Ibn Ezra on Numbers 29:1/אבן עזרא על במדבר כ״ט:א׳
איום תרועה. מצוה להריע כי אילו היה זה הדיבור על עולת היום למה לא הזכיר בשאר המועדים ועוד כי כל העולות צוה לתקוע ולא להריע:
1IT IS A DAY OF BLOWING THE HORN.1. Literally, a day of tru’ah. I.E.’s interpretation of yom tru’ah is, a day of sounding a tru’ah. It is a commandment to sound a tru’ah.2 is a wavering blast. If this statement referred to the burnt offering offered on this day,3 then why is it not mentioned with regard to the other festivals?4 was to the sound to be played over the burnt offerings on the festivals cited in Num. 10:10, then the Torah should have mentioned the sounding of the tru’ah with regard to the other festivals. Furthermore, the Torah tells us to sound a teki’ah5 over the burnt offerings, not a tru’ah.6. If the reference was to the sound played over the burnt offerings, the Torah would have spoken of a teki’ah.
