  1;  The offering at the feast of trumpets;
  7;  at the day of afflicting their souls;
 12;  and on the eight days of the feast of tabernacles.

 * the seventh.
   That is, the month Tisri, the seventh month of their
   ecclesiastical year, but the first of their civil year,
   answering to our September.  This, which was their new year's
   day, was a time of great festivity, and ushered in by the
   blowing of trumpets; whence it was also called the feast of
   blowing the trumpets.  In imitation of this Jewish festival,
   different nations began the new year with sacrifices and
   festivity.  The ancient Egyptians did so; and the Persians
   also celebrated their {nawee rooz,} or new year's day, which
   they held on the vernal equinox, and which "lasted ten days,
   during which all ranks seemed to participate in one general
   joy.  The rich sent presents to the poor; all were dressed in
   their holiday clothes; all kept open house; and religious
   processions, music, dancing, a species of theatrical
   exhibition, rustic sports, and other pastimes, presented a
   continued round of varied amusement.  Even the dead, and the
   ideal beings were not forgotten; rich viands being placed on
   the tops of houses and high towers, on the flavour of which
   the {Peris,} and spirits of their departed heroes and friends,
   were supposed to feast."  After the Mohammedan conquest of
   Persia, the celebration of this period sensibly declined, and
   at last totally ceased, till the time of Jelaladdin (about
   A.D. 1082), who, coming to the crown at the vernal equinox,
   re-established the ancient festival, which has ever since been
   celebrated with pomp and acclamations.

 * the first day of the month.
   The monthly sacrifices were regulated by the new moons; and it
   is probable that the solemn sacrifices were appointed by God,
   to prevent the idolatry which was usual among the heathen at
   this period; who expressed the most extravagant rejoicings on
   the first appearance of the new moon.  Moses, however, used
   the return of the moon only as one of the most natural and
   convenient measures of time; and appointed sacrifices to
   Jehovah, to prevent the Israelites from falling into the
   idolatries of their heathen neighbours.  In the serene climate
   of Arabia and Judea, its first faint crescent is, for the most
   part, visible to all.
