Use and Pattern.
In the Pentateuch the use of the shofar is prescribed for the
announcement of the New Moon and solemn feasts (Num. x. 10; Ps.
lxxxi. 4), as also for proclaiming the year of release (Lev. xxv.
9). The first day of the seventh month (Tishri) is especially termed
"a memorial of blowing" (Lev. xxiii. 24), or "a day of blowing"
(Num. xxix. 1), the shofar; and the modern use of the instrument
survives especially in this connection. In earlier days it was
employed also in other religious ceremonials, as processions (II
Sam. v. 15; I Chron. xv. 28), or in the orchestra as an
accompaniment to the song of praise (Ps. xcviii. 6; comp. ib. xlvii.
5). More frequently it was used as the signal-horn of war, like the
silver trumpets mentioned in Num. x. 9 (see Josh. vi. 4; Judges iii.
27; vii. 16, 20; I Sam. xiii. 3).
