Night of 14^th

Introduction

Further studies to the article of "night to be much observed is the Passover" in which the Passover day was assumed as 13^th evening, which corresponds to18^th April 2008 needs correction. I do regret that I had not studied the fourteenth day as mentioned in the bible as we had assumed 13^th night as the Passover night all these years.

It should be the 14^th day.

According to the word of God, Passover is on the 19^th, 1^st day UB begins 19^th and ends 26^th April, seven days in all as is written.

Ex. 12: 6 ---And ye shall keep it up until the fourteenth day of the same month: and the whole assembly of the congregation of Israel shall kill it in the evening. (not when day began).

Lev. 23: 5-In the fourteenth day of the first month at even is the LORD'S Passover. ---

COUNTING 14 DAYS---

The fourteen days of Nisan—

Gen. 1: 5---And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.

Thus the month before Nisan which is Adar ends and Nisan starts—

Month before Nisan is Adar—it has 29 or 30 days (Feb-Mar)

And the evening and the morning were the first day.

First day of Nisan then starts from 29^th evening of Adar to 1^st Nisan evening. One day is completed in the evening of 1^st day.

This year New Year is on 6^th April –then that day began 5^th evening.

Day one—29^th evening (of Adar)/1^st day evening (of Nisan)----- 5^th/ 6^th evening April 2008

2^nd day--1/2^nd evening---------------6/7^th evening

3^rd day---2/3^rd evening---------------7/8^th evening

4^th day--3/4^th evening---------------8/9^th evening

5^th day--4/5^th evening---------------9/10^th evening

6^th day--5/6^th evening---------------10/11^th evening

7^th day--6/7^th evening---------------11/12^th evening

8^th day--7/8^th evening---------------12/13^th evening

9^th day--8/9^th evening---------------13/14^th evening

10^th day-9/10^th evening------------14/15^th evening

11^th day-10/11^th evening-----------15/16^th evening

12^th day-11/12^th evening-----------16/17^th evening

13^th day-12/13^th evening-----------17/18^th evening

14^th day-13/14^th evening-----------18/19^th evening

14^th evening is 19^th evening

14 days completed on 19^th evening this year (14^th evening)

Ex.12: 3, 6

Ex. 12: 6 ---And ye shall keep it up until the fourteenth day of the same month: and the whole assembly of the congregation of Israel shall kill it in the evening (at twilight). (Not when day began as it would be only 13 days).

14^TH DAY IN THE EVENING—NOT AT THE TIME THE DAY BEGAN!

14 DAYS COMPLETED ON 14^TH EVENING. THIS IS THE EVENING THAT IT SHOULD BE KILLED THEN! (This year ---19^th)

WE HAD ASSUMED THE EVENING AS THE BEGINNING OF 19^TH THIS YEAR WHICH IS 13^TH EVENING—KILLING WAS DONE AFTER COMPLETING 14 DAYS.----14^TH EVENING!

THEREFORE Passover SHOULD BE DURING 19^TH EVENING AND THEN THE NUMBER OF DAYS WILL BE CLEAR!

(Please note—when I wrote the "night to be much observed is Passover"--- I wrongly assumed the day as 13^th night as I thought all these years we had BEEN KEEPING the correct date! —but the bible makes it clear! —I do apologize for not calculating that part from the scriptures!----in the writings of "night to be much observed is Passover"—I wanted to make it clear that the PASSOVER NIGHT is the NIGHT TO BE MUCH OBSERVED AS IT WAS THE NIGHT OF SOLEMN OBSERVANCE TO THE LORD—EX 12: 42---Israel went in the night—Deut 16: 1--- DEUT.16: 1 --- keep the Passover unto the LORD thy God--the LORD thy God brought thee forth out of Egypt by night.--)

In these writings this night is explained again.

PASSOVER IS A MEMORIAL—A FEAST TO THE LORD

SEVEN DAYS OF UNLEAVENED BREAD--

Ex. 12:14--- And this day shall be unto you for a memorial; and ye shall keep it a feast to the LORD --a feast by an ordinance for ever.

15-- Seven days shall ye eat unleavened bread; even the first day ye shall put away leaven out of your houses:

16-- And in the first day there shall be an holy convocation, and in the seventh day there shall be an holy convocation to you;

Ex. 12:17 --And ye shall observe the feast of unleavened bread; for in this selfsame day have I brought your armies out of the land of Egypt: therefore shall ye observe this day –

A MEMORIAL –A FEAST TO THE LORD—7 DAYS ---1^ST DAY AND 7^TH DAY HOLY CONVOCATIONS.

14^TH DAY AT EVENING—at this time Passover lamb killed

UB begins 14^th evening when 15^th day starts---unleavened days from 15^th –unleavened bread should be eaten 7 days!-----please read on---

Lev. 23: 5-In the fourteenth day of the first month at even is the LORD'S Passover.---6 And on the fifteenth day of the same month is the feast of unleavened bread unto the LORD: seven days ye must eat unleavened bread.

Verse is repeated in---

Num 28; 16 --On the fourteenth day of the first month is the Passover of the LORD.--17 --'And on the fifteenth day of this month is the feast; unleavened bread shall be eaten for seven days.

De 16:8 "Six days you shall eat unleavened bread, and on the seventh day there shall be a sacred assembly (after Passover 6 days and the seventh day are seven days)

At the end of 14^th ---Passover lamb killed, and as the 15^th day starts from 14^th evening the 1^st day of Unleavened Bread starts too.

Ex. 12:17 --And ye shall observe the feast of unleavened bread; for in this selfsame day have I brought your armies out of the land of Egypt: therefore shall ye observe this day –

15^th day----14^th even to 15^th even (this year—19^th/20^th)

1^st day UB—14^TH/ 15^TH EVEN

2^ND DAY—15^TH /16^TH EVEN

3^RD DAY—16^TH/17 EVEN

4^TH DAY—17^TH/18^TH EVEN

5^TH DAY—18^TH /19^TH EVEN

6^TH DAY—19^TH/ 20^{TH EVEN}

7^TH DAY—20^TH/21^ST EVEN

EX 12: 18--In the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month at even, ye shall eat unleavened bread, until the one and twentieth day of the month at even.---IT IS SEVEN DAYS—

EX. 12: 19 --Seven days ---

COUNT FROM EVEN OF 14^TH DAY—TO—EVEN OF 21^ST DAY!

THIS YEAR 2008—EVEN OF 19^TH TO EVEN OF 26^TH APRIL!

19^TH EVEN/20—20/21—21/22—22/23—23/24—24/25—25/26 EVEN

7 days are over by even of 26^th April!

IF WE COUNT FROM 13^TH ----THEN IT WILL BE EIGHT DAYS! 8 days had been counted!

Passover EVENING SHOULD BE THE 19^TH AND NOT THE EVEN OF 18^TH!

Please keep the day as God makes you understand, as we are keeping it for the LORD as a memorial—if we had kept the wrong day—our merciful God would forgive us. He knows our hearts!

· Self same day---the same night Israel armies were brought out of the land!

DEUT.16: 1 --- keep the Passover unto the LORD thy God--the LORD thy God brought thee forth out of Egypt by night.

Ex. 12:17 --And ye shall observe the feast of unleavened bread; for in this selfsame day have I brought your armies out of the land of Egypt: therefore shall ye observe this day –

MOSES HAD TOLD NOT TO GO OUT UNTIL MORNING—BUT EGYPTIANS DROVE OFF THEM—THEY HAD TO LEAVE WHEN IT WAS STILL DARK—BY NIGHT-as the above verse says.

Darkness was called night—Ge.1: 5

Ex. 12--22---Moses had told them--- and none of you shall go out at the door of his house until the morning.

BUT----People could not wait until the morning –BECAUSE THEY WERE DRIVEN OUT—vs. 39--—they could not wait---nor were they prepared to go with foodstuffs—they could not wait until morning by which time they could have prepared!—see below--

EGYPTIANS DROVE OFF ISRAEL---

Ex. 12: 33--And the Egyptians were urgent upon the people, that they might send them out of the land in haste; for they said, We be all dead men.---34--And the people took their dough before it was leavened, their kneading troughs being bound up in their clothes upon their shoulders.

Ex 12: Vs 39----And they baked unleavened cakes of the dough which they had brought out of Egypt; for it was not leavened, because they were driven out of Egypt and could not wait, nor had they prepared provisions for themselves.

Gold and silver articles were borrowed from Egyptians from neighbors—Ex. 3: 22

They did not have to go far to collect them!

Interpreter's Dictionary of the Bible says----The exodus started at night (of the 14^th after midnight). But they did not actually leave Egypt, because they were in Rameses the next day, and it took 2 more days to get to Succoth.

MOSES RECORDED THE DATES---

Num. 33: 3-- And they departed from Rameses in the first month, on the fifteenth day of the first month; on the morrow after the passover the children of Israel went out with an high hand in the sight of all the Egyptians.

4- For the Egyptians buried all their firstborn, which the LORD had smitten among them: upon their gods also the LORD executed judgments.

RAMESES---if you look at a map—when all people had to gather at Rameses to start the journey, they had to leave their homes may be during the 1^st or 2^nd watches of the morning as they lived in Goshen, a large area from where came 600,000 men apart from women and children (Ex 12:37). These people had to gather from areas like Memphis, Heliopolis, Zoan and so on!

ALL PRAISE BE TO THE LORD GOD WHO SAVES HIS PEOPLE. AMEN.
