Guess you must have missed the obvious fact that before God created time and the world that there were no seasons before Genesis 1:1? Sigh...
And in regards to what season God began the world in see post #201.
@daq Dear brother I have one simple question:
Does life begin with your death?
A silly question on the surface I know...but what I find funny about the line of reasoning of those who believe that the year begins in the fall, and the day begins in the evening, or even midnight:
It's like saying God starts your life with you dead...and then brings you to life? Or even hilarious still that you begin your day when it's time to sleep.
These things are contrary to the natural order of things and isn't supported by Scripture.
Before Adam was given the breath of life to live: he never existed.
Allegorize that.
Lol! There were no seasons before Genesis 1:1...you claim that creation began in the autumn with no proof.If there were no seasons then why did you use spring time, and all the beautiful plants and flowers, and the supposed correlation to the third day of creation, in support your hypothesis? Moreover, whether you realize it or not, right now in the southern hemisphere it is summer.
Or some refuse to take the post #195 test...I see you have once again lost your cool. Some people just cannot handle their theories being put into question.
I just consulted the Greek LXX and copied the Greek text in 1 Samuel 20:5Samuel the Prophet is not the Torah. However both passages you quoted contain hodesh, not yerach, and the LXX renders both verses as the second (day) of the month, (μηνος), not "new moon", which is strictly an English translation based on Sanhedrin authority and Pharisaic teachings. Moreover verses five and eighteen also contain hodesh, not yerach, and in both of those instances the LXX renders hodesh as new month, (νουμηνια/νεομηνια), not new moon, just as it does most everywhere else with hodesh, and this is the same word likewise used in the Apostolic writings.
1 Samuel 20:5 OG LXX
5 και ειπεν δαυιδ προς ιωναθαν ιδου δη νεομηνια αυριον και εγω καθισας ου καθησομαι μετα του βασιλεως φαγειν και εξαποστελεις με και κρυβησομαι εν τω πεδιω εως δειλης
1 Samuel 20:18 OG LXX
18 και ειπεν ιωναθαν αυριον νουμηνια και επισκεπηση οτι επισκεπησεται καθεδρα σου
1 Samuel 20:27 OG LXX
27 και εγενηθη τη επαυριον του μηνος τη ημερα τη δευτερα και επεσκεπη ο τοπος του δαυιδ και ειπεν σαουλ προς ιωναθαν τον υιον αυτου τι οτι ου παραγεγονεν ο υιος ιεσσαι και εχθες και σημερον επι την τραπεζαν
1 Samuel 20:34 OG LXX
34 και ανεπηδησεν ιωναθαν απο της τραπεζης εν οργη θυμου και ουκ εφαγεν εν τη δευτερα του μηνος αρτον οτι εθραυσθη επι τον δαυιδ οτι συνετελεσεν επ αυτον ο πατηρ αυτου
Colossians 2:16 T/R
16 μη ουν τις υμας κρινετω εν βρωσει η εν ποσει η εν μερει εορτης η νουμηνιας η σαββατων
Colossians 2:16 W/H
16 μη ουν τις υμας κρινετω εν βρωσει και εν ποσει η εν μερει εορτης η νεομηνιας η σαββατων
μηνος = G3376 μην = a month
G3561 νουμηνια/νεομηνια = G3501 νεος (new) + G3376 μην (month)
σεληνη = G4582 selene = the moon
G4583 σεληνιαζομαι = moon-struck (Mat 4:24, 17:15)
I just consulted the Greek LXX and copied the Greek text in 1 Samuel 20:5
I then translated the Greek into English and the phrase, 'new moon', is what is written in the Greek text. Where did you get your Koine Greek translation of 1 Samuel 20:5 from?
Your suggestion:
The Greek word, μηνος = G3376 μην = a month
G3561 νουμηνια/νεομηνια = G3501 νεος (new) + G3376 μην (month)
μην is not in the Koine Greek LXX (1 Samuel 20:5).
I simply translated the Koine Greek text. I did not follow any tradition in doing that. The LXX Koine Greek version of, 1 Samuel 20:5 , does not mention, 'month', in the Koine Greek.It's true, G3561 noumenia/neomenia is a compound word formed with G3501 neos, which means new, and G3376 men, which is a month. There is nothing in that compound word about the moon. Like I said, that's strictly English translations based on a Sanhedrin Pharisaic understanding of the calculation of the year according to the lunar cycle. In other words it is strictly based on tradition and not what is actually in the texts. Just because a lexicon may say that noumenia is a new moon doesn't make it true. The word literally means new month.

I can see and follow your reasoning.Feast of Unleavened Bread/Passover
14th Day of Abib (Tuesday)
1st Day of Unleavened Bread/Passover (evening)
Christ is buried before evening.
Christ dies on cross at 9th Hour (i.e. 3 p.m.)
Christ crucified at 6th Hour (i.e. 12 p.m.)
Christ sentenced by Pilate (late morning)
Christ stands before Herod (mid morning)
Christ stands before Pilate (morning)
But should we believe the timeline of the eyewitnesses on the road to Emmaus? They said THAT day (Sunday) was the 3rd day since the events happened. The day those events happened would have been on erev Shabbat.
Are you replying to me? Not sure what you are doing...I said that Aviv 15 was a Shabbat that year...
The 26th is Firstfruit. The 1st day after unleavened breadI'm not sure of the purpose of presenting those calendars which have more days than a lunar cycle; so I didn't include them in the quote.
This doesn't seem to work for Shavuot
What is 51/~28?
So is the 15th "during the feast"?
Then were gathered together the chief priests, and the elders of the people, unto the court of the high priest, who was called Caiaphas; and they took counsel together that they might take Jesus by subtlety, and kill him. But they said, Not during the feast, lest a tumult arise among people.
The 26th is Firstfruit. The 1st day after unleavened bread
The 28th second month the 40th day or Ascension.
(CLV) Lv 23:6
And on the fifteenth day of this month is the festival of unleavened bread to Yahweh. Seven days shall you eat unleavened bread.
(CLV) Lv 23:7
On the first day you shall come to have a holy meeting, when you shall do not occupational work at all.
(CLV) Lv 23:8
And you will bring near a fire offering to Yahweh seven days. On the seventh day is a holy meeting, when you shall do not occupational work at all.
(CLV) Lv 23:9
Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying:
(CLV) Lv 23:10
Speak to the sons of Israel, and you will say to them, When you come into the land which I am giving to you and reap its harvest, you will bring a sheaf of the firstfruit of your harvest to the priest.
This is Bikkurim.
(CLV) Lv 23:11
He will wave the sheaf before Yahweh for acceptance on your behalf. From the morrow of the sabbath the priest shall wave it.
From the morrow of the Shabbat. This is the first day of the week, no? The day after Shabbat? How could YHWH be calling day 1 of Hag Matzot the Shabbat in this case?
Let's test by my understanding Let's call this day one in out count, the first day of the week.
If you wish to put together a proof which fits your understanding; I'll be happy to review it.
(CLV) Lv 23:12
On the day when you cause the sheaf to wave you will offer a flawless year-old he-lamb as an ascent offering to Yahweh,
(CLV) Lv 23:13
together with its approach present of two tenths of an ephah of flour mingled with oil, a fire offering to Yahweh, a fragrant odor, and its libation of wine, a fourth of a hin.
(CLV) Lv 23:14
Not bread or toasted grain or groats of the new crop shall you eat until this very day, until you bring- the approach present of your Elohim. It shall be an eonian statute throughout your generations in all your dwellings.
(CLV) Lv 23:15
You will count off for yourselves from the morrow of the sabbath, from the day you bring the sheaf of the wave offering: there shall be seven flawless sabbaths.
Let's count from day one.
1,2,3,4,5,6,7 Shabbat
1,2,3,4,5,6,7 Shabbat
1,2,3,4,5,6,7 Shabbat
1,2,3,4,5,6,7 Shabbat
1,2,3,4,5,6,7 Shabbat
1,2,3,4,5,6,7 Shabbat
1,2,3,4,5,6,7 Shabbat
7X7=49
(CLV) Lv 23:16
Until the morrow of the seventh sabbath you shall count off fifty days; then you will bring near an approach present of new grain to Yahweh.
The first day of the week (day 1, one day,)
7X7=49+1=50
I disagree that your arguments are objective, for example, you just skipped right over what I said in what you just quoted.
Ezekiel 40:1 KJV
1 In the five and twentieth year of our captivity, in the beginning of the year, in the tenth day of the month, in the fourteenth year after that the city was smitten, in the selfsame day the hand of the LORD was upon me, and brought me thither.
Ezekiel 40:1 TS2009 (W/Footnotes)
1 In the twenty-fifth year of our exile, at Rosha haShanah,b on the tenth of the new moon, in the fourteenth year after the city was stricken, on that same day the hand of יהוה came upon me and He brought me there. Footnotes: aHead. bOf the year.
Is this Abib/Nisan 10? or is it Ethanim/Tishri 10? Modern Judaism would obviously say that Rosh haShanah is Tishri 1, Yom Teruah, and therefore it is the 10th of the seventh month, Yom haKippurim.
And yet you just skip over such things and ignore them as though they are insignificant. However if this is indeed the 10th of the seventh month then the Prophet is calling Ethanim/Tishri the head of the year.
Would it not be that he says this because of the creation of the world? And again, this puts your reasoning for starting your calendar on the fourth day of the week in doubt: for you say it starts with the fourth day of the week because of the fourth day of creation, but it may indeed be that the creation should be understood to have occurred in Autumn.
I'm not saying either way, but what I am saying is that your hypothesis really doesn't have much merit: and if you want to argue that the passage above is speaking of Abib/Nisan then you surely have an uphill battle.
HARK!
I have read your feed and agree, do you even see my point or are you trying to correct something?
Ex 12:1 The Lord said to Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt, “This (Abib/Nisan) month shall be the beginning of months to you; it is to be the first month of the year to you.
The annual count is still reconned on the Genisis Civil year, but the feasts are celebrated on the Exodus sacred calendar.
So yes the creation should be understood to have occurred in Autumn.
