Talmud for Rosh Hashanah 66:14

ואין לי אלא ביובל בראש השנה מנין ת"ל בחדש השביעי

I know this so far only of the Jubilee; how do I know it of New Year? The text says significantly, In the seventh month,<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Ibid.');"><sup>26</sup></span> when there is no real occasion for the expression, in the seventh month.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Because it says immediately after, 'on the day of atonement'.');"><sup>27</sup></span> Why then does it say, in the seventh month? To show that all the teru'ahs of the seventh month should be of the same character. How do we know that there must be a plain blast<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' I.e., a teki'ah.');"><sup>28</sup></span> before it? Because it says, Thou, shalt make proclamation with a shofar of teru'ah.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Which is taken to mean 'shofar (i.e., teki'ah) and teru'ah'.');"><sup>29</sup></span> How do we know that there must be a plain blast<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' I.e., a teki'ah.');"><sup>30</sup></span> after it? Because it says, Ye shall make proclamation with the shofar.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Lev. XXV, 9. The repetition of the word shofar points to another teki'ah.');"><sup>31</sup></span> I know this only of the Jubilee; how do I learn it of New Year also? It says significantly, in the seventh month<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Ibid.');"><sup>32</sup></span>

Jerusalem Talmud Rosh Hashanah

64Sifra Emor Parashah 11(7), Behar Parashah 2(4); Babli 33b/34a.“From where that there is a single sound preceding? The verse says, you shall convey the shofar. And from where that there is a single sound afterwards, the verse says, you shall convey the shofar65Lev. 25:9 reads: You shall convey the shofar of sounds in the seventh month, on the tenth of the month; on the Day of Atonement you shall convey the shofar in all of your land. It seems that they interpret “convey” as conveying a single sound.. So far the Jubilee, New Year’s day? You shall convey the shofar of sounds in the seventh month, on the tenth of the month, on the Day of Atonement. The verse did not have to say, in the seventh month. Why did the verse say, in the seventh month? Only that everything you are doing in the Seventh Month do as on the Tenth of the Month. Since here he blows, modulates, and blows, so also there he blows, modulates, and blows.”
