Definitely NOT (NO) when it comes to trusting the Word of Yahweh instead of Hark's misinterpreted timeline of
. The Israelites are to be in haste (
) so why would they be still slaying lambs beyond the morning of the 14th when that is contrary and
Exodus 12:7-8, 11 (CLV)
7 They will take some of the blood and put it on the two jambs and on the lintel, on the houses in which they are eating it.
8 Then they will eat the flesh on this night, roasted with fire, and with unleavened cakes; over bitter herbs shall they eat it.
8 Then they will eat the flesh on this night, roasted with fire, and with unleavened cakes; over bitter herbs shall they eat it.
11 And thus shall you eat it, with your waist girded, your sandals on your feet and your stick in your hand. You will eat it in nervous haste. It is the passover to Yahweh.
The Passover lamb is to be slaughtered between the evenings. Passover begins at sundown at the end of the 13th. This begins the 14th. Passover ends at the evening of the 15th. The Passover lamb must be slaughtered between these two evenings.
Does Hark really believe "between the evenings" is a 24 hour window? What Hark doesn't take into account is that the blood from the slaughtered lambs is to be put on the
"lintel and two jambs" (CLV)
before midnight of the 14th. That in itself invalidates Hark's interpretation of
"between the evenings" as bogus.
Exodus 12:24-27 (CLV)
24 Now you will observe this word as a statute for you and for your sons unto the eon.
25 It will come to be when you are entering to the land which Yahweh is giving to you just as He spoke, then you will observe this service.
26 And it will come to be when your sons are saying to you: What is this service to you?
27 Then you will say: It is the sacrifice of passover to Yahweh, Who passed over the houses of the sons of Israel in Egypt, when He struck the Egyptians, yet our households He rescued. So the people bowed their heads and bowed themselves down.
Hark's timeline for
"between the evenings" (
Exodus 12:6) is not only
מְבַלבֵּל it is also defaming to the instruction of Yahweh. Orthodox Judaism would also view Hark's
"between the evenings" timeline as
לשון הרע as according to the Talmud lambs were only to be slain in the afternoon of Nisan 14 ...
Shemot 12:6 (The Complete Jewish Bible With Rashi Commentary) ...
And you shall keep it for inspection until the fourteenth day of this month, and the entire congregation of the community of Israel shall slaughter it in the afternoon.
בין הערבים AT EVENTIDE — The period beginning at six hours (reckoning from six o’clock in the morning) and hence forward is called בין הערבים (Mekhilta d'Rabbi Yishmael 12:6:5), because the sun then inclines in the direction of the place of its setting to become darkened. The expression בין הערבים appears to me to denote those hours which are between the darkening of the day and the darkening of the night. The darkening of the day is at the beginning of the seventh hour in the day, from when the shadows of evening decline; and the darkening of the night is at the commencement of the night (this period is therefore from noon until the beginning of night). ... commentary by Rashi
Both the pharisaical leaders of the Sanhedrin and Rashi would consider Hark's timeline defaming and heretical. Assuming Hark were Jewish living at the time of Yeshua and he suggested the Sanhedrin take under consideration his "between the evenings" timeline they would show him to the door for what they considered a defamation of their Talmud (oral law).
