His love and care for us.]

Gill's Exposition on Leviticus 23:24
Speak unto the children of Israel,.... For all the people of Israel were concerned in the following precept, and obliged to observe it, even priests, Levites, Israelites, proselytes, and freed
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Leviticus 23:24
Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, In the seventh month, in the first day of the month, shall ye have a sabbath, a memorial of blowing of trumpets, an holy convocation. In the seventh month, in the first day of the month.
Matthew Poole's Commentary on Leviticus 23:24
A memorial of blowing of trumpets, i.e. solemnized with the blowing of trumpets by the priests; not in a common way, as they did every first day of every month, , but in an extraordinary manner, not only in Jerusalem, but in all the cities of Israel. This seems to have been instituted, 1. To solemnize the beginning of the new year, whereof as to civil matters, and particularly as to the jubilee, this was the first day; concerning which it was fit the people should be admonished, both to excite their thankfulness for God’ s blessing in the last year, and to direct them in the management of their civil affairs. 2. To put a special honour upon this month. For as the seventh day was the sabbath, and the seventh year was a sabbatical year; so God would have the seventh month to be a kind of sabbatical month, for the many sabbaths and solemn feasts which were observed in this more than in any other month. And by this sounding of the trumpets in its beginning, God would quicken and prepare them for the following sabbaths, as well that of atonement and humiliation for their sins, as those of thanksgiving for God’ s mercies.
Trapp's Commentary on Leviticus 23:24
Leviticus 23:24 Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, In the seventh month, in the first [day] of the month, shall ye have a sabbath, a memorial of blowing of trumpets, an holy convocation.Ver. 24. Of blowing of trumpets.] This feast signified the spiritual joy and gladness of the saints that are redeemed by Christ, all their life long.
Ellicott's Commentary on Leviticus 23:24
(24) A memorial of blowing of trumpets.—Literally, remembrance blowing, for which see Numbers 29:1, the only place in the Old Testament where this festival is named as “the day of blessing,” i.e., the trumpets. As the first of Ethanim, as the month is called in the Bible (1 Kings 8:2), or Tishri, as the Jews call it, in which this festival occurs, is the commencement of the civil new year, this festival was called “the Festival of New Year” ever since the time of the second Temple, and has been regarded as preparatory to the great day of Atonement, which is ten days later. The blowing of trumpets, therefore, which was the distinguishing feature of this festival, was designed to summon the Israelites to enter upon the work of sanctification, which will be accounted to them as a merit in the sight of God, and for which they are promised to be especially remembered before the Lord (Numbers 10:9-10). Hence its name, Remembrance blowing—the blowing of trumpets, which will make them to be remembered before the Lord. The synagogue, however, takes the name more in the sense of “reminding” God of the merits of the patriarchs and his covenant with them, and for this reason has appointed Genesis 21:1-34; Genesis 22:1-24, recording the birth and sacrifice of Isaac, as the lesson for this festival.
Adam Clarke's Commentary on Leviticus 23:24
Verse 24. A memorial of blowing of trumpets] This is generally called the feast of trumpets; and as it took place on the first day of the seventh month, Tisri, which answers to September, which month was the commencement of what was called the civil year, the feast probably had no other design than to celebrate the commencement of that year, if indeed such a distinction obtained among the ancient Jews. See Clarke on Exodus 12:2. Some think creation began at this time.
Cambridge Bible on Leviticus 23:24
24. blowing of trumpets] See on Leviticus 23:2-3.
Barnes' Notes on Leviticus 23:24
A sabbath - Here and in Leviticus 23:39 a word which should rather be rendered a sabbatical rest. Blowing of trumpets - Here and in Numbers 29:1, literally “shouting”.
Whedon's Commentary on Leviticus 23:24
THE FEAST OF , Leviticus 23:23-25. 24. Seventh month — The beginning of this month must be signalized in order to accord with that symbolism of number which distinguishes the seventh day and the seventh year.
