L'année du Jubilé est similaire à Rosh Hashanah en ce qui concerne le souffle [shofroth droit. Et même si souffler sur le Jubilé n'est ni pour la prière ni pour le souvenir, mais pour signaler l'émancipation des esclaves et le retour des champs à leurs propriétaires (d'origine), il (le soufflage) doit être comme celui de Roch Hachana, ce étant dérivé par l'identité: "septième" - "septième", que tous les souffles du septième mois soient semblables. Une autre interprétation: "en ce qui concerne le souffle"—en ce qui concerne le nombre de coups (shofar)], et en ce qui concerne les bénédictions, [malchiyoth, zichronoth et shofroth (4: 5) étant récités à Yom Kippour du Jubilé comme à Roch Hachana.] R. Yehudah dit: Le jour de Roch Hachana, nous soufflons avec (shofroth) de béliers, et, le Jubilé, de ye'elim. [La halakha n'est ni en accord avec R. Yehudah ni avec le premier tanna; mais la halakha c'est qu'à la fois à Roch Hachana et au Yom Kippour du Jubilé, nous soufflons avec le shofroth courbé des béliers.]
Bartenura on Mishnah Rosh Hashanah
שוה היובל לה"ה לתקיעה – With straight horns, for event though the Tekiah on the Jubilee [year] is not for prayer nor for remembrance, but rather as a sign to sending slaves [free] and the return of the fields to their owners, and even so, we it is required something like Rosh Hashanah, for we learn through an analogy from [the words] שביעי שביעי/seventh, seventh (see Leviticus 23:24: “…in the seventh month, on the first day of the month [you shall observe complete rest], a sacred occasion commemorated with loud blasts; and Leviticus 25:9: “Then you shall sound the horn loud, in the seventh month, on the tenth day of the month – the Day of Atonement – you shall have the horn sounded throughout your land.”) – that all of the soundings of he Shofar in the seventh month shall be similar one to another. Another commentary: לתקיעה – the number of Shofar sounds. ולברכות – to the number of blessings, that it is required to state Malkhuyot, Zikhronot and Shofarot on Yom Kippur of the Jubilee [year] just like on Rosh Hashanah.

Introduction
Leviticus 25:8-16 deals with the Jubilee year, the fiftieth year after seven cycles of seven years. Verse 9 states, “Then you shall sound the horn loud; in the seventh month, on the tenth day of the month the Day of Atonement you shall have the horn sounded throughout your land.” Our mishnah deals with the rituals of this day which begins the Jubilee year.

Bartenura on Mishnah Rosh Hashanah
רבי יהודה אומר וכו' – The Halakha is not like Rabbi Yehuda nor is it like the First Tanna, but the Halalkha, whether on Rosh Hashanah, whether on Yom Kippur of the Jubilee year, both are with [horns] from male [rams] that are bent.

English Explanation of Mishnah Rosh Hashanah
The Jubilee is the same as Rosh Hashanah when it comes to blowing [the shofar] and blessings. According to the first opinion, the laws of blowing the shofar and the recitation of blessings are the same for the Jubilee year as they are for Rosh Hashanah of every year. The blessings referred to here are the special blessings recited as part of the Mussaf Amidah. We will learn more about these blessings in chapter four.

English Explanation of Mishnah Rosh Hashanah
Rabbi Judah says: on Rosh Hashanah they blow with [a shofar of] rams and on Jubilees with [a shofar] of ibex. Rabbi Judah says that different animals’ horns are used for the two shofars. The one for Rosh Hashanah is that of a ram, whereas on the Jubilee they use the horn of an ibex. We should note that Rabbi Judah disagrees with the opinion in mishnah three above, according to which on Rosh Hashanah we use the horn of an ibex.
