Shavuah tov. More like "conclusion" or "ending"? However, I see nothing regarding the letting go of a prisoner then. I could see a similarity regarding the azazel and Yom kippur though...Yeshua and Bar Abba...
Brenton, (LXX), renders εξοδιον as a release in some places but not all.
Lev 23:36 LXX (Brenton)
36 Seven days shall ye offer whole-burnt-offerings to the Lord, and the eighth-day shall be a holy convocation to you; and ye shall offer whole-burnt-offerings to the Lord: it is a time of release, ye shall do no servile work.
Numbers 29:35 LXX (Brenton)
35 And on the eighth day there shall be to you a release: ye shall do no servile work in it.
But in Deuteronomy 16:8 Brenton renders it as a holiday for some reason: likely because he did not understand the association between the appointed times of the first month and the appointed times of the seventh month, (Yom haKippurim included, as well as Sukkot).
Ask yourself why κατα is found in the following statements:
Matthew 27:15 T/R
15 κατα δε εορτην ειωθει ο ηγεμων απολυειν ενα τω οχλω δεσμιον ον ηθελον
Mark 15:6 T/R
6 κατα δε εορτην απελυεν αυτοις ενα δεσμιον ονπερ ητουντο
Luke 23:17 T/R
17 αναγκην δε ειχεν απολυειν αυτοις κατα εορτην ενα
Does this really just mean "at the feast"??? What else may κατα mean in this context? Are the authors being intentionally vague to the point of cryptic? By the overwhelming amount of study, commentary, and debate surrounding the passion narratives, I would say that, yes, it is painfully obvious that they are being intentionally vague to the point of cryptic in quite a few places.
Why would they do that? Well, because we are supposed to know the Torah, and if not, we are being forced back to the Torah, (and Prophets, and Writings), if we wish to truly understand. In this manner the authors glorify both the Father and His Son: and anyone who has heard, and has learned from the Father, comes to the Son, (John 6:45).
