Jesus' 'BONE-day'

[Gerhard Ebersöhn]

Who has heard of the passover's 'BONE-day' in Christ's last passover-SUFFERING?

Who knew "no bone of Him shall be broken" also means "no bone of Him shall be SEVERED"?

Who has ever thought what that might have implied for Jesus the Suffering Servant of the LORD?

Who has read Klaas Schilder's Trilogy on 'Christ in his Suffering'?

What do you make of it? Does the book mean anything special to you?

 

[Gerhard Ebersöhn]

In Exodus 12:41
the Hebrew, ‘geh’-tzem YOM’, “in the selfsame Bone-DAY”,
is translated, ‘nuktos’, “in the NIGHT” in the LXX.

This “night” = “Bone-Day” is further in Exodus 12:42 described
as “this that [selfsame] night”, ‘ekeinehi heh nuks autehi’—
which in 12:11,15,16 was “the FIRST day” of the seven
that unleavened bread was to be eaten.

In 12:17 this “FIRST day” of unleavened bread is “this selfsame BONE-Day”—in 12:41 also “this selfsame BONE-Day” or this selfsame Bone-“NIGHT” in the LXX.

Therefore “this selfsame Bone-DAY”-“selfsame Bone-NIGHT” supplies the perfect equivalent for ‘nuktos to prohton’ in John 19:39, “the first night”.

The “FIRST” and “BONE-Day” in the Torah, “the NIGHT” in the LXX corresponds to the identical “first day (of) no leavened bread”—Abib 15!

This “first day ye shall eat unleavened bread” was “BONE-Day”, ‘geh’-tzem yom’ Exodus 12:17,41,51 Leviticus 23:14,21 Deuteronomy 32:48 Joshua 5:11—the day on which God led Israel out of Egypt—in the Gospels the day AFTER the crucifixion of Jesus and “the very selfsame BONE-Day” of his BURIAL!
