Rosh Hashanna should occur on the first of the month but until calenders were made, the sanhedrine had a court. When two witnesses see the outline of the new moon, they come to the court to say they have seen the outline of the new moon. Then the court would declare a new month or new year. When they knew by the moon when the first day of the new year occured, they could determine the first day of Rosh hashanna or when it should begin.
They would also know when the other festivals should be.
Rosh hashanna is the only festival that could not be predicted ahead of time as the other festivals because it was determined {the time of it} by the moon and a court had to declare it so IT IS THE DAY THAT NO MAN KNOWETH"
It is a reminder of Jesus statement Matthew 24:36
Jesus seems to be giving a clue
"But of that day and hour knoweth no man..."
Matthew 24:30 "And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven....and they shall see the Son of man comming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory."
verse 31 "And he shall send His angels with a great sound of a Trumpet"
verse 32 "Now learn the parable of the fig tree. When his branch is yet tender and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh
verse 33 "So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors."
Rosh Hashanna is usually in September, the Automnl of the year, harvest time. It seems a symbolic time to come and gather His elect, His wheat.
Matthew 3:12
"Whose fan is in His hand and He will thoroughly purge His floor and gather His wheat into the garner..."
Also the Jewish festivals days are sundown to sundown like Sabbath so the first day would be half of one day and half of another. So an event happening on the first day of a Rosh Hashanna could happen, for example, on a Wedsday or Thursday.
