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 Traditional background — the later Days of Awe lie in the biblical calendar span from the first-day memorial to the Day of Atonement.

He has sent redemption to his people. He has ordained his covenant forever. His name is holy and awesome!

Psalm 111:9 Root component — nora describes the holy, awe-inspiring name of God; the later seasonal title is not present.
