If we read the Bible, God’s days start at sunset. God’s months start with a new moon (lunar calendar). The Jews in the O.T. & N.T. followed God’s lunar calendar, based on the new moon. The seventh day, the Sabbath, was never on the same day on the lunar calendar.
For example, in the month of Passover in the year:
- 26 AD; on a Friday
- 27 AD; Wednesday
- 28 AD; Monday
- 29 AD; Saturday
- 30 AD; Wednesday
- 31 AD; Monday
- 32 AD; Monday
- 33 AD; Friday
- This year 2022; on a Friday.
Jer 52:4"…in the ninth year…in the tenth month…on the tenth day of the month
The whole Bible is full of examples like this. If you translate the Greek in Acts 20:7, it reads: "and on one of the Sabbaths…"
The writers of the Bible never used words like: "Friday, first day of the week or Week"
My question is: Why did our translators translate God’s word the way they did?
[PS! God did not give the days names, only His seventh day that He gave a name.
Thank you.]
