Huh?? My English translation of Bereshith in chapter 1 verse 5 it says "and the evening and the morning were the first day" (until the next sunset, that is). Then there are 5 more yoms=24-hour days until the last sundown of this cycle. The next sundown will begin the first day of the next week=heptad=shabua of days.
Did that not come across in what I said? I must not have communicated clearly, or else my text was not read with that obvious meaning in view. Sunday is not Shabbas=Sabbath, as some call it (wrongly). Therefore, Shabbas is the seventh yom (I did use "yom" before, didn't I) .
And ina secular Gentile's world, the 24-hour day does not begin at sunup, it begins at 12:00 AM midnight. Although sometimes it is said of sunup, "the day is come"; and that saying is the same for either system. And, not being nosy, but your knowledge of this comes from ... what?
With regard --
I am not sure what your point is, but the fact is that the Sabbath starts at sunset on Friday.
Sunset Friday to sunset Saturday is the first day of the week.
Saturday marks the first day of the week, not Sunday. Sunday is the second day of the week. That is what Jesus observed and how God planned things, so it is irrelevant what your English definition says.
And that is what I was posting about. Not sure what you are posting about. :shrug:
