Leviticus 23:36 KJV
36 Seven days ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto the LORD: on the eighth day shall be an holy convocation unto you; and ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto the LORD: it is a solemn assembly; [atzeret] and ye shall do no servile work therein.
Leviticus 23:36 LXX - Brenton English Translation
36 Seven days shall ye offer whole-burnt-offerings to the Lord, and the eighth-day shall be a holy convocation to you; and ye shall offer whole-burnt-offerings to the Lord: it is a time of release, [exodion] ye shall do no servile work.
Numbers 29:35 KJV
35 On the eighth day ye shall have a solemn assembly: [atzeret] ye shall do no servile work therein:
Numbers 29:35 LXX - Brenton English Translation
35 And on the eighth day there shall be to you a release: [exodion] ye shall do no servile work in it.
Is the Atzeret-Exodion of Passover Unleavened Bread the seventh or eight day?
Exodus 13:6 KJV
6 Seven days thou shalt eat unleavened bread, and in the seventh day shall be a feast to the LORD.
Deuteronomy 16:8 KJV
8 Six days thou shalt eat unleavened bread: and on the seventh day shall be a solemn assembly [atzeret] to the LORD thy God: thou shalt do no work therein.
Deuteronomy 16:8 OG LXX
8 εξ ημερας φαγη αζυμα και τη ημερα τη εβδομη εξοδιον εορτη κυριω τω θεω σου ου ποιησεις εν αυτη παν εργον πλην οσα ποιηθησεται ψυχη
8 Six days you shall eat unleavened-bread, and in the day of the seven (week) shall be an exodion-release, a feast unto the LORD your God: you shall not do any work in it, save what must be done by any one.
The book of Nehemiah calls the eighth day of Sukkot-Tabernacles also the day of a custom, and ordinance, and at the same time a judgment, or decision, (which could even be understood as a judgment or decision made by the people), as well as an atzeret and an exodion, (a release), as it is called in the Torah:
Nehemiah 8:18 KJV
18 Also day by day, from the first day unto the last day, he read in the book of the law of God. And they kept the feast seven days; and on the eighth day was a solemn assembly, [atzeret] according unto the manner [custom - mishpat].
Nehemiah 8:18 TS2009
18 And day by day, from the first day until the last day, he read from the Book of the Torah of Elohim. And they performed the festival seven days. And on the eighth day there was an assembly, [atzeret] according to the right-ruling [judgment - mishpat].
Nehemiah 8:18 HNV
18 Also day by day, from the first day to the last day, he read in the scroll of the Torah of God. They kept the feast seven days; and on the eighth day was a solemn assembly, [atzeret] according to the ordinance [mishpat].
Nehemiah 8:18 OG LXX
18 και ανεγνω εν βιβλιω νομου του θεου ημεραν εν ημερα απο της ημερας της πρωτης εως της ημερας της εσχατης και εποιησαν εορτην επτα ημερας και τη ημερα τη ογδοη εξοδιον κατα το κριμα
H4941 מִשׁפָּט mishpat (mish-pawt') n-m.
1. (properly) a verdict (favorable or unfavorable) pronounced judicially.
2. (especially) a sentence or formal decree (human or (participant's) divine law, individual or collective), including the act, the place, the suit, the crime, and the penalty.
3. (abstractly) justice, including a participant's right or privilege (statutory or customary), or even a style.
[from H8199]
KJV: + adversary, ceremony, charge, X crime, custom, desert, determination, discretion, disposing, due, fashion, form, to be judged, judgment, just(-ice, -ly), (manner of) law(-ful), manner, measure, (due) order, ordinance, right, sentence, usest, X worthy, + wrong.
Root(s): H8199
G2917 κρίμα krima (kriy'-ma) n.
a decision (the function or the effect, for or against (“crime”)).
[from G2919]
KJV: avenge, condemned, condemnation, damnation, + go to law, judgment
Root(s): G2919
Thus both the Hebrew mishpat and the Greek krima can mean a verdict, a decision, or a judgement, (even a decision of the people), and mishpat can certainly also be understood as a custom, and especially a custom based in the Torah. And if the above Nehemiah passage applies to the eighth day of Sukkot-Tabernacles, (called Shmini Atzeret), then the same would apply to the seventh day Atzeret-Exodion and final feast day of Passover Unleavened Bread.
Now therefore I ask:
John 18:39-40 HNV
39 But you have a custom, that I should release someone to you at the Pesach. Therefore do you want me to release to you the King of the Jews?"
40 Then they all shouted again, saying, "Not this man, but Bar-Abba!" Now Bar-Abba was a robber.
What day of the week of Passover Unleavened Bread is this? Is there an eighth day?
Let the arguments begin . . . :chuckle:
