Thank you for posting your teaching I have learned so much from watching. I started the the apocrypha‘s and now I’m just going through your playlist. Thank you thank you ❤
The feasts of Unleavened Bread and Sukkot are on the 15th day of their respective months. It is possible that Shavuot being one of the migration holy days to Jerusalem would be on the 15th day of the month as well.
Essene or Jubilees Calendar 52 weeks plus 12 months of 30 days each=360 days but Solar Year is 365.24 One extra day added to make a 31 days in months 3,6,9,12 No known provision for the .24 day per year being lost (leap year, etc.) Source James Tabor
I’ve always wondered why shavuot falls out on such a strange date in the month... most of our holidays center around the 15th ( full moon, I’m sure that there’s no coincidence about that. HaShem knows what he’s doing ) so this is extremely interesting. Thank you for sharing rabbi
2:50 remember to mention that the offering of bread, unlike all of other sacrificial offerings involving bread, the two loaves of bread are both leavened. the bread at hag matzot was unleavened.
0:08 historically, yes. if one examines the account in exodus 19, the giving of the torah fell on sivan 6. however, in lev 23, shavuot is not given a specific date but has to be counted up 50 days from the day after the WEEKLY sabbath of the festival of the matzot. like the weekly sabbath, it is the only commanded mo'ed that does not have fixed date but fixed day of the week. the weekly sabbath is for the seventh day of the week; and, the shavuot is on the first day of the week. in the greek account, it was on shavuot that the gift of the holy spirit was given to believers as prophesied by joel.
22:35 nowhere in vayikra 23 is any moed called the shabbat although yom kippurim is to be observed LIKE the weekly shabbath (v32). natural reading therefore of the "shabbat" in vayikra 23:11 שַּׁבָּ֔ת and 15 שַּׁבָּ֔ת (seven complete sabbaths) could only mean the same shabbat in vayikra 23:3 שַׁבַּ֤ת. the natural reading here is that there were 7 seventh-days between the waving of the omer and shavuot.
It is reversed. The Ethiopian Jewish kingdom preceded Xtianity by over 900 years. Likely the Book of Jubilees was in their holy texts, and the Ethiopian Xtian Church likely received their "Old Testament" from the Ethiopian Jewish kingdom.
1:50 amen. i found the same truth. nowhere in the tanakh is sivan 6 connected with shavuot. pesach has a fixed date, hag matzoh has a fixed date, yom teruah has a fixed date, yom kippurim has a fixed date; hag sukkot has a fixed date. only the weekly sabbath and shavuot do not have fixed dates. this is another distinctive feature of the weekly sabbath: it is not subject to human calendars, not even rabbinic calendar. it was started in creation, as part of a weekly cycle of seven days that is embedded in creation. note that its beginning and end is not subject to the 24-hour cycle like days of human calendars are. hashem appointed the reckoning of the start of the sabbath at sunset. this varies every day!!! also, it does not matter what time the sun sets unless it is the day a commanded moed is scheduled. the sabbath leads the list of commanded moedim. it is understood by those who lived in the 1st century believers in hashem as the symbol of the eternal rest that still remains to be entered.
Personally, I believe it should be seen as a genuine Midrash. I spoke a lot more about it in the Apocrypha series here: ru-vid.com/group/PLS68IUQOA2iuZJjA3fW8sM20CZQ-ZVZjX
wait Moses wrote the Tanakh while they wandered in the wilderness? wow! and then he dead after finishing, thats so heartbreaking. I cant imagine losing the guy who led you out of egypt and having to go into the land Hashem has promised. They must have been so scared and confused.
