רב נחמן בר יצחק אמר לדין דכתיב (דברים יא, יב) מראשית השנה ועד אחרית שנה מראשית השנה נידון מה יהא בסופה
- There is no contradiction; the one statement refers to kings of Israel, the other to kings of other nations. What then of the dictum of R'Hisda, 'This statement refers only to the kings of Israel, but for the kings of other nations w reckon from Tishri'; was R'Hisda telling us only something that we already know from a Mishnah? - No; R'Hisda wanted to tell us the import of some Scriptural verses.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' I.e., he was telling us that we can learn from the Scriptures that the years of non-Israelitish kings are reckoned from Tishri. V. supra p. 7.');"><sup>13</sup></span>
Tosefta Rosh Hashanah (Lieberman)
At the beginning of the year, all who have come into the world are passing before him [god] as a military unit; because it says: "He created their heart together" etc. And it says [further]: "Blow the horn on the new moon, at the full moon of our festival". And it says [further]: "For this is the statute of Israel, the law of the God of Jacob". Has the court sanctified the month, the process begins before him, and if the court has not done so, the process does not begin.
