Bible Note: Tim, "'mow'ed' is used in: vv. 2, 4, 37, and 44." "Mow'ed" means "appointed time" or "sacred season" not feast. So, the chapter opens and closes on that note. But, within the chapter, and elsewhere as well, in the OT a very careful distinction is made between a "mo'ed" and a "chaq" which also happens to show up in the Greek. I checked some 300 verses (don't remember the exact count) and found that neither the Day of Atonement or the feast of Trumpets was called a "heorte" and then I look at what the Hebrew counterpart of those verses said as well. What Bible software do you use? I'm using Bibleworks 4.0 right now and would like to get the newest version that just came out (along with about 1,000 dollars of CD's: commentaries and lexicons--checkout the software available from CBD when you get a chance!). |
