>> We’ve already been down this road. See post 65. So why do you bring it up again, pretending that it doesn’t exist? Do you see the word “ebdomav”, meaning weeks in Greek, in any Greek Bible of the NT? If and when you find it, let me know. I’m not going to hold my breath. <<
Because amidst your doznes of citations of the word “ebdoma,” I didn’t ONCE see anything to do with demonstrating the use of “first of the Sabbaths’” has anything to do with seven weeks of penetcosts, that’s why. Did YOU not read MY post #75?

>> My King James says Luke 6:1,2 “… second sabbath after the first … plucked …corn …. Not lawful to do on the sabbath days?” <<
What I SAID was that “mia ton sabbatOn” means “the Sabbaths’ first.” I also said that “Ebdomas” means a group of seven, so it is often used to translate “Shabywa,” meaning “sevens” in the Old Testament.
The greek text of Luke 6:1,2 reads, “egeveto (happened) de (now) en (on) sabbato (sabbath) diaporeysthai (passing or ending)”
I have no idea why the King James translation says what it does, other than they interpreted the “dia-” to mean “second.” There certainly is nothing meaning anything “after the first.” And if the King James version took “dia” to mean “second,” they made an inconceivable mistake. “Poreysthai” means “going”. “Diaporeysthai” means “passing.” Nothing which can be taken to mean “second,” “first” or “after” appear in the Greek.
And the word “sabbato” is used, not “sabbatOn.”
