[geocentrism] Re: Three days and three nights

Neville,

As I cover in the overview, the primary Scriptural evidence is the 
passage with the most extensive discussion of a new moon celebration, 1 
Samuel 20.  There is no controversy that this passage describes a two 
day feast.  Some translations such as the MSG on e-sword (I don't know 
what it is at the moment) or the first edition of Green's Interlinear, 
for example, translate verse 27 as below (or "second day of the new 
moon") rather than the more traditional (or politically correct, I 
think) "second day of the month."

1Sa 20:27  But the day after the New Moon, day two of the holiday, 
David's seat was still empty. Saul asked Jonathan his son, "So where's 
that son of Jesse? He hasn't eaten with us either yesterday or today."

Plus, if the four weeks fit in each month there are going to be two 
extra days about every other month.  I think this also shows in the 
count to Pentecost and some of the other counts in the Scriptures.   As 
I say, this is quite foreign to our thinking, but I believe there is 
both Scriptural and historic evidence.

Also, day is not always just 24 hours as in Genesis 2:4.
