In Scripture World English Bible

“Speak to the children of Israel, saying, ‘In the seventh month, on the first day of the month, shall be a solemn rest to you, a memorial of blowing of trumpets, a holy convocation. You shall do no regular work; and you shall offer an offering made by fire to Yahweh.’” Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, “However on the tenth day of this seventh month is the day of atonement: it shall be a holy convocation to you, and you shall afflict yourselves; and you shall offer an offering made by fire to Yahweh.

Leviticus 23:24-27 Biblical calendar frame — the later Ten Days of Repentance lie between the first-day memorial and the Day of Atonement on the tenth.

Seek Yahweh while he may be found; call you on him while he is near: let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts; and let him return to Yahweh, and he will have mercy on him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon.

Isaiah 55:6-7 Same-root call — shuv, ‘return,’ supplies the biblical movement later named teshuvah.
