Tosefta Rosh Hashanah (Lieberman)
If they sanctified him in his time, and it proves that the witnesses were false, behold, it is sanctified. If they have sanctified it at night, it is not sanctified. If they lead him under duress, by mistake, on purpose, or astray, behold, it is sanctified. Have they sanctified it before its time or after its lengthening - [that is] less than days or more than days - can it then be sanctified? [there is a] teaching [of Scripture that] says ”Month [beginning]” - there is no month [beginning] before the 30th day.

Tosefta Rosh Hashanah (Lieberman)
On fast days they blow three sets of three each, and when breaking camp they blow three sets of three each, three for each standard. [These are] words of R. Yehuda; but the [other] sages say: Three by every tribe. What are they blowing with? [Answer:] With the trumpets that Moses made. R. Yehuda says: In the New Year one blows on [horns] of rams and in the year of jubilee on [horns] of Capricorns; scholars have placed the common with the common and the uncommon with the uncommon.

Tosefta Rosh Hashanah (Lieberman)
If a horn was long and he shortened it, then it is fit. If he has scraped it inside or outside, it is good. Ha [a]he disguises it inside, it is useless ; [if he] has it [covered up] on the outside, then it is fit for purpose. Did [a]he disguise the mouthpiece or did he extended, even if [it happened] with [material] of the same kind, it is invalid. If it was punctured, and if [a]er [then] stopped it, even if [it was done] with [material] of the same kind, it is unsuitable if it prevents blowing; but if not, it is fit. If he has put two horns together and blown them, then when he has heard the sound of the inner one, he has done his duty; if he has heard the sound of the outside, then he has not fulfilled his duty. The size of the horn: that [d]er [bloa-ser] take it with his hand and blow kana

Tosefta Rosh Hashanah (Lieberman)
All are obliged to blow the horn: priests, Levites, Israelites, proselytes, freed slaves, temple slaves, born of a forbidden marriage, mutilated by men, born by birth Mutilated, one with crushed testicles or one with a severed penis - they are all obliged and relieve the general public of their obligation. The tumtom and the hermaphrodite are obligated, but they do not absolve the public of their obligation. The hermaphrodite absolves its genus, but he does not absolve him who is not of his species [, of his duty]. The tumtom does not absolve either its genus or who is not of his species [his duty]. women, slaves and children are free and do not relieve the public of their duty.

Tosefta Rosh Hashanah (Lieberman)
Did a shepherd leave his cattle behind the synagogue or was a sick person lying behind the synagogue, [and] he has the sound of the horn or heard the voice of the [recitation of the Esther scroll, if he has set his heart to it, he has done his duty; but if not, he has not fulfilled his duty. Although one heard [the sound] and the other heard [the sound], [there is this difference]: one has set his heart on it, but the other has not set his heart on it; he who has set his heart on it has done his duty, but he who has not set his heart on it has not done his duty. Everything depends on the heart being set on it; for it is said: ”You set their heart [to it]; you let your ear pay attention”, and she says [further]: “Give me, my son, your heart and let your eyes pay attention to my ways !”

Tosefta Berakhot
Women, slaves and children are exempt [from saying Birkat Hamazon (Grace After Meals)], and they cannot absolve many [people, who include men] from their obligation [of saying Birkat Hamazon]. In reality, they (i.e. the Rabbis) said that a woman can say [Birkat Hamazon] for her husband, a son can say [Birkat Hamazon] for his father, [and] a slave can say [Birkat Hamazon] for his master.
