Leviticus 25:9
Context25:9 You must sound loud horn blasts 4 – in the seventh month, on the tenth day of the month, on the Day of Atonement – you must sound the horn in your entire land.
1 tn Heb “Surely the tenth day” or perhaps “Precisely the tenth day.” The Hebrew adverbial particle אַךְ (’akh) is left untranslated by most recent English versions; cf. however NASB “On exactly the tenth day.”
2 sn See the description of this day and its regulations in Lev 16 and the notes there.
3 tn Heb “you shall humble your souls.” See the note on Lev 16:29 above.
4 sn On the “loud horn blasts” see the note on Lev 23:24, but unlike the language there, the Hebrew term for “horn” (שׁוֹפָר, shofar) actually appears here in this verse (twice).
