Core Text of Chazal

Core Text — Rosh Hashanah 34a
וְהַעֲבַרְתָּ שׁוֹפָר. נֶאֱמַר כָּאן וְהַעֲבַרְתָּ שׁוֹפָר וְנֶאֱמַר לְהַלָּן וַיְצַו מֹשֶׁה וַיַּעֲבִירוּ קוֹל בַּמַּחֲנֶה, מַה לְּהַלָּן בְּקוֹל אַף כָּאן בְּקוֹל.

English: “And you shall sound a shofar.” It is said here “and you shall sound a shofar” and it is said there “and Moshe commanded and they caused a voice to pass through the camp”: just as there [it is] with a voice, so here with a voice.

Type of Learning

Gezeira shavah (Bavli Rosh Hashanah).

What Is Learned

The shofar blast of Yovel must be an audible voice/sound, derived by Gezeira shavah from the “passing of a voice” in the camp.
