I remember that song from so long ago.
Are you suggesting I should stay, (just a little bit longer)?

Love yuh, bro.
I haven't done anything, other than point out what the book says.
Is it difficult being the villains of your own history book?

No. It is the oldest traditions of the Jews, recorded in a book.
Actually, I think it's worse than that.
The Jews, from their inception, were a mixed group. Jesus said that the tares were planted along with the wheat. Paul said not all Israel is really Israel.
I believe Jesus was questioning whether they weren't bastards - illegitimate as Israelites.
Okay, here is some love back at ya bro:
First we must go back and revisit what is a yom. What is yom according to the scripture in the very beginning? In the beginning Elohim says, "Let there be light", (and there is light). What kind of light is this? Can it be the light of the sun? The greater and lesser lights are not even made until the fourth day of creation; and even at that the text does not use the words for sun and moon, (shemesh and yareach, Deuteronomy 4:19), but rather simply says the greater light and the lesser light. So even at that the fourth-day creation of the greater light and the lesser light must have multiple layers of meaning.
We are told what is the light in the beginning and that is the light of the truth, (John 1:1-9). Thus the statement "Let there be light", (and there was light), is tantamount to "Let there be truth", (and there was truth), for whenever Elohim speaks He only speaks truth: and these are the first words recorded as spoken by Elohim in the scripture. And what does Elohim call the light which is the truth that He spoke? He calls the light, "yom", (Gen 1:5a).
Light = Truth = Yom
Yom = the light of the truth which lights every human being coming into the world, (John 1:9).
Hear, O Israel, ( ), this has nothing to do with twenty-four hour days as reckoned in the modern western mindset: especially when in the Hebrew mindset a full day is not twenty-four hours but rather twelve.

Were the sun and moon and stars made created or appointed "employed" on the fourth day?
Interesting too that the cadence and timing of day and night was established prior this...
If He is that light then He "blinks" to a frequency continued by the day night sequence...

Oh, you know my genealogy now? Are you quite sure?It remains our book. Not yours. You aren't us.
I hear this quite a bit, and no doubt you can rightfully say such a thing; but only concerning the Masorete Hebrew text, (and you can have it, lol, for it is not inspired and was never claimed to be inspired as far as I know). However the basic Hebrew text does not belong to any man or group of men, no matter who or what they call themselves: for the Word belongs to the Most High, for the words contained therein are His Word.
..what text was inspired?
The verses are difficult. Some say that there were originally two holidays: Passover and Unleavened Bread. That doesn't realat directly to the question of when the day begins, mind you.
No, they are not difficult. And yes, the Scriptures reveal that there are two distinct and separate feasts, one being the "Passover" and the other being the "Feast of Unleavened Bread" (see Leviticus 23:5-6).
The Passover was observed on the 14th as a memorial to the night when the blood stained houses were passed over (Ex.12:13-14) and the Feast of Unleavened Bread was a memorial to the day when the children of Israel left Egypt (Ex.16:17).
Therefore, the Passover was not observed on the 15th because that day was reserved for the first day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread, a memorial to the day when the Israelites left Egypt.
In Exodus 13:6 the seventh day of Unleavened Bread is also called a feast:
Exodus 13:6
6 Seven days you shall eat unleavened bread: and in the seventh day, [is] a feast to the LORD.
What is this seventh day feast called in the New Testament?
Whatever it is called...it starts in the morning...after the evening and the morning—the sixth day...
Hmmm . . . I'll give you a hint:
Ye olde KJV calls it "Easter" in one place. :chuckle:
