2002.03.D.01 Scriptural New Year Commenced at Sunset Friday 15 March or Sunrise Saturday 16 March Created by James3 on 8/9/2019 9:05:15 AM Scriptural New Year Commenced at Sunset Friday 15 March or Sunrise Saturday 16 March
Greetings,
Following are extracts from various mails confirming that Abib Barley has been found in and around Jerusalem and that the New Moon was sighted on the evening of Friday 15 March.
Depending on your interpretation of the Scriptural Day, the Scriptural New Year commenced at sunset on 15 March or sunrise on 16 March and all other dates will be counted from this point, refer previous mails.
The summary calendar is as follows:
The orthodox Jewish interpretation is that all of the above Holy Days begin at sunset on the day before the date listed and continue for 25 hours until the end of twilight the following day.
According to the interpretation that a Scriptural day begins in the morning posted recently, then these days would begin at sunrise on the dates above with the exceptions mentioned in the article:
[ETI Main pdf 1A1.02.01.06] The Dayspring: Scriptural Proof a Day Begins In the Morning
Note that THIS YEAR the date for Passover approximately correlates with Easter, this is NOT always the case.
At this stage i am unclear as to whether Passover should be observed on the evening of Friday 29 March or of 30 March.
Warm regards and blessings
