זִכְרוֹן תְּרוּעָה

zikhron teruah

pronounced zikh-RON te-roo-AH

A remembrance or memorial of teruah — the wording Leviticus 23:24 gives the first day of the seventh month

also written: zikhron teruah

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.

Leviticus 23:24 The Torah's compact phrase leaves both remembrance and teruah open for later reflection

This day shall be to you for a memorial, and you shall keep it a feast to Yahweh: throughout your generations you shall keep it a feast by an ordinance forever.

Exodus 12:14 Root component — zikhron marks a day kept as a memorial before God, here at Passover rather than the seventh-month feast.
