WWW Chat Bible CommentaryUser-Posted Comments on Leviticus 23:5"Between the evenings= "erevim" is a period of time comprising 20-30 minutes at dusk. Not 24 hours between two days!!! Scriptural days begin and end at dusk. Anotherwards sundown to sundown, not midnight to midnight as the Gregorian calendar does.When Judah was in Babylonian captivity they picked up erroneous ways in keeping Passover, Unleavened Bread and Shavouth that are strictly not Scripture but the ways of their teachers. Exodus 12 is the basis for determining when between the evenings are, NOT THE TIMING OF THE IMPALEMENT OF MESSIAH WAS!. If people hold on to the 24 hour concept of understanding between the evenings they are sinning, because the Passover lamb would have been offered on Aviv 15, when Torah says 14th. Also if they waited till the 15th, the death messenger would have slaughtered their firstborn males because they would have not placed the blood from the Passover lamb upon their doorposts for protection. They would also been disobedient not to burn the remains in the morning as they were told by Moses. Exodus 12:6‘And you shall keep it until the fourteenth day of the same month. Then all the assembly of the congregation of Yisra’ĕl shall kill it between the evenings. (It does not say kill it on the 15th) Note Numbers 28:16‘And in the first month, on the fourteenth day, is the Passover of Yahweh;; Leviticus 23:5‘In the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month, between the evenings, is the Passover to Yahweh; 2 Chronicles 35:1. Read these passages with between the evenings for yourself and see that they are not describing a 24 hour event but a 20-30 minute event : Passages:Read and notice the context:
Exodus 12:6 Exodus 16:12 Exodus 29:39 Exodus 29:41 Exodus 30:8 Leviticus 23:5 Numbers 9:3 Numbers 9:5 Numbers 9:11 Numbers 28:4 Numbers 28:8 Then come to your own conclusion. - Mike Gardner (6/22/2019 8:42:11 PM) Thanks, SJS, for your response. I agree that all were types to ready us for the One they point to. Just wondering if our Savior's keeping Passover early on the 14th of Aviv with the disciples, and BEING the Passover before the end of the 14th is the real intention of "between the evenings" - or can "beyn ha arbayim" only be understood as an idiom for "dusk?" Thanks again :) - grateful me (6/5/2019 8:52:01 PM) grateful me - Leviticus 23:5 Does anyone have a good understanding of "beyn ha arbayim" in this passage? Is it "at evening" or "between the evenings" or something else? I am not an expert in Hebrew, though what I observe is God readying His people for a celebration of the Passover. Like all feasts they begin at sundown which is the beginning of the day for a traditional Jewish person. Between the evenings would be at this time or at dusk would be a better view of the wording. - SJS (6/5/2019 10:25:04 AM) Does anyone have a good understanding of "beyn ha arbayim" in this passage?
