The Septuagint used the phrase "a trumpet-blast of liberty" (ἀφέσεως σημασία apheseôs sêmasia), and the Vulgate used the Latin iobeleus, the English term Jubilee derives from the Latin term. The Latin term derives from the Hebrew term יוֹבֵל yōḇēl,[7] used in the Masoretic Text, which also meant ram and ram's horn trumpet,[8] the Jubilee year was announced by a blast on a shofar, an instrument made from a ram's horn, during that year's Yom Kippur.[9]
