Sorry for the delay. Have a look, and let me know if I have made a mistake or omission. Neville. Carl Felland <cfelland@xxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: Shalom Neville, I found two goofs and would like to add several more changes. In the Jewish versus Biblical Calendar chart it is the Jewish Calendar that incorporates postponements. No postponements are needed in a Biblical calendar because the High Sabbaths fall on the weekly Sabbaths. In the sections "How is the Jewish Calendar different from the Biblical calendar?" 1a) Remove the "although" at the end. New changes are listed below. Change "This presentation will examine new moons and weeks in the Biblical Calendar." to: This presentation will examine days, weeks and months in the Biblical Calendar. I have two frames titled "How is the Jewish Calendar different from the Biblical Calendar. These two should be combined as below in the right-hand frame. 1) Jewish days begin at about sunset; whereas, Biblical days begin with sunrise. a) The Jewish order is Night first and then Day. b) The Biblical order is Day first and then Night. 2) Jewish weeks are continuous, rather than being "reset" by the new moon. a) The planetary week we observe today is not the Biblical week. b) The phases of the moon relate to weeks. 3) Jewish months are independent of the actual new moon. a) The Jewish calendar is schematic with generally alternating 29 and 30 day months and thus is independent of the actual new moon. The first month of the year (Tishri) is based on the astronomical new moon, but postponements may result in delays of one or two days to prevent annual holidays from falling on certain days of the week. b) In contrast, historical evidence of early calendars and Biblical evidence points to the New Moon being one or two days long, based on the astronomical new moon. "These days were not reckoned at all." c) The Bible makes no provision for postponements in the beginning of months. The left-hand frame should be just: Days Weeks Months Towards the end of the article in the section "What is the role of the moon in the Biblical Calendar?" Change to "What are the roles of the sun and the moon in the Biblical Calendar?" Insert the following before "The moon is for seasons": The sun divides the day from the night. The night portion begins at sunset with dusk and ends with dawn. Dusk is the transition from light to darkness and dawn is the transition from darkness to light. Genesis 1:5 is literally "And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And there was dusk [following the creative work of the day] and there was dawn, day one." The second day is ready to begin with a new sunrise. In the section "New Moon" Change to The Biblical new moon is based on the astronomical new moon or 'conjunction.' At dawn on the twenty-eighth, just before sabbath on the twenty-ninth, the last crescent may or may not be visible. In general, if the crescent is not visible at this time, the conjunction will occur on the sabbath and the next day will be the New Moon day. If the crescent is visible at dawn on the twenty-eighth, the conjunction will occur on the thirtieth day of the month, making a two day New Moon.
