The seventh month in the Hebrew calendar year is known as Tishri and is in the autumn (September-October).1 This was a very important Jewish religious month.2 It included the festival of trumpets (Leviticus 23:23–25), the Day of Atonement (Leviticus 16:1–34; Leviticus 23:26–32) and the festival of booths/tabernacles (Leviticus 23:33–44).
1 When the seventh month came, and the children of Israel were in the towns, the people gathered as one man to Jerusalem.
