All days are reckoned by their beginning at sundown, what would Jericho change about that?
Jericho was a 7 day battle.... one of those was a Sabbath day on man’s calendar..it has to be if the calendar is ‘continuous’.
YHWH, according to man’s calendars, allowed Israel’s men to violate the Sabbath? Or maybe somebody would have to see marching in war not as work.that is a stretch..
However, with the new moon rendering, there is no sabbath violation at the beginning of any Month in YHWH’s calendar.
The book of Jasher, referenced in Scripture notes details the battle of Jericho :
Book of Jasher, Chapter 88, starting with verse 14...
14 And it was in the Second month, on the FIRST day of the month(NEW MOON), that the Lord said to Joshua, Rise up, behold I have given Jericho into thy hand with all the people thereof; and all your fighting men shall go round the city, once each day, thus shall you do for six days.
15 And the priests shall blow upon trumpets, and when you shall hear the sound of the trumpet, all the people shall give a great shouting, that the walls of the city shall fall down; all the people shall go up every man against his opponent.
16 And Joshua did so according to all that the Lord had commanded him.
17 And on the seventh day they went round the city seven times, and the priests blew upon trumpets.
18 And at the seventh round, Joshua said to the people, Shout, for the Lord has delivered the whole city into our hands.
19 Only the city and all that it contains shall be accursed to the Lord, and keep yourselves from the accursed thing, lest you make the camp of Israel accursed and trouble it.
20 But all the silver and gold and brass and iron shall be consecrated to the Lord, they shall come into the treasury of the Lord.
21 And the people blew upon trumpets and made a great shouting, and the walls of Jericho fell down, and all the people went up, every man straight before him, and they took the city and utterly destroyed all that was in it, both man and woman, young and old, ox and sheep and ass, with the edge of the sword.
22 And they burned the whole city with fire; only the vessels of silver and gold, and brass and iron, they put into the treasury of the Lord.
23 And Joshua swore at that time, saying, Cursed be the man who builds Jericho; he shall lay the foundation thereof in his first-born, and in his youngest son shall he set up the gates thereof.
The seventh day of YHWH’s calendar is the sixth work day.
Ezekiel 46 explained it too:
YHWH’s design:
New moon(new month) day- day 1 of every month
Six work days- days 2,3,4,5,6, and 7th day of His month ( 7 days and no sabbath only occurs once each month in YHWH’s calendar- Jericho was completed on this day)
Seventh day Sabbath, the eighth day of His month.(no violation)
It is why Jericho, there was no sabbath violation with seven days of marching, especially with the last day ( the 7th day of His month, not week) being that the 7th day of the battle was the bloodiest...
The new moon starts a new month and that is why it is the same word in Hebrew.
Somewhere this was all lost ( when man’s calculations began to overtake YHWH creation- which is why we all are in this discussion with the mark of The beast- because it is all about worship)
The world, led by the political powers, secular powers and the christian/jewish religious powers ( Vatican And most if not all the Christian world and Jews accept the calendar premise) has been using man’s calculations and understandinngs and definitions to render our time and our worship..
Man tells us a day begins at midnight. Some argue like you and I when Scripture tells us when it begins, but at least we are different than the world.
The world tells us when a year begins but you and I know scripture says otherwise.
The world tells us when a week and month begins and I am convinced they are as wrong about the week and month as they are about the day and year. ( and I hope more people see it too)
scripture tells us in prophecy that he will try to change times and laws...
We are living in it if you ask me..
