When does the biblical day begin?
- Thread starter clefty
- Start date
Ah yes...
"—In Post-Biblical Literature:" ibid.
I prefer the Biblical Literature myself...but if you want to go outside of scripture ok...
No, it doesn't. It is not connected to modern concepts of clock time.
Shucks! It is frustrating when an educated Jew tells them something and they refuse to hear.

Huh?
I thought Shabbat began at or near sunset, whatever clock time that may be. Last time I was in Jerusalem that is when the sirens or Jewish music started to blast.

You aren't making sense. You maintain that Shabbat starts at a particular clock time. It simply doesn't. It starts when the sun sets, so the clock time shifts with the seasons. Take a look at a Jewish calendar sometime.
Don't read beyond the last post on the thread do ya?
Might I suggest

You attribute this to Hebrew roots movement?
And its nonsense to do as He did?
Take your clock time and stick it. It starts on Friday when two stars are visible around 6 u idiot

It has nothing to do with 6 o'clock, oh wise man, It depends on the season and where you are located. Think about sunset. What time is sunset? always 6 pm? everywhere? all year long?
You idiot. 6 is an average. What kind of fool are you that has no argument and try to pin me down on this stupid stuff? Jerry thinks it’s Saturday I’m on your side dumbo. Sundown Friday is when sabbath begins. Do I’m right. Thank you

-Acts 4:3 "And they laid hands on them, and put them in hold unto the next day: for it was now eventide".
See? scriptures says otherwise...it was evening and still not the next day...

Gregorian vs Jewish Calendars As much as I admire the mathematic ability of individuals, it is very hard to compare days between one and the other. Matthew 12:40 settles one issue for me. If your math doesn't add up, you've done something wrong. The Hebrew calendar wouldn't have favored the Gregorian days of the week such as Saturday or Sunday. The Hebrew calendar was between 7 and 10 days different thus the Sabbath would have been a different Gregorian day every year.
I see. That is why you kept insisting on it.And calling me an idiot.
Well, at least you've backed down. Now apologize for the insults, and we're OK.

Nehemiah 13:19
So it was, at the gates of Jerusalem, as it began to be dark before the Sabbath, that I commanded the gates to be shut, and charged that they must not be opened till after the Sabbath. Then I posted some of my servants at the gates, so that no burdens would be brought in on the Sabbath day.
This is another proof that Sabbath starts at sunset and not day break. As soon as it turns dark, the gates are shut. It did not say "as soon as it was day break shut the gate."

From the beginning (Genesis) a day has always been divided from the night.
Day is the time of light, night is the time of dark.
Day always starts when the dark is replaced with light, never when the light is replaced with dark.
Day begins at dawn, not at sunset.

You need to show it in scripture otherwise you're just voicing an opinion. The Bible provides four verse at least that show a day was from evening to evening but there is not one verse that shows it was from morning to morning:
Numbers 9:5
And they kept the passover on the fourteenth day of the first month between the two evenings in the wilderness of Sinai; according to all that the LORD commanded Moses, so did the sons of Israel.

Exodus 12:6
And ye shall keep it until the fourteenth day of this month; and the whole congregation of the assembly of Israel shall kill it between the two evenings.

Leviticus 23:32
It is a day of sabbath rest for you, and you must deny yourselves. From the evening of the ninth day of the month until the following evening you are to observe your sabbath."
