Bible Note: First off, I am glad that we can take time to reason this out. I am not an educated Bible scholar, I am a seeker of truth. My aim is not to dispute the Bible, but to point out the truth in it, indeed, the truth will set you free (John 8:32). Besides the books that I have already listed, I am using Thayer's Greek-English Lexicon of the NT along with Kohlenbergers Greek-English Concordance. From both of those reference sources the word sabbaton is described as plural (Sabbaths), but mistranslated as singular (week). I cannot begin to compare myself to these men, but with a humble heart I have asked Yahweh (God) for wisdom (James 1:5). I am sorry that I did not explain about the counting of Sabbaths. The Jewish feast of Passover is followed 50 days later by the Feast of Weeks (Pentecost). In Leviticus 23:3-21 the command is given to Moses about counting seven Sabbaths from the Feast of Unleavened Bread to the Feast of Weeks. It didn't matter which day of the week it fell on. Passover was on the 14th of Nisan (Aviv), the next day was first day of Unleavened Bread, and in respect to Passover week, the weekly Sabbath was called the first of the Sabbaths leading up to Pentecost. I hope that answers most of your questions and maybe raises some more. I will be here for more follow-ups. |
