תּלמוד אויף במדבר 10:5

⁶⁶Sifra Emor Parashah 11(9), Sifry Num. 73.“From where that there are three sets of three sounds each? The verse says, a day of sound⁶⁷Num. 29:1, a remembrance of sound⁶⁸Lev. 23:24., shofar of sound⁶⁹Lev. 25:9..” So far following Rebbi Aqiba. Following Rebbi Ismael? ⁷⁰Sifry Num. 73.“You shall blow sounding⁷¹Num. 10:5.; and you shall blow sounding a second time⁷²Num. 10:6.; sounding you shall blow for your travels⁷²Num. 10:6.. If you would say that blowing is sounding, is it not written, to assemble the people you shall blow but not sound⁷³Num. 10:7.”

HALAKHAH: It was stated: No less than seven and no more than sixteen¹⁰⁵Tosephta 4:10 in the name of R. Jehudah.. This Tanna¹⁰⁵Tosephta 4:10 in the name of R. Jehudah. considers blowing straight, modulated, and straight as one unit; the other Tanna considers each single one of them as a unit. You find to say, three for each tribe; Rebbi Jehudah says, three for each standard¹⁰⁶This refers to Num. 10:5–6 (Sifry Num. 73), that the trumpets blown by Cohanim in the Sanctuary also were used to give the signals for departure of the tribes in the desert. The tribes were organized into standards, three tribes for each standard. Since for R. Jehudah three blowings form a unit, the question arises whether there were three or nine sounds heard for each standard.. But it was stated, and nine at the tenth step. That is another one¹⁰⁷Mishnah 7, which does not mention the tenth step, contradicts Mishnah 5.. He who has “three on top of the altar” does not have “at the tenth step;” he who has “at the tenth step” does not have “three on top of the altar”¹⁰⁸Since Mishnah 5 does not mention that the actual pouring of the water on the altar was accompanied by trumpet sounds, the total number of units is equal in Mishnaiot 5 and 7; that number can be taken as a trustworthy tradition. The only difference in traditions refers to the place where the additional sounds were produced. Babli 54a.. Rebbi Ze`ira said, this implies that they only blew the trumpet at the water libation¹⁰⁹But not on the tenth step.. If you are saying, for the drawings, one should state, three for drawing water today, and three for drawing water for tomorrow¹¹⁰Parallel to the trumpet blowing on the occasion of the daily wine libation; Mishnah Tamid 7:3.. Are these it? Are there not others, nine for musaf on the Sabbath, nine for the musaf on a New Moon, and nine for the musaf of the New Year’s day holiday¹¹¹Since blowing at musaf was mentioned in the Mishnah, the question arises whether separate musaf offerings require separate trumpet blowings.? But it must follow him who said, they shall blow, in the course of the musaf sacrifices¹¹²Num. 10:8. Since the ram’s horn on New Year’s Day may be blown by any one of Israel, it follows that the trumpet blowing on Sabbath, holiday, and new Moon mentioned in 10:10, since it may be done only by Cohanim, refers to musaf. Since the days are enumerated separately it follows that on a New Year’s Day which is a Sabbath (and automatically a day of New Moon), three sets of musaf require three separate blowings. Babli 54a.. The rabbis of Caesarea in the name of Rebbi Jacob bar Aḥa: Even following him who said they shall blow, in the course of the musaf sacrifices, they were adding modulated sounds¹¹³In the scribe’s text reading תרועות for תקועות. Since R. Jehudah considers any sequence of sounds preceded and followed by an extended single tone as a single unit, there may be many modulated sounds within one musaf unit. The corrector’s correction of the non-word תקועות to תקיעות makes little sense in the context., they were not adding straight tones.

What is the reason of R. Judah? — Scripture says, “And you shall sound (utekatem) a teruah,” (Numbers 10:5) showing that the How is this so? tekiah and the teruah are regarded as one. What then is the reason of the Rabbis? — That verse is required to teach that the Teru'ah must be preceded and followed by a sustained blast. (From Where does R. Judah deduce the necessity for a sustained blast preceding and following the Teru'ah? — He deduces it from the expression, a second time (Numbers 6:6).
