רֹאשׁ הַשָּׁנָה

rosh hashanah

pronounced rosh ha-sha-NAH

“Head of the year” — the later Jewish name for the new year observed on the first of Tishrei

also written: rosh hashanah, rosh hashana, rosh ha-shanah

In Scripture World English Bible

In the twenty-fifth year of our captivity, in the beginning of the year, in the tenth day of the month, in the fourteenth year after that the city was struck, in the same day, the hand of Yahweh was on me, and he brought me there.

Ezekiel 40:1 This is the Bible’s one lexical “head/beginning of the year” phrase; it does not yet function as the later festival title.

“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.

Leviticus 23:24 Torah appoints the first day of the seventh month as a rest, trumpet memorial, and holy convocation, without calling it Rosh HaShanah.
