Names and origins

The term "Rosh Hashanah" does not appear in the Torah. Leviticus 23:24 refers to the festival of the first day of the seventh month as "Zicaron Terua" ("a memorial with the blowing of horns"). Numbers 29:1 calls the festival Yom Terua, ("Day [of] blowing [the horn]") and symbolizes a number of subjects, such as the Binding of Isaac and the animal sacrifices that were to be performed.[7][8] (In Ezekiel 40:1 there is a general reference to the time of Yom Kippur as the "beginning of the year",[7] but it is not referring specifically to the holiday of Rosh Hashanah.)
