the meat part must be eaten or burned entirely before the next day...you know as with the Passover lamb...that free will, with a vow, thank offering...this study just gets better I tells ya...
Yup Passover is under that thanks free will vow offering category...
It's been good discussing the Passover but I was focused on the beginning of the biblical day...
But I just listed that text to show that the day begins in the morning as the meat killed/offered must be eaten on the same day which does not turn to the next day with the setting sun...but must be eaten or burnt entirely before the next day's morning rising sun...
Jesus ate the Passover with his disciples in the early hours of the evening of 14th day of Abib, which the Jews, who had abandoned the one day Festival of Passover, and had incorporated the Passover meal into the first of their seven day festival of Unleavened Bread, called the day of Preparation.
Shortly after the meal, Jesus was arrested by men carrying torches, on the 14th day of preparation, He was sentenced to death by Pilate on the 6th hour (Mid night)of the 12 hours of darkness on the 14th day of Preparation. See John 19: 13-14.
Jesus was nailed to the cross on the 3rd hour of the 12 hour period of daylight, on the 14th day of Preparation. See Mark 15: 25.
Darkness covered the land at the 6th hour (Midday)of the 12 hour period on the 14th day of Preparation. See Mark 15: 33. Also Luke 23: 44. Also Matthew 27: 45.
Jesus died on the ninth hour of daylight on the 14th day of preparation. See Mark 15: 34. Also Matthew 27: 46.
Jesus was buried around the 12th hour of the 14th day of Preparation, Just as the darkness of the evening of the fifteenth day, which was a Most High Sabbath, when the Jews ate their Passover, in the beginning of the first day of the Festival of Unleavened Bread. Since it was the day of preparation, Joseph and Nicodemus asked for the body of Jesus, etc.
Matthew 27: 62; The next day, after the 14th day of preparation, etc.
Mark 15: 42; And when even had come, since it was the day of Preparation, that is, the day before the Sabbath (that was the beginning of the seven day festival of Unleavened Bread) Joseph and Nicodemus asked for the body of Jesus, rtc.
Luke 23: 54; It was at the end of the 14th day of preparation and the 15th day Sabbath of the first of the seven days of Unleavened Bread, was just beginning as the sun was setting on the 14th day of preparation when Jesus was buried.
New International Version, Joh 19: 31; Now it was the day of Preparation, and the next day was to be a special Sabbath (The first Sabbath of Unleavened Bread). Because the Jewish leaders did not want the bodies left on the crosses during the Sabbath, they asked Pilate to have the legs broken and the bodies taken down.
If that does not convince you that sunset was the beginning of the Jewish day, then you reveal yourself to be an obstinate, argumentative person, who has no desire whatsoever in discovering the truths as revealed in scripture, but like an ignorant child you just love to argue.
