Ask a Jew, What is the "Bone-Day" (etsem yom)?

[Gerhard Ebersoehn]

Once upon a time there used to be the "In-between sabbath" (Metaksu sabbaton).

Might there be Jews or any Jew who remember it either from the Hebrew or from the Greek?

 

[ChavaK]

Never heard of either. Is this something found in the NT?

I'm not trying to dodge your question, but please first tell me, Would you say time has bones or legs -- figuratively speaking, of course?

Thanks

I would have to say, neither but I know a clock has hands. Probably not of any help at all though, but wanted so say welcome!

In my search there's only one person ever talking about this and it appears to be you.

It seems like some kind of pet theory you have that nobody else knows about.

Good find! I checked this out, and it seems to answer the OP's question.

My wife got very interested in all this when I asked her for some reason so she can get a bunch of credit for really digging deep into it. Her grandfather came from Egypt and was very immersed in Sephardic traditions and I wanted to know if maybe it was an obscure Sephardic thing. (It wasn't)

Side note, the man was amazing. He spoke like seven different languages including Ladino. Unfortunately he passed with none of his children knowing Ladino.

Yes..... it seems to me that time is like an invention......
that on at least some level can be compared with a car, or boat or plane.....
that transports souls from point A to point B.... philosophically...... we are learning to love.....

So yes...... the body also transports us from place to place.....
if you look up the words "Multiverse Theory" on this forum you may find some intriguing language from an online Theoretical Physicist friend of mine.....

"Etsem yom" does not mean "bone day" but "in the middle of the day", or "midday".

Makes a lot more sense. Can you type it in Hebrew? If not, no worries I'm just curious.

"Middle of the day" is "emtsah hayom": אמצע היום
עצמ היומ "etsem hayom" is "the day itself".

Grammatically "bone day" is possible, it's just that it doesn't make too much sense.

In this post 'Bone-Day' in passover is written: "The Septuagint rendered the phrase with a Relative Pronoun, ‘hehmera ekeineh’ – ‘that day’."

That is reasonably close.
