Should the Passover be celebrated on the 14th or 15th of Abib/Nisan

PASSOVER 14th or 15th

FIRST PASSOVER

Exodus 12

“1.The Lord said to Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt, ²“This month shall be for you the beginning of months. It shall be the first month of the year for you. ³Tell all the congregation of Israel that on the tenth day of this month every man shall take a lamb according to their fathers’ houses, a lamb for a household. ⁴And if the household is too small for a lamb, then he and his nearest neighbor shall take according to the number of persons; according to what each can eat you shall make your count for the lamb. ⁵Your lamb shall be without blemish, a male a year old. You may take it from the sheep or from the goats,

6 You must watch over it until the fourteenth day of the same month. Then the whole assembly of the congregation of Israel is to slaughter it at twilight. [b] 7 They are to take the blood and put it on the two doorposts and on the crossbeam of the houses where they will eat it. 8 They are to eat the meat that night, roasted over a fire. With matzot and bitter herbs[c] they are to eat it.

9 Do not eat any of it raw or boiled with water, but only roasted with fire—its head with its legs and its innards. 10 So let nothing of it remain until the morning. Whatever remains until the morning you are to burn with fire. 11 Also you are to eat it this way: with your loins girded, your shoes on your feet and your staff in your hand. You are to eat it in haste. It is Adonai’s Passover.12 “For I will go through the land of Egypt on that night and strike down every firstborn, both men and animals, and I will execute judgments against all the gods of Egypt. I am Adonai. 13 The blood will be a sign for you on the houses where you are.[d] When I see the blood, I will pass over you. So there will be no plague among you to destroy you when I strike the land of Egypt. 14 “This day is to be a memorial for you.[e] You are to keep it as a feast to Adonai. Throughout your generations you are to keep it as an eternal ordinance.”

Kept until the 14th, Slaughtered at twilight, Eaten that night with unleavened bread and bitter herbs, Nothing should remain until the morning, at midnight the angel pass over the Israelites home, This day was a memorial forever throughout their generation. Exodus 12:6-14. All this took place on the 14th night.
Leviticus 23: 5 During the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month at twilight, is Adonai’s Passover.

Comments: This twilight or evening is on the 14th not the 15th. It is clear that this passage is saying that passover is on the 14th not the 15th. At this point Passover and Unleavened Bread Feast are 2 different feast, one on the 14th and the other on the 15th. We know the biblical days start at evening, hence the twilight of the 14th cannot be the evening that begins the 15th or else the passover would be on the 15th and not the 14th according to the text. The moment sun sets after the 14th day begins the 15th day

The 15th begins the Feast of Matzot (Unleavened Bread)

Leviticus 23: 6 On the fifteenth day of the same month is the Feast of Matzot to Adonai. For seven days you are to eat matzah. 7 On the first day you are to have a holy convocation and you should do no regular work. 8 Instead you are to present an offering made by fire to Adonai for seven days. On the seventh day is a holy convocation, when you are to do no regular work.

Comments: note here that the 15th day is the Feast of Matzot and it is also a Shabbat. The 14th day was not a Shabbat. The Passover was not a Shabbat but the first day of Matzot was a Shabbat. In verse 8 it also teaches that this feast had a different offering to the Passover offering.

These are the different offerings on the the 14th and 15th day of Nissan:

Numbers 28
16 “On the fourteenth day of the first month is Adonai’s Passover.

17 On the fifteenth day, there is to be a feast. For seven days, matzot will be eaten. 18 You are to hold a sacred assembly on the first day. You are not to do any laborious work. 19 You are to offer to Adonai burnt offering by fire, two young bulls, one ram and seven male lambs a year old. They are to be flawless. 20 You are to offer their grain offering of fine flour mixed with oil, three tenths of an ephah per bull, two tenths per ram, 21 and one tenth per each of the seven lambs, 22 plus one goat for a sin offering to atone for yourselves. [b] 23 In addition to the morning burnt offering and regular burnt offering, you are to offer these. 24 Just like this you are to offer each day, for seven days, the food to be offered by fire for each day as a pleasing aroma to Adonai, beside the regular burnt offering with its drink offering. 25 On the seventh day, you are to have a sacred assembly, and you are to do no laborious work.

Just in case we forget how the Passover should be offered here is the instructions.

Exodus 12:

7 They are to take the blood and put it on the two doorposts and on the crossbeam of the houses where they will eat it. 8 They are to eat the meat that night, roasted over a fire. With matzot and bitter herbs[c] they are to eat it. 9 Do not eat any of it raw or boiled with water, but only roasted with fire—its head with its legs and its innards. 10 So let nothing of it remain until the morning. Whatever remains until the morning you are to burn with fire. 11 Also you are to eat it this way: with your loins girded, your shoes on your feet and your staff in your hand. You are to eat it in haste. It is Adonai’s Passover.

What actually happened on the 14th night, let us read in Exodus 12

21 Then Moses called for all the elders of Israel and said to them, “Go, select lambs for your families and slaughter the Passover lamb. [g] 22 You are to take a bundle of hyssop, dip it in the blood that is in the basin, and apply it to the crossbeam and two doorposts with the blood from the basin. None of you may go out the door of his house until morning. 23 Adonai will pass through to strike down the Egyptians, but when He sees the blood on the crossbeam and the two doorposts, Adonai will pass over that door, and will not allow the destroyer to come into your houses to strike you down. 24 Also you are to observe this event as an eternal ordinance, for you and your children.

28 Then Bnei-Yisrael went and did it. They did just as Adonai had commanded Moses and Aaron. 29 So it came about at midnight that Adonai struck down all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, from the firstborn of Pharaoh sitting on his throne to the firstborn of the captive who was in the dungeon, and all the firstborn cattle.[h]

30 Then Pharaoh rose up in the night, he and all his servants and all the Egyptians, and there was loud wailing in Egypt. For there was not a house where someone was not dead. 31 So he called for Moses and Aaron at night and said, “Rise up, go out from my people, both you and

Bnei-Yisrael, go, serve Adonai as you have said. 32 Take your flocks and your herds, as you said, and be gone! But bless me, too.”

Comments: All this took place on the night of the 14th into the day part of the 14th. Why? 1. Verse 22 None of you may go out the door of his house until morning.
When it was Morning the children of Israel were instructed to go and spoil the Egyptians.

33 Now the Egyptians urged the people, sending them out of the land quickly, for they thought, “We will all be dead!” 34 So the people took their dough before it was leavened, with their kneading bowls bound up in their clothes on their shoulders. 35 So Bnei-Yisrael acted according to the word of Moses. They asked the Egyptians for articles of silver and gold, and for clothing. 36 Adonai gave the people favor in the eyes of the Egyptians and let them have what they asked for. So they plundered the Egyptians.

Note: Remember there were over 3 million Israelites, to organize all their belongings, livestocks, and still spoil the Egyptians took all day until the evening of the next day. That night was the 15th, the Feast of Matzot.

Proof Texts; Number 33:
3 Bnei-Yisrael set out from Rameses on the fifteenth day of the first month, the first day after

Passover.

Did they leave Ramses in the morning of the 15th or the Night?

Deut. 16:

1 “Observe the month of Aviv and keep the Passover to Adonai your God, for in the month of Aviv[a] Adonai your God brought you out from Egypt by night.

Comments: Numbers 33: 3 states that the children of Israel left Ramses on the 15th day. The first day after the Passover events. Deut. 16 states that they left at night, on the 15th. If they left Egypt on the 15th which was the day after the Passover, then the 15th could not be the night they ate the Passover. Or else they would have left Egypt before they ate the Passover. They could not leave the same night they ate the Passover. Because the night of the Passover was when they ate the Lamb and at midnight the death angel slaughtered the Egyptian firstborn and pass over the homes of the Israelites. Therefore they left Egypt the 15th at night, the night after the Passover which took place on the 14th, the night before.

The Feast of Matzot was to celebrate the departing of the Israelite from Egypt

Exodus 12
15 For seven days you are to eat matzot, but on the first day you must remove hametz from your houses,[f] for whoever eats hametz from the first day until the seventh day, that soul will be cut off from Israel. 16 The first day is to be a holy assembly for you as well as the seventh day. No manner of work is to be done on those days, except what is to be eaten by every person—

that alone may be prepared by you. 17 So you are to observe the Feast of Matzot, for on this very same day have I brought your ranks out of the land of Egypt. Therefore you are to observe this day throughout your generations as an eternal ordinance.

Note: Verse 17 shows that the Feast of Matzot was the same day they left Egypt. This day is the15th at night, the day after the Passover. So Israel ate the Passover on the 14th night and left Egypt on the 15th night.

The departing of Egypt

Exodus 12

37 Then Bnei-Yisrael journeyed from Rameses to Succoth, about 600,000 men on foot, as well as children.
38 Also a mixed multitude went up with them, along with the flocks, herds and heavy livestock.

40 Now the time that Bnei-Yisrael lived in Egypt was 430 years. 41 So it happened at the end of 430 years, to the very day, that all the armies of Adonai went out from the land of Egypt. 42 It was a night of watching for Adonai to bring them out of the land of Egypt. This same night is a night of vigil for Adonai, for all Bnei-Yisrael throughout their generations.

Comments:

That night of departure was 15th night after the Passover, which begun the Feast of Matzot. A special night called the Night of Watching, or Vigil for Adonai.

What is the meaning of twilight?

Passover in Egypt and in the wilderness were kept on the 14th night. Slaughtered at Twilight the beginning of 14th and eaten on the 14th night. The hebrew scriptures use the words Bayin Ha arbayim occurs only 11 times in the Tanach (scriptures).

I would like submit that the others references to the evening is use to separate a new day

Ba Ereb

evening
NASB Translation
evening (114), evening* (1), evenings (2), every evening (1), night (2), sunset (1), twilight (11).

Exodus 12
18 During the first month in the evening of the fourteenth day of the month, you are to eat matzot, until the evening of the twenty-first day of the month. 19 For seven days no hametz is to be found in your houses, for whoever eats hametz, that soul will be cut off from the congregation of Israel, whether he is an outsider or one who is born in the land.

Exodus 12:18
י֤וֹם לַחֹ֙דֶשׁ֙ בָּעֶ֔רֶב תֹּאכְל֖וּ מַצֹּ֑ת :HEB
NAS: of the month at evening, you shall eat

KJV: of the month at even, ye shall eat
INT: day of the month evening shall eat unleavened

comment: Verse 18 is stating that from the fourteenth when sunset to commence the the 15th you art to eat Motzot for 7 days. It starts from the 15th to the end of the 21st at sunset which begins the 22nd night. The 15th to the end of the 21st is the 7 days of Matzot.

The word Ereb is use to begin a new day from the date given. That is why Bayin Ha arbayim between the evenings is used for the other references above and not Ereb “sunset” which begins a new day.

Other examples: Leviticus 23

Leviticus 23:32
בְּתִשְׁעָ֤ה לַחֹ֙דֶשׁ֙ בָּעֶ֔רֶב מֵעֶ֣רֶב עַד־ :HEB
NAS: of the month at evening, from evening KJV: [day] of the month at even, from even
INT: the ninth of the month evening evening until

27 “However, the tenth day of this seventh month is Yom Kippur,[f] a holy convocation to you, so you are to afflict yourselves. You are to bring an offering made by fire to Adonai. 28 You are not to do any kind of work on that set day, for it is Yom Kippur, to make atonement for you before Adonai your God. 29 For anyone who does not deny himself on that day must be cut off from his people. 30 Anyone who does any kind of work on that day, that person I will destroy from among his people. 31 You should do no kind of work. It is a statute forever throughout your generations in all your dwellings. 32 It is to be a Shabbat of solemn rest for you, and you are to humble your souls. On the ninth day of the month in the evening—from evening until evening—you are to keep your Shabbat.”

Comments:

Verse 32 is stating that from the 9th day when evening comes at sunset starts the Shabbat for Yom Kippur the 10th day. So at the end of the 9th day at sunset begins the 10th day Shabbat for Yom Kippur.

This can be very confusing if we don’t realize that Ereb is use to begin a new day and Bayin Ha arbayim is use to show that the event occurred on the same day, within that time, not outside that time “between the evenings.”

So This is the big Question ???
Why do the Jews today celebrate the Passover on the 15th and not on the 14th?

Answer: Because they were commanded by God to do so!! Here is the proof:
Deut. 12

8 You will not do all the things as we are doing here today—everyone doing what is right in his own eyes. 9 For you have not yet come to the resting place and the inheritance that Adonai your God is giving you. 10 But when you cross over the Jordan and settle in the land that Adonai your God enables you to inherit, and He gives you rest from all your enemies around you, you will dwell in safety.

11 “Then the place Adonai your God chooses to make His Name dwell, there you are to bring all that I command you—your burnt offerings and your sacrifices, your tithes, the offering of your hand, and all your finest vow offerings that you vow to Adonai. 12 Then you will rejoice before Adonai your God—you and your sons and daughters, your slaves and maids, and the Levite in your towns, for he has no portion or inheritance among you. 13 Be careful that you do not offer your burnt offerings in any place you see. 14 Rather do so only in the place Adonai chooses in one of your tribes—there you are to offer your burnt offerings, and there you are to do all I am commanding you.

Deut 16
1 “Observe the month of Aviv and keep the Passover to Adonai your God, for in the month of Aviv[a] Adonai your God brought you out from Egypt by night. 2 You are to sacrifice the Passover offering to Adonai your God, from the flock and the herd, in the place Adonai chooses to make His Name dwell. 3 You are not to eat hametz with it. For seven days you are to eat matzot with it, the bread of affliction—for you came out from the land of Egypt in haste. Do this so that all the days of your life you will remember the day when you came out from the land of Egypt. 4 No hametz should be seen with you in all your territory for seven days, and none of the meat you sacrifice on the evening of the first day may be left overnight until the morning. 5 You may not sacrifice the Passover offering within any of your gates that Adonai your God is giving you. 6 Rather, at the place Adonai your God chooses to make His Name dwell, there you will sacrifice the Passover offering in the evening at sunset—the time of your coming out from Egypt. 7 You are to cook and eat it at the place Adonai your God chooses, then you will turn around in the morning and journey home. 8 For six days you are to eat matzot. On the seventh day there is to be a solemn gathering for Adonai your God—on it you are to do no work.

The Passover was now commanded to be kept on the day that they left Egypt on the 15th.
The Passover sacrifice was now combined with the offerings on the 15th day according to verse 2.

They now slaughtered Them on the 14th, but eaten on the 15th with the bullocks from the herds. Because now, only the priest could slaughter them and not the whole congregation, also they all had to eat it at Jerusalem the place that God chose. This change was necessary because of the priesthood and the Temple.

This is where they had to combine the offerings. from the flock and the Herd
2 You are to sacrifice the Passover offering to Adonai your God, from the flock and the herd, in the place Adonai chooses to make His Name dwell.

Numbers 28
16 “On the fourteenth day of the first month is Adonai’s Passover. 17 On the fifteenth day, there is to be a feast. For seven days, matzot will be eaten. 18 You are to hold a sacred assembly on the first day. You are not to do any laborious work. 19 You are to offer to Adonai burnt offering by fire, two young bulls, one ram and seven male lambs a year old. They are to be flawless. 20 You

are to offer their grain offering of fine flour mixed with oil, three tenths of an ephah per bull, two tenths per ram, 21 and one tenth per each of the seven lambs, 22 plus one goat for a sin offering to atone for yourselves.

King Josiah did it exactly as commanded here.

2 Chronicles 35

1 Josiah celebrated Passover unto Adonai in Jerusalem. They slaughtered the Passover lamb on the fourteenth day of the first month.

5 Stand in the holy place by the divisions of the ancestral houses, by sons of the people and by divisions of ancestral houses of the Levites. 6 Now sanctify yourselves, slaughter the Passover lamb and prepare it for your kinsmen, according to the word of Adonai by the hand of Moses.”

7 Josiah provided for all the people who were present, flocks of lambs and goats totaling 30,000, all for the Passover offerings, as well as 3,000 bulls—all from the king’s possessions.

8 His officials also gave a freewill offering to the people, the kohanim and the Levites. Hilkiah, Zechariah and Jehiel—the administrators of the House of God—donated to the kohanim 2,600 Passover offerings, and 300 bulls. 9 Likewise, Conaniah along with Shemaiah and Nethaniel, his brothers, and Hashabiah, Jeiel and Jozabad, leaders of the Levites, provided 5,000 Passover lambs for the Levites and 500 bulls.

10 So the avodah was prepared and the kohanim stood at their posts with the Levites in their divisions according to the king’s command. 11 They slaughtered the Passover lambs and while the kohanim sprinkled the blood handed to them, the Levites flayed them. 12 Then they removed the portions to be burnt to give them to the divisions of ancestral houses of the people to present to Adonai, as it is written in the book of Moses. They did the same with the bulls. 13 They roasted the Passover lambs with fire according to the ordinance, then boiled the sacred parts in pots, caldrons and pans, and brought them quickly to all the people. 14 Afterward, they made preparations for themselves and for the kohanim, because the kohanim, the sons of Aaron, were busy sacrificing the burnt offerings and the fat until nightfall. So the Levites made preparations for themselves and for the kohanim, the sons of Aaron.

The process for the priest to slaughter all those lambs and bullocks would no doubt continue into the15th nightfall. that is why they combined the 2 sacrifice and start slaughtering from the afternoon of the 14th and eat the meal on the 15th night the day that they left Egypt.

The Slaughtering of the Passover Always occurs on the 14th day. Within the 14th day or between the evenings from sun set 13th to sunset 14th.

King Hezekiah’s Passover

2 Chronicles 30:15 Then they slaughtered the Passover lamb on the fourteenth day of the second month. The kohanim and the Levites were ashamed and consecrated themselves and brought burnt offerings into the House of Adonai.

Ezra’s Passover

Ezra 6

19 The exiles celebrated the Passover on the fourteenth day of the first month, 20 for every one of the kohanim and the Levites had purified themselves and all of them were ceremonially pure. They slaughtered the Passover lamb for all the exiles, and for their fellow kohanim and for themselves. 21 So those of Bnei-Yisrael who had returned from the exile ate it, together with all who had separated themselves from the impurity of the nations of the land to seek Adonai the God of Israel. 22 They celebrated the Feast of Matzot with joy for seven days, because Adonai had given them joy and had changed the heart of the king of Assyria toward them so as to strengthen their hands in the work on the House of God, the God of Israel.

Ezekiel Millennium Temple Ezekiel 45

21 “In the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month, you will have the Passover, a feast of seven days when matzah will be eaten.

Joshua and the children of Israel Passover. Joshua 5

10 While Bnei-Yisrael camped at Gilgal[a], they observed Passover on the evening of the fourteenth day of the month in the plains of Jericho. 11 On the day after the Passover, on that very day, they ate of the produce of the land, matzot and roasted grain.

12 Then the manna ceased on the day after they had eaten of the produce of the land. Bnei- Yisrael had manna no longer, but ate some of the yield of the land of Canaan that year.

Joshua 5:10
י֥וֹם לַחֹ֛דֶשׁ בָּעֶ֖רֶב בְּעַֽרְב֥וֹת יְרִיחֽוֹ׃ :HEB
NAS: the Passover on the evening of the fourteenth KJV: of the month at even in the plains
INT: day of the month the evening the desert of Jericho

Comment:

This evening is Ba Ereb in the hebrew, which is sunset of the 14th which brings the 15th.
The day after, they ate from the produce of the land. So that day had to be the 16th of Abib that they ate from the land. They slaughtered the Passover on the 14th and eat it on the 15th The unleavened bred Shabbat. The next day which was the 16th they ate from the land and the manner ceased.

They could not eat from the land on the 15th because that was a shabbat, also they were not supposed to eat from the produce of the land with roasted grain until they wave the Omer Barley which takes place after the Shabbat.

Levitcus 23

14 You are not to eat bread, roasted grain, or fresh grain until this same day—until you have brought the offering of your God. It is a statute forever throughout your generations in all your dwellings.

15 “Then you are to count from the morrow after the Shabbat, from the day that you brought the omer[c] of the wave offering, seven complete Shabbatot.

This proves that they slaughtered lamb on the 14th and the 14th evening (sunset) was the beginning of the 15th night when they ate the Passover. That 15th night they celebrated Passover and Unleavened Bread together which was a Shabbat. Then the next day they offer the Omer and wave the first fruit of barley and eat the produce and roosted grain from the land. Then the Manna ceased.

This Proves that Passover was celebrated on the 14th and the 15th of Nissan

Thats why Yeshua kept the Passover with his disciples on the 14th and the Jews kept the Passover on the 15th. Both were commanded and instituted by God and Yeshua fulfilled both of them.

This is how!!!

Mathew’s account:

Mathew 26
17 Now on the first day of matzah,[c] the disciples came to Yeshua, saying, “Where do You want

us to prepare for You to eat the Passover?”

18 He said, “Go into the city to a certain man, and tell him, ‘The Teacher says, “My time is near; at your house I am to keep the Passover with My disciples.”’” 19 The disciples did as Yeshua had ordered them, and they prepared the Passover.[d]

20 Now when it was evening, Yeshua was reclining at the table with the Twelve. 21 As they were eating, He said, “Amen, I tell you, one of you will betray Me.”

47 While Yeshua was still speaking, here came Judah, one of the Twelve, and with him a big crowd with swords and clubs, from the ruling kohanim and elders of the people. 48 Now His betrayer had given them a sign, saying, ‘The One I kiss, He’s the One—seize Him!’ 49 And immediately Judah drew near[k] to Yeshua and said, “Shalom, Rabbi!” and kissed Him.

59 Now the ruling kohanim and all the Sanhedrin kept trying to get false testimony against Yeshua so they could put Him to death. 60 But they found none, though many false witnesses came forward. At last two came for

Matthew 27

1 When daybreak came, the ruling kohanim and elders of the people conspired against Yeshua to put Him to death. 2 And they tied Him up, led Him away, and handed Him over to Pilate, the governor.

45 Now from the sixth hour, darkness fell upon all the land until the ninth hour. [k] 46 About the ninth hour Yeshua cried out with a loud voice, saying, “Eli, Eli, lema sabachthani?”[l] that is, “My God, My God, why have You abandoned Me?”
46 About the ninth hour Yeshua cried out with a loud voice, saying, “Eli, Eli, lema sabachthani?”[l] that is, “My God, My God, why have You abandoned Me?”

50 And Yeshua cried out again with a loud voice and gave up His spirit.
51 And behold, the curtain[n] of the Temple was split in two, from top to bottom. And the earth

quaked and rocks were split apart. Comments:

All this took place on the 14th of Nisan. Yeshua died at 3 o clock pm on the 14th within the time when they would Slaughter the lamb.

Mark’s account:

Mark 14
12 Now on the first day of matzah, when they were slaughtering the Passover lamb, Yeshua’s

disciples say to Him, “Where do You want us to go and prepare for You to eat the Passover?”

13 He sends two of His disciples and tells them, “Go into the city, and a man carrying a jar of water will meet you. Follow him, 14 and wherever he enters, tell the homeowner, ‘The Teacher says, “Where is My guest room, where I may eat the Passover with My disciples?”’ 15 He will show you a large upper room, furnished and ready. Make preparations for us there.”

16 The disciples went out, came to the city, and found just what Yeshua had told them. And they prepared the Passover. 17 When it was evening, He came with the Twelve. 18 As they were reclining and eating, Yeshua said, “Amen, I tell you, one of you who is eating with Me will betray Me.”

53 Then they led Yeshua away to the kohen gadol. And all the ruling kohanim, elders, and Torah scholars gathered. 54 Peter had followed Him from a distance, right into the courtyard of the kohen gadol. He was sitting with the guards, warming himself by the fire.

55 Now the ruling kohanim and all the Sanhedrin kept trying to get evidence against Yeshua so they could put Him to death, but they weren’t finding any.

Mark 15

1 Right at daybreak, the ruling kohanim held a meeting to consult with the elders and Torah scholars and the whole Sanhedrin. They tied up Yeshua, led Him away, and handed Him over to Pilate.

33 When the sixth hour had come, darkness fell over the whole land until the ninth hour. [g] 34 At the ninth hour Yeshua cried out with a loud voice, “Eloi, Eloi, lema sabachthani?”[h] which is translated, “My God, My God, why have You abandoned Me?”[i]

35 When some of the bystanders heard it, they began saying, “Look, He’s calling for Elijah.” 36 Then someone ran and filled a sponge with sour wine. He put it on a stick and was offering it to Yeshua to drink, saying, “Wait, let’s see if Elijah comes to take Him down.” 37 But letting out a loud cry, Yeshua breathed His last.

38 Then the curtain[j] of the Temple was split in two, from top to bottom.

42 Now evening had already come. Since it was the Day of Preparation, that is, the day before Shabbat, 43 Joseph of Arimathea, a respected council member who himself was waiting for the kingdom of God, went boldly to Pilate and asked for Yeshua’s body.

44 Pilate was surprised that He was already dead. Summoning the centurion, he asked him whether Yeshua had been dead for long. 45 When Pilate learned this from the centurion, he granted the body to Joseph. 46 Joseph bought a linen cloth, took Him down, wrapped Him in the linen, and laid Him in a tomb that had been cut out of the rock. Then he rolled a stone against the door of the tomb. 47 Miriam from Magdala and Miriam the mother of Joses were watching where Yeshua’s body was placed.

Comments:

These events also happened on the 14th of Nisan which Mark calls in Chapter 14 verse
12 the first day of matzah, when they were slaughtering the Passover lamb. Yeshua eat the passover with his desciples and died at 3 o Clock the on the 14th. This day was also called the day of the preparation of the Sabbath, so this day could not be the 15th because the 15th was a Sabbath. Yeshua died on the 14th when they would slaughter the Passover

Luke’s account

Luke 22

1 Now the Feast of Matzah, which is called Passover, was approaching. 2 The ruling kohanim and Torah scholars were searching for a way to do away with Yeshua, for they were afraid of the people.

7 Then came the day of matzah when the Passover lamb had to be sacrificed. 8 Now Yeshua sent Peter and John, saying, “Go and prepare the Passover for us, so we may eat.”

9 Then they said to Him, “Where do You want us to prepare?”

10 And He said to them, “Behold, when you have entered the city, a man carrying a jar of water will meet you. Follow him into the house that he enters. 11 And say to the owner of the house, ‘The Teacher says to you, “Where is the guest room where I may eat the Passover with My disciples?”’ 12 And with that, he will show you a large upper room, fully furnished. Make preparations there.” 13 So they left and found just what Yeshua had told them, and they prepared the Passover.

The Seder in the Upper Room
14 When the hour came, Yeshua reclined at table, and the emissaries with Him. 15 And He said to them, “I have eagerly desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer. 16 For I tell you, I will never eat it again until it is fulfilled in the kingdom of God.”

47 While Yeshua was speaking, suddenly a crowd came, and the one called Judah, one of the Twelve, approached Yeshua to kiss Him. 48 But Yeshua said to him, “Judah, with a kiss you betray the Son of Man?”[e]

54 Then they seized Yeshua and led Him away and brought Him into the house of the kohen gadol. But Peter was following from a distance.

66 As it become day, the elders of the people gathered together, both ruling kohanim and Torah scholars, and they led Him away to their council, saying, 67 “If You are Mashiach, tell us.

Luke 23

1 Then the entire assembly got up and brought Yeshua to Pilate. 2 And they began to accuse Him, saying, “We found this fellow subverting our nation, forbidding payment of taxes to Caesar and saying that He Himself is Messiah—a king.”

44 It was now about the sixth hour, and darkness fell over the whole land until the ninth hour, [k] 45 for the sun died out. And the curtain[l] of the Temple was torn in two.

46 And Yeshua, crying out with a loud voice, said, “Father, ‘into Your hands I entrust My spirit.’”[m] When He had said this, He breathed His last.

50 Now there was a man named Joseph, a council member, a good and righteous man. 51 (He had not been in agreement with the council and their action.) He was from the Judean town of Arimathea, and he was waiting for the kingdom of God. 52 This man went to Pilate and asked for Yeshua’s body. 53 And he took it down, wrapped it in a linen cloth, and laid Him in a tomb[n] cut out of the rock, where no one had ever yet been laid.

54 Now it was the Day of Preparation, and Shabbat was approaching.

Comments Yeshua died at 3 o’clock on the 14th the preparation day for Shabbat so Joseph of Arimathea quickly begged pilate for the body of Yeshua anointed him and wrapped him in linen and place Yeshua in the Tomb. Then the 15th day the HighDay Sabbath approached.

John’s account

John 13

1 Now it was just before the feast of Passover. Yeshua knew that His hour had come to depart from this world to the Father. Having loved His own who were in the world, He loved them until the end.[a]

2 While the seder meal was happening, the devil had already put in the heart of Judah from Kriot that he should hand over Yeshua. 3 Yeshua knew that the Father had given all things into His hands, and that He had come from God and was returning to God. 4 So He gets up from the meal and lays aside His outer garment; and taking a towel, He wrapped it around His waist. 5 Then He pours water into a basin. He began to wash the disciples’ feet, drying them with the towel wrapped around Him.

26 Yeshua answers, “It’s the one I will give this bit of matzah to, after I dip it.” After dipping the matzah,[c] He takes it and gives it to Judah from Kriot, the son of Simon. 27 And with that bit, satan entered into him. Then Yeshua tells him, “What you’re about to do, do quickly!”

28 But no one reclining at the table knew why Yeshua said this to him. 29 Since Judah had the moneybox, some thought Yeshua was telling him, “Buy what we need for the feast,” or that he should give something to the poor. 30 So after Judah received the bit of matzah, he left immediately. Now it was night.

John 18

1 When Yeshua had said these things, He went out with His disciples across the Kidron Valley, [a] where there was a garden, which He and His disciples entered. 2 Now Judah, who was betraying Him, also knew the place, because Yeshua had often met there with His disciples. 3 So Judah, having taken a band of soldiers and some officers from the ruling kohanim and Pharisees, comes there with lanterns, torches, and weapons.

12 Then the band of soldiers, with the captain and the officers of the Judeans, seized Yeshua and tied Him up. 13 They led Him first to Annas, for he was the father-in-law of Caiaphas, the kohen gadol that year.

28 Then they led Yeshua from Caiaphas to the Praetorium.[c] It was early. They themselves did not enter the Praetorium, so they would not become unclean but might eat the Passover.
29 Therefore Pilate came out to them and said, “What charge do you bring against this man?” 31 Then Pilate said to them, “Take Him yourselves, and judge Him by your Torah!”

The Judean leaders responded, “We are not authorized to put anyone to death.” 32 This happened so that the word Yeshua spoke would be fulfilled, signifying what kind of death He was about to die.

33 So Pilate went back into the Praetorium, called for Yeshua, and asked Him, “Are you the King of the Jews?”

John 19

14 It was the Day of Preparation for Passover, about the sixth hour.[d] And Pilate said to the Judean leaders, “Behold, your king!”

15 They shouted back, “Take Him away! Take Him away! Execute Him!” Pilate said to them, “Should I execute your king?”
The ruling kohanim answered, “We have no king but Caesar!”
16 Finally, Pilate handed Yeshua over to be crucified.

28 After this, when Yeshua knew that all things were now completed, to fulfill the Scripture He said, “I am thirsty.” [g] 29 A jar full of sour wine was sitting there, so they put a sponge soaked with the sour wine on a hyssop branch and brought it to His mouth. 30 When Yeshua tasted the sour wine, He said, “It is finished!” And He bowed His head and gave up His spirit.

31 It was the Day of Preparation, and the next day was a festival Shabbat. So that the bodies should not remain on the execution stake during Shabbat, the Judean leaders asked Pilate to have the legs broken and to have the bodies taken away.

32 So the soldiers came and broke the legs of the first and then the other who had been executed with Yeshua. 33 Now when they came to Yeshua and saw that He was already dead, they did not break His legs. 34 But one of the soldiers pierced His side with a spear, and immediately blood and water came out. 35 He who has seen it has testified, and his testimony is true. He knows that he is telling the truth, so that you also may believe. 36 These things happened so that the Scripture would be fulfilled, “Not a bone of His shall be broken.” [h] 37 And again another Scripture says, “They shall look on Him whom they have pierced.”[i]

38 After these things, Joseph of Arimathea asked Pilate if he could take Yeshua’s body away. Joseph was a disciple of Yeshua, but secretly for fear of the Judean leaders. Pilate gave permission, so Joseph came and took the body away. 39 Nicodemus, who had first visited Yeshua at night, also came bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about a hundred pounds. [j] 40 Then they took the body of Yeshua and wrapped it in linen with the spices, as is the Jewish burial custom.

41 Now in the place where He was executed, there was a garden. In the garden was a new tomb[k] where no one had yet been buried. 42 Because it was the Jewish Day of Preparation and the tomb was nearby, they laid Yeshua there.

Comments:

John mainly emphasizes on the Passover of the 15th of Nisan or Temple Passover. He states that the Jews would not enter the Judgment Hall because they would get defile and would not be able to eat the Passover. This shows that the leaders of Israel was eating Passover on the 15th. Yeshua died at 3 o clock on the14th as proven before. The day of his was not a Sabbath but the preparation day of the Shabbat. The 15th day was the Sabbath.

So we conclude that Yeshua ate the Passover with his disciples on the 14th night, the same as the Passover in Egypt and the wilderness. Then he died on the 14th day at 3 o clock when the Jews would slaughter the lamb for the eating and celebration of the departing from Egypt on the 15th in the Temple, The Place that God chose. Yeshua Thus fulfilled both Passovers literally.

This what Rav. Shaul (Paul) says: 1 Corinthians 5

7 Get rid of the old hametz,[b] so you may be a new batch, just as you are unleavened—for Messiah, our Passover Lamb, has been sacrificed. 8 Therefore let us celebrate the feast not with old hametz,[c] the hametz of malice and wickedness, but with unleavened bread—the matzah of sincerity and truth.

Pssover and the feast of Matzot became one of the same!!!!
Don’t fight over the 14th night or the 15th night. They are both commanded by God. I personally Observe both of them!!!!! Chag Sameach Pesach!!!!

When to count the Omer for Shavuot (Pentecost)

First Fruit and Shavuot (Pentecost) When to count the Omer

Leveticus 23

1 Then Adonai spoke to Moses saying: 2 “Speak to Bnei-Yisrael, and tell them: These are the appointed moadim of Adonai, which you are to proclaim to be holy convocations—My moadim.

3 “Work may be done for six days, but the seventh day is a Shabbat of solemn rest, a holy convocation. You are to do no work—it is a Shabbat to Adonai in all your dwellings.

Pesach and Feast of Matzot

4 “These are the appointed feasts of Adonai, holy convocations which you are to proclaim in their appointed season. 5 During the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month in the evening, is Adonai’s Passover. 6 On the fifteenth day of the same month is the Feast of Matzot to Adonai. For seven days you are to eat matzah. 7 On the first day you are to have a holy convocation and you should do no regular work. 8 Instead you are to present an offering made by fire to Adonai for seven days. On the seventh day is a holy convocation, when you are to do no regular work.”

Bikkurim and Shavuot

9 Adonai spoke to Moses saying: 10 “Speak to Bnei-Yisrael and tell them: When you have come into the land which I give to you, and reap its harvest, then you are to bring the omer[a] of the firstfruits of your harvest to the kohen. 11 He is to wave the omer before Adonai, to be accepted for you. On the morrow after the Shabbat, the kohen is to wave it. 12 On the day when you wave the omer you are to offer a male lamb without blemish, one year old, as a burnt offering to Adonai. 13 The grain offering with it should be two tenths of an ephah of fine flour mixed with oil —an offering made by fire to Adonai for a soothing aroma. Its drink offering with it should be a quarter of a gallon[b] of wine. 14 You are not to eat bread, roasted grain, or fresh grain until this same day—until you have brought the offering of your God. It is a statute forever throughout your generations in all your dwellings.

15 “Then you are to count from the morrow after the Shabbat, from the day that you brought the omer[c] of the wave offering, seven complete Shabbatot. 16 Until the morrow after the seventh Shabbat you are to count fifty days,[d] and then present a new grain offering to Adonai. 17 You are to bring out of your houses two loaves of bread for a wave offering, made of two tenths of an ephah of fine flour. They are to be baked with hametz as firstfruits to Adonai. 18 You are to present, along with the bread, seven one-year-old lambs without blemish, one young bull, and two rams. They will become a burnt offering to Adonai, with their meal offering, and their drink offerings, an offering made by fire, a sweet aroma to Adonai. 19 Also you are to offer one male goat for a sin offering and a pair of year-old male lambs for a sacrifice of fellowship offerings. 20 The kohen is to wave them with the bread of the firstfruits as a wave offering before Adonai, with the two lambs. They shall be holy to Adonai for the kohen. 21 You are to make a proclamation on the same day that there is to be a holy convocation, and you should do no regular work. This is a statute forever in all your dwellings throughout your generations.

Comments:
1. According to the scripture in verse 11, the Omer of Barley must be waved after a Sabbath.

11 He is to wave the omer before Adonai, to be accepted for you. On the morrow after the Shabbat, the kohen is to wave it.

2. The Counting must begin the same day that they wave the Omer of Barley.
15 “Then you are to count from the morrow after the Shabbat, from the day that you brought the

omer[c] of the wave offering, seven complete Shabbatot.
Note: They were to count seven complete Shabbats, which would give them 49 days on the last

Shabbat.
3. The 50th day must always fall after a Shabbat.

16 Until the morrow after the seventh Shabbat you are to count fifty days,[d] and then present a new grain offering to Adonai.

Note: The 50th day falls on the Morrow after the seventh Shabbat Summary:

This Feast of weeks is not a fixed date like the others, but it is a fixed day.
The counting always begins after a Shabbat, and the 50th day always falls the day after a Shabbat.

This can only happen if the counting begins after the weekly shabbat, and the 50th day pentecost falls the day after the 7th weekly shabbat. That is why it is called the feast of weeks.

All the other feast was given a date except, first fruit and pentecost. The reason for that is because they can fall on any date, but always the same day of the week. Shavu means week in hebrew, Shavuot means the Feast of weeks, hence we get the name Shavuot in Hebrew. A week starts from the first day to the seventh day according to creation. Seven Sabbath makes seven full weeks which is 49 days and the day after the 7th or last Shabbat is the 50th day, Pentecost with means 50 in Greek.

I submit that the counting of the Omer should be done the Sunday after the weekly Sabbath of the Passover week.

Below are some supporting text that The Feast of First Fruit and Pentecost were not given a date.

Numbers 28

26 “On the Day of Firstfruits, when you offer to Adonai a new grain offering during the Feast of Weeks, you are to have a sacred assembly. You are to do no laborious work.

Deut. 16

9 Seven weeks you are to count for yourself—from the time you begin to put the sickle to the standing grain you will begin to count seven weeks. 10 Then you will keep the Feast of Shavuot[b] to Adonai your God with a measure of a freewill offering from your hand, which you are to give according to how Adonai your God blesses you.

All other feast was given a date but not this one.

Cross examine other traditions:

Some traditions count the Omer on the 16th of Nisan, the day after the Feast of Unleavened Bread Sabbath and observe Shavuot on the 6 of Sivan a fixed date.

Lets examine; This year 2017 the 16th of Nissan fell on a Tuesday Night going into the Wednesday day.
The counting begun on the 16th after the Passover Unleavened Bread Shabbat the 15th.

On Our Calendar this was April 11th a Wednesday. (Starting point).

The 1st Sabbath would be the 15th of April. 4 days, half of a Shabbatot The 2nd Sabbath would be the 22nd of April. 7 full days, Second Shabbatot

The 3rd Sabbath would be the 29th of April. The 4th Sabbath would be 6th of May
The 5th Sabbath would be the 13th of May The 6th Sabbath would be the 20th of May The 7th Sabbath would be the 27th of May

7 full days, Third Shabbatot
7 full days, Fourth Shabbatot 7 full days, Fifth Shabbatot
7 full days, Sixth Shabbatot
7 full days, Seventh Shabbatot

The 6 of Sivan falls on the 30th Night into the 31st Day of May, which was a Tuesday night into a the Wednesday day.

Let us see if this will work with the scriptures: Leviticus 23:
15 “Then you are to count from the morrow after the Shabbat, from the day that you brought the

omer[c] of the wave offering, seven complete Shabbatot.

We have several problems here:

1. The Unleavened Bread Sabbath was April 11th a Tuesday. They started counting the Omer after the Unleavened Bread Sabbath which was the From the 12th to the 15th of April. This was not a complete Shabbatot, a complete Shabatot is 7 days. This was only 4 days from Wednesday to Saturday. It said seven complete Shabbatot or weeks 1day to 7th day.

They did give us seven Sabbath according to the scriptures, but not full Sabbaths. Because the first one only have 4 days not seven. The others 6 have the seven days, because they are now within the weekly cycle.

2. Pentecost the 6 of Sivan fell on the 31st of May a Wednseday, It did not fall on the Morrow

after the Sabbath. Tuesday, the day before was not a Sabbath. This is a big problem.
16 Until the morrow after the seventh Shabbat you are to count fifty days,[d] and then present a

new grain offering to Adonai.

The 27th of May was the Seventh Shabbat. The 31st was pentecost, that was 3 days
after the Seventh Shabbat. If you choose the 28th of May for Pentecost because it follows the

last Sabbath this would only give us 45 days and not 50 days.

This problems gets worst depending on which day the 16th of Nisan and the 6 Sivan falls, it can fall on any day, because it’s a date like ones birthday. If Sivan 6 falls on a Friday there would be 6 day after the seventh Shabbat. Scripture says that the 50th must fall the day after the Seventh Sabbath.

The Biblical counting of the Omer for 2017

Passover Sabbath fell on the Tuesday April 11th
The weekly Sabbath after Passover was April 15th. (Starting point).

We begin counting the Omer after that weekly Sabbath on April 16th a Sunday. The 1st day of the Omer. From the 16th to the 22nd 7 days 1 full week.

1st week was Saturday April 22nd. 7 full days, First Shabbatot 2nd week was Saturday April 29th. 7 full days, Second Shabbatot

3rd week was Saturday May 6th. 4th week was Saturday May 13th. 5th week was Saturday May 20th. 6th week was Saturday May 27th. 7th week was Saturday June 3rd. Seven full Shabbatot

7 full days, Third Shabbatot
7 full days, Fourth Shabatot
7 full days, Fifth Shabbatot
7 full days, Sixth Shabbatot
7 full days, Seventh Shabbatot

49 full Days, Seven Full Shabbatot

June 4th on a Sunday was the 50th day. The day after the Seventh Shabbatot

Conclusion: The Counting starts after the weekly shabbat of the Passover week and Pentecost falls after the seventh weekly shabbat which is a Sunday.

Proof of this in the original hebrew text.

The Shabbat and Shabbatot in verses 15 refers directly to the weekly Shabbat in the original Torah Scrolls

The Terms used in the Hebrew scriptures for annual Sabbaths or feast Sabbath is Holy Convocation, but for the weekly Sabbath it uses the word Sabbath, a slight distinction.

on the day Noun seventh Adj an assembly Noun

a holy [is] Noun

The New Testament proves that without a shadow of a doubt the Omer were counted after the weekly Shabbat.

Let us look at the week of the crucifixion to prove this:

Yeshua gave to the Jews of His generation the only that proves his Messiahship.

Matthew 12
8 Then some of the Torah scholars and Pharisees answered Him, “Teacher, we want to see a

sign from You.”

39 But Yeshua replied to them, “An evil and adulterous generation clamors for a sign, yet no sign shall be given to it except the sign of Jonah the prophet. 40 For just as Jonah was in the belly of the great fish for three days and three nights,[d] so the Son of Man will be in the heart of the earth for three days and three nights.

Mark 8:31 [ Revealing the Mission ] Then He began to teach them that the Son of Man must suffer many things and be rejected by the elders and ruling kohanim and Torah scholars, and be killed, and after three days rise again.

Mark 9:31 for He was teaching His disciples and telling them, “The Son of Man is going to be delivered into the hands of men, and they will kill Him. And after He is killed, three days later He will rise up.”

Mark 10:34 They will mock Him and spit on Him, scourge Him and kill Him. Yet after three days, He will rise again!”

Matthew 27
62 Now on the next day, which is after the preparation, the ruling kohanim and Pharisees were gathered before Pilate. 63 “Sir,” they said, “we remember how that deceiver said while He was still alive, ‘After three days I’m to be raised.’

Comments:

The above scriptures states that Yeshua will be in the grave Three Days and Three Nights and after three days (72hrs) rise from the dead.

We must apply this 72hrs of day and night from the time that Yeshua was placed in the Tomb to the time he resurrected.

John 19

Note: Verse 31 says that it was a festival Shabbat, not the weekly Shabbat.

40 Then they took the body of Yeshua and wrapped it in linen with the spices, as is the Jewish burial custom.

Comments:

Yeshua was placed in the tomb right before the sunset for the festival Shabbat. Below is the reference to the festival Shabbat.

Levitcus 23

6 On the fifteenth day of the same month is the Feast of Matzot to Adonai. For seven days you are to eat matzah. 7 On the first day you are to have a holy convocation and you should do no regular work.

Let us look at when Yeshua resurrected from the grave and count backwards 72hrs or 3 days and 3 nights.

Matthew 28

1 In the end of the sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week, came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to see the sepulchre.

2 And, behold, there was a great earthquake: for the angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled back the stone from the door, and sat upon it.

3 His countenance was like lightning, and his raiment white as snow:
4 And for fear of him the keepers did shake, and became as dead men.

5 And the angel answered and said unto the women, Fear not ye: for I know that ye seek Jesus, which was crucified.

6 He is not here: for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay. Comments:

The time of the ladies visit was at the end of Shabbat, towards the first day of the week. This is Saturday at sunset. Yeshua was already risen at that time. So he had to rise right before sunset Saturday. If you count 3 days and 3 nights backward we will get to the Wednesday before

sunset when he was placed in the Tomb, and that will give you exactly 72hrs. Yeshua died at 3 o clock on the Wednesday and placed int the tomb before sunset that evening, because it was the Feast of Unleavened Shabbat. He stayed in the grave Wednesday, Thursday and Friday Night, 3 nights and Thursday, Friday, and Saturday Day, 3 Days. This makes up the 72hrs.

What is very important is to understand that the resurrection fulfills the waving of the Omer or First Fruits.

Yeshua is the Omer of First Fruit that taken from the earth and was waved to the Father in Heaven.

John 20

16 Jesus saith unto her, Mary. She turned herself, and saith unto him, Rabboni; which is to say, Master.

17 Jesus saith unto her, Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended to my Father: but go to my brethren, and say unto them, I ascend unto my Father, and your Father; and to my God, and your God.

18 Mary Magdalene came and told the disciples that she had seen the Lord, and that he had spoken these things unto her.

The counting of the Omer begun that Sunday, the first day of the week! The disciples were supposed to wait in Jerusalem until they receive the power of the holy Spirit.

Luke 24
49 And behold, I am sending the promise of My Father upon you; but you are to stay in the city

until you are clothed with power from on high.”

50 Then Yeshua led them out as far as Bethany, and He lifted up His hands[e] and blessed them. 51 And while blessing them, He departed from them and was taken up into heaven. 52 After worshiping Him, they returned to Jerusalem with great joy. 53 And they were continually in the Temple, praising God.

Note: They were commanded to stay in Jerusalem until they receive the Holy Spirit.

Acts 1

1 I wrote the first volume, Theophilus, about all that Yeshua began to do and teach— 2 up to the day He was taken up, after He had given orders by the Ruach ha-Kodesh to the emissaries He had chosen. 3 To them He showed Himself to be alive after His suffering through many convincing proofs, appearing to them for forty days and speaking about the kingdom of God.

Comments:

Acts chapter 1 verse 3 proves that Yeshua was teaching his disciples for 40 days after the resurrection. This is the 40th day of the counting of the Omer.

Acts 1

4 Now while staying with them, He commanded them not to leave Jerusalem, but to wait for what the Father promised—which, He said, “you heard from Me. 5 For John immersed with water, but you will be immersed in the Ruach ha-Kodesh not many days from now.”

9 After saying all this—while they were watching—He was taken up, and a cloud received Him out of their sight.

What happen 10 days after that? The 50th day of the Omer!

Acts 2

1 When the day of Shavuot[a] had come, they were all together in one place. 2 Suddenly there came from heaven a sound like a mighty rushing wind, and it filled the whole house where they were sitting. 3 And tongues like fire spreading out appeared to them and settled on each one of them. 4 They were all filled with the Ruach ha-Kodesh and began to speak in other tongues as the Ruach enabled them to speak out.

Comments:

The counting begun with the Waving of the Omer (Yeshua’s Resurrection) at the end of the weekly Shabbat and 50 days later the Holy Spirit was given to the disciples on the day of Pentecost (Shavuot). This is a perfect example of the counting of the Omer according to scripture.

The 120 in the upper room were the first of the 144 thousands of Israelites to be sealed according to Revelation 7 and 14. This sealing begun on Pentecost Shavuot.

Revelation 7
4 Now I heard the number of those marked with the seal: 144,000 from every tribe of Bnei-Yisrael—

Revelation 14
1 Then I looked, and behold, the Lamb was standing on Mount Zion,[a] and with Him were 144,000 who had His name and His Father’s name written on their foreheads.

4 These are the ones who have not defiled themselves with women, for they are virgins. These are the ones who follow the Lamb wherever He goes.
These have been redeemed from among mankind as firstfruits for God and the Lamb.

Pentecost represents the First fruit of the wheat harvest, it must be baked with leaven, and offer to God as a wave offering.

Leviticus 23
17 You are to bring out of your houses two loaves of bread for a wave offering, made of two tenths of an ephah of fine flour. They are to be baked with hametz as firstfruits to Adonai.

This leaven bread represents the first Jewish believers in the book of Acts that received the Holy Spirit with Mortal (leaven) bodies under the New Covenanat. Leaven is a decaying agent and represents mortality.

Pentecost is the only feast and sacrifice that uses leavened bread, all the other feast and sacrifices uses unleavened bread.

At Pentecost 3,000 more were sealed; then 5000 more were seal at the healing of the lame man. No gentile were being sealed until Acts chapter 10.

Acts 2
40 With many other words he warned them and kept urging them, saying, “Save yourselves from this twisted generation!” [i] 41 So those who received his message were immersed, and that day about three thousand souls were added.

46 Day by day they continued with one mind, spending time at the Temple and breaking bread from house to house. They were sharing meals with gladness and sincerity of heart, 47 praising God and having favor with all the people. And every day the Lord was adding to their number[j] those being saved.

Acts 4
4 But many who heard the message believed, and the number of the men came to about five thousand.

Acts 5
14 Yet more than ever those trusting in the Lord were added—large numbers of men and women.

Acts 9
34 Peter said to him, “Aeneas, Messiah Yeshua heals you. Get up and pack up your bed.” Immediately, he got up! 35 All who lived in Lydda and the Plain of Sharon saw him, and they turned to the Lord.

Acts 11
19 Now those scattered because of the persecution that happened in connection with Stephen traveled as far as Phoenicia and Cyprus and Antioch, telling the message only to Judeans. 20 However, there were some of them, men of Cyprus and Cyrene, who came to Antioch and began speaking to the Hellenists also, proclaiming the Lord Yeshua.

Acts 21
20 And when they heard, they began glorifying God.
They said, “You see, brother, how many myriads there are among the Jewish people who have believed—and they are all zealous for the Torah.

James 1
1 Jacob, a slave of God and of the Lord Yeshua the Messiah,
to the twelve tribes in the Diaspora: Shalom!
18 By His will, He brought us forth by the word of truth, so that we might be a kind of firstfruits of all He created.[e]

We must realize that the sealing of the Jewish people was to fulfill the first fruit of the wheat harvest. At tabernacles is the last harvest in the end of the world, and that will be the Harvesting of all of saints.

Yeshua’s instructions on the sealing process. Who did he say was first?

Matthew 10

5 Yeshua sent out these twelve and ordered them, “Do not go to the Gentiles, and do not enter into any Samaritan town. 6 But go instead to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. 7 As you go, proclaim, ‘The kingdom of heaven has come near!’

Matthew 15

24 But He responded, “I was sent only to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.”

Luke 24

47 and that repentance for the removal of sins[c] is to be proclaimed in His name to all nations,

beginning from Jerusalem.

Acts 1

7 He said to them, “It is not your place to know the times or seasons which the Father has placed under His own control. 8 But you will receive power when the Ruach ha-Kodesh has come upon you; and you will be My witnesses in Jerusalem, and through all Judah, and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.”

Romans 1
16 For I am not ashamed of the Good News, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone

who trusts—to the Jew first and also to the Greek.
All these verses are indication that the scriptures must be fulfilled concerning the sealing of the

First Fruit of beleivers, the Jews first and then the nations.

Revelation 7

4 Now I heard the number of those marked with the seal:

144,000 from every tribe of Bnei-Yisrael—

9 After these things I looked, and behold, a vast multitude that no one could count—from every nation and all tribes and peoples and tongues—was standing before the throne and before the Lamb. They were clothed in white robes, with palm branches[d] in their hands 10 and crying out with a loud voice, saying,

“Salvation belongs to our God,
who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb!” Shalom! Shalom! Shalom!

The Father and the Son created everything

Gen. 1:26

And God H430 said, H559 Let us make H6213 man H120 in our image, H6754 after our likeness: H1823 and let them have dominion H7287 over the fish H1710 of the sea, H3220 and over the fowl H5775 of the air, H8064 and over the cattle, H929 and over all the earth, H776 and over every creeping thing H7431 that creepeth H7430 upon the earth. H776

John 1

1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 The same was in the beginning with God.
3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. 9 That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world.

10 He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not.
14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.
18 No man hath seen God at any time, the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him.

1 Cor. 8
6 But to us there is but one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we in him; and one

Lord Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we by him. Hebrews 1

1 God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets,
2 Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds;

Col. 1

15 Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature:
16 For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him:
17 And he is before all things, and by him all things consist.
18 And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence.
19 For it pleased the Father that in him should all fulness dwell;

Revelation 3
14 And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write; These things saith the Amen, the

faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God; The preexistence of the Son
Prov. 30

4 Who hath ascended up into heaven, or descended? who hath gathered the wind in his fists? who hath bound the waters in a garment? who hath established all the ends of the earth? what is his name, and what is his son’s name, if thou canst tell?

Micah 5

2 But thou, Bethlehem Ephratah, though thou be little among the thousands of Judah, yet out of thee shall he come forth unto me that is to be ruler in Israel; whose goings forth have been from of old, from everlasting.

John 8

56 Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day: and he saw it, and was glad.
57 Then said the Jews unto him, Thou art not yet fifty years old, and hast thou seen Abraham? 58 Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am.

Gen. 18

1 And the Lord appeared unto him in the plains of Mamre: and he sat in the tent door in the heat of the day;
2 And he lift up his eyes and looked, and, lo, three men stood by him: and when he saw them, he ran to meet them from the tent door, and bowed himself toward the ground,

16 And the men rose up from thence, and looked toward Sodom: and Abraham went with them to bring them on the way.
17 And the Lord said, Shall I hide from Abraham that thing which I do;
18 Seeing that Abraham shall surely become a great and mighty nation, and all the nations of the earth shall be blessed in him?

19 For I know him, that he will command his children and his household after him, and they shall keep the way of the Lord, to do justice and judgment; that the Lord may bring upon Abraham that which he hath spoken of him.
20 And the Lord said, Because the cry of Sodom and Gomorrah is great, and because their sin is very grievous;

21 I will go down now, and see whether they have done altogether according to the cry of it, which is come unto me; and if not, I will know.
22 And the men turned their faces from thence, and went toward Sodom: but Abraham stood yet before the Lord.

2 Angels in Sodom and the Third man was the Lord who Abraham was speaking to.

Gen. 19

1 And there came two angels to Sodom at even; and Lot sat in the gate of Sodom: and Lot seeing them rose up to meet them; and he bowed himself with his face toward the ground;

Observe that there were three men that appeared to Abraham and one of them were the Lord.

Two of them went to Sodom and the third one (The Lord) stayed with Abraham discussing what he plans to do to Sodom. There Abraham pleaded for Sodom with the Lord. I believe this was the Son of God that Abraham was talking to, or the Son of Man. That’s why he appeared as a man. “ Before Abraham was, I am” John 8: 58.

John 8

23 And he said unto them, Ye are from beneath; I am from above: ye are of this world; I am not of this world.
42 Jesus said unto them, If God were your Father, ye would love me: for I proceeded forth and came from God; neither came I of myself, but he sent me.

John 6

50 This is the bread which cometh down from heaven, that a man may eat thereof, and not die. 51 I am the living bread which came down from heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: and the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world. 62 What and if ye shall see the Son of man ascend up where he was before?

John 17

1 These words spake Jesus, and lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, Father, the hour is come; glorify thy Son, that thy Son also may glorify thee:
2 As thou hast given him power over all flesh, that he should give eternal life to as many as thou hast given him.
3 And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.
4 I have glorified thee on the earth: I have finished the work which thou gavest me to do.
5 And now, O Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory which I had with thee before the world was.
6 I have manifested thy name unto the men which thou gavest me out of the world: thine they were, and thou gavest them me; and they have kept thy word.
7 Now they have known that all things whatsoever thou hast given me are of thee.
8 For I have given unto them the words which thou gavest me; and they have received them, and have known surely that I came out from thee, and they have believed that thou didst send me.
9 I pray for them: I pray not for the world, but for them which thou hast given me; for they are thine.
10 And all mine are thine, and thine are mine; and I am glorified in them.

11 And now I am no more in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep through thine own name those whom thou hast given me, that they may be one, as we are.

measure I persecuted the church of God, and wasted it:

21 Now when all the people were baptized, it came to pass, that Jesus also being baptized, and praying, the heaven was opened,

drink it new with you in my Father’s kingdom. Matthew 26

39 And he went a little farther, and fell on his face, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt.

Matthew 26

42 He went away again the second time, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if this cup may not pass away from me, except I drink it, thy will be done.

Matthew 26

53 Thinkest thou that I cannot now pray to my Father, and he shall presently give me more than twelve legions of angels?

John 8

28 Then said Jesus unto them, When ye have lifted up the Son of man, then shall ye know that I am he, and that I do nothing of myself; but as my Father hath taught me, I speak these things.

came from God; neither came I of myself, but he sent me.

John 8

49 Jesus answered, I have not a devil; but I honour my Father, and ye do dishonour me.

John 8

54 Jesus answered, If I honour myself, my honour is nothing: it is my Father that honoureth me; of whom ye say, that he is your God:

John 10

17 Therefore doth my Father love me, because I lay down my life, that I might take it again.
18 No man taketh it from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This commandment have I received of my Father.

John 10
29 My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of

my Father’s hand.

28 Ye have heard how I said unto you, I go away, and come again unto you. If ye loved me, ye would rejoice, because I said, I go unto the Father: for my Father is greater than I.

John 15
24 If I had not done among them the works which none other man did, they had not had sin: but

now have they both seen and hated both me and my Father. John 18

11 Then said Jesus unto Peter, Put up thy sword into the sheath: the cup which my Father hath given me, shall I not drink it?

John 20

17 Jesus saith unto her, Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended to my Father: but go to my brethren, and say unto them, I ascend unto my Father, and your Father; and to my God, and your God.
21Then said Jesus to them again, Peace be unto you: as my Father hath sent me, even so send I you.

10 For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life.

Romans 8

3 For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh:

1 Corinthians 1

9 God is faithful, by whom ye were called unto the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord.

1 John 5

5 Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?
9 If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater: for this is the witness of God which he hath testified of his Son.
10 He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in himself: he that believeth not God hath made him a liar; because he believeth not the record that God gave of his Son.

Son of God.

most high God? I adjure thee by God, that thou torment me not. Luke 4

Lord, Sit thou on my right hand,

2 Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him

endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God. 1 Peter 3

22 Who is gone into heaven, and is on the right hand of God; angels and authorities and powers being made subject unto him.

1 Corithians 15

24 Then cometh the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have put down all rule and all authority and power.
25 For he must reign, till he hath put all enemies under his feet.
26 The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death.

27 For he hath put all things under his feet. But when he saith all things are put under him, it is

manifest that he is excepted, which did put all things under him.
28 And when all things shall be subdued unto him, then shall the Son also himself be subject unto him that put all things under him, that God may be all in all.

Luke 4

18 The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised,

Acts 10
38 How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about

doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him. John 3

34 For he whom God hath sent speaketh the words of God: for God giveth not the Spirit by measure unto him.

John 4
34 Jesus saith unto them, My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to finish his work. John 5

23 That all men should honour the Son, even as they honour the Father. He that honoureth not the Son honoureth not the Father which hath sent him.
24 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life. 30 I can of mine own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; because I seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father which hath sent me.

36 But I have greater witness than that of John: for the works which the Father hath given me to finish, the same works that I do, bear witness of me, that the Father hath sent me.
37And the Father himself, which hath sent me, hath borne witness of me. Ye have neither heard his voice at any time, nor seen his shape.

John 6

38 For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me.

29 And he that sent me is with me: the Father hath not left me alone; for I do always those things that please him.

10 If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father’s commandments, and abide in his love.
23 He that hateth me hateth my Father also.
24 If I had not done among them the works which none other man did, they had not had sin: but now have they both seen and hated both me and my Father.
26 But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me:

Acts 1
7 And he said unto them, It is not for you to know the times or the seasons, which the Father

hath put in his own power.

Matthew 26
39 And he went a little farther, and fell on his face, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if it be

possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt.

Matthew 26

53 Thinkest thou that I cannot now pray to my Father, and he shall presently give me more than twelve legions of angels?

Mark 1
35 And in the morning, rising up a great while before day, he went out, and departed into a

solitary place, and there prayed.
Mark 6
46 And when he had sent them away, he departed into a mountain to pray. Luke 6

12 And it came to pass in those days, that he went out into a mountain to pray, and continued all night in prayer to God.

John 14

16 And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever;

John 15

16 Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you.

John 16
23 And in that day ye shall ask me nothing. Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall

ask the Father in my name, he will give it you.

John 17

9 I pray for them: I pray not for the world, but for them which thou hast given me; for they are thine.

John 11

41 Then they took away the stone from the place where the dead was laid. And Jesus lifted up his eyes, and said, Father, I thank thee that thou hast heard me.
42 And I knew that thou hearest me always: but because of the people which stand by I said it, that they may believe that thou hast sent me.

John 16

27 For the Father himself loveth you, because ye have loved me, and have believed that I came out from God.
28 I came forth from the Father, and am come into the world: again, I leave the world, and go to the Father.

29 His disciples said unto him, Lo, now speakest thou plainly, and speakest no proverb.
30 Now are we sure that thou knowest all things, and needest not that any man should ask thee: by this we believe that thou camest forth from God.

1 Timothy 2
5 For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus; Revelation 2

26 And he that overcometh, and keepeth my works unto the end, to him will I give power over the nations:
27 And he shall rule them with a rod of iron; as the vessels of a potter shall they be broken to shivers: even as I received of my Father.

Revelation 3
21 To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and

am set down with my Father in his throne.

Revelation 5

1 And I saw in the right hand of him that sat on the throne a book written within and on the backside, sealed with seven seals.
2 And I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, Who is worthy to open the book, and to loose the seals thereof?
3 And no man in heaven, nor in earth, neither under the earth, was able to open the book, neither to look thereon.
4 And I wept much, because no man was found worthy to open and to read the book, neither to look thereon.
5 And one of the elders saith unto me, Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof.
6 And I beheld, and, lo, in the midst of the throne and of the four beasts, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent forth into all the earth.
7 And he came and took the book out of the right hand of him that sat upon the throne.
13 And every creature which is in heaven, and on the earth, and under the earth, and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, heard I saying, Blessing, and honour, and glory, and power, be unto him that sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb for ever and ever.

Daniel 7

9 I beheld till the thrones were cast down, and the Ancient of days did sit, whose garment was white as snow, and the hair of his head like the pure wool: his throne was like the fiery flame, and his wheels as burning fire.
10 A fiery stream issued and came forth from before him: thousand thousands ministered unto him, and ten thousand times ten thousand stood before him: the judgment was set, and the books were opened.

11 I beheld then because of the voice of the great words which the horn spake: I beheld even till the beast was slain, and his body destroyed, and given to the burning flame.
13 I saw in the night visions, and, behold, one like the Son of man came with the clouds of heaven, and came to the Ancient of days, and they brought him near before him.

14 And there was given him dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, that all people, nations, and languages, should serve him: his dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom that which shall not be destroyed.

Revelation 19

11 And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war.
12 His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself.

13 And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God. 14 And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean.
15 And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.

16 And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, King Of Kings, And Lord Of Lords.
19 And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against him that sat on the horse, and against his army.
20 And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone.
21 And the remnant were slain with the sword of him that sat upon the horse, which sword proceeded out of his mouth: and all the fowls were filled with their flesh.

Revelation 20

4 And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.

5 But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection.
6 Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.

7 And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison,
8 And shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog, and Magog, to gather them together to battle: the number of whom is as the sand of the sea.
9 And they went up on the breadth of the earth, and compassed the camp of the saints about, and the beloved city: and fire came down from God out of heaven, and devoured them.
10 And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever.
11 And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them.
12 And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.

Revelation 22

1 And he shewed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb.

2 In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.
3 And there shall be no more curse: but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it; and his servants shall serve him:

4 And they shall see his face; and his name shall be in their foreheads.
5 And there shall be no night there; and they need no candle, neither light of the sun; for the Lord God giveth them light: and they shall reign for ever and ever.

Clean And Unclean Meats

Abstain from Blood and strangled meat

Lev. 11

44 “For I am Adonai your God. Therefore, sanctify yourselves, and be holy, for I am holy. You are not to defile yourselves with any kind of creeping thing that moves on the earth. 45 For I am Adonai who brought you up out of the land of Egypt, to be your God.[a] Therefore, you shall be holy, for I am holy.

For the Gentiles to begin their sanctification, they had to adhere to these 4 principles. Are you following these priciples today?

Acts 15

19 Wherefore my sentence is, that we trouble not them, which from among the Gentiles are turned to God:

20 But that we write unto them, that they abstain from pollutions of idols, and from fornication, and from things strangled, and from blood.

21 For Moses of old time hath in every city them that preach him, being read in the synagogues every sabbath day.

28 For it seemed good to the Holy Ghost, and to us, to lay upon you no greater burden than these necessary things;

29 That ye abstain from meats offered to idols, and from blood, and from things strangled, and from fornication: from which if ye keep yourselves, ye shall do well. Fare ye well.

Abstain from blood, what does this mean?

When instructed by God to eat flesh what restrictions did he give.

Gen 9

4 Only flesh with its life—that is, its blood—you must not eat!

5 Surely your lifeblood will I avenge. From every animal and from every person will I avenge it. From every person’s brother will I avenge that person’s life.

What are the consequences of eating blood? Cut off, No longer a part of the people.

Lev. 7
26 “You are not to eat any blood, whether it is from a bird or an animal, in any of your dwellings. 27 Whoever it is who consumes any blood, that soul is to be cut off from his people.’”

Lev. 17

10 “Anyone from the house of Israel, or from the outsiders dwelling among them, who eats any kind of blood, I will set my face against that soul—the one who eats blood—and will cut him off from among his people. 11 For the life of the creature is in the blood, and I have given it to you on the altar to make atonement for your lives—for it is the blood that makes atonement because of the life. 12 Therefore I have said to Bnei-Yisrael: No person among you may eat blood, nor may any outsider dwelling among you eat blood.

13 “Any person from Bnei-Yisrael, or from the outsiders dwelling among them, who hunts as game any animal or bird that may be eaten, must drain its blood and cover it with dust. 14 For the life of every creature, its blood is in its life. Therefore I said to Bnei-Yisrael: You are not to eat the blood of any kind of creature, for the life of every creature is its blood. Whoever eats it is to be cut off.

Even if a beast is clean, can we eat it regardless of how it died? No because the life is in it, the blood.

Lev. 11

39 “If any animal that you may eat dies, the one who touches its carcass will become unclean until the evening. 40 He who eats of its carcass is to wash his clothes, and be unclean until the evening. Also, the one who carries its carcass is to wash his clothes, and be unclean until the evening.

Lev. 17

15 “Everyone who eats what dies naturally or is torn by animals—whether he is native-born or a foreigner—is to wash his clothes and bathe himself in water. He will be unclean until the evening, then he will be clean. 16 But if he does not wash them or bathe his body, then he will bear his iniquity.”

Deut. 14

21 You are not to eat anything that dies of itself. You may give it to the outsider within your gates so that he may eat it or you may sell it to a foreigner. For you are a holy people to Adonai your God.

We should not drink or eat blood according to scripture but is it allowed to eat meat with a little blood? rare, medium rare, or well done, is this what the scripture talking about?

Lev. 19

26 Ye shall not eat any thing with the blood: neither shall ye use enchantment, nor observe times.

Deut. 12

23 Only be sure that thou eat not the blood: for the blood is the life; and thou mayest not eat the life with the flesh.

Deut. 15
23 Only thou shalt not eat the blood thereof; thou shalt pour it upon the ground as water. 1 sam. 14

31 That day they struck down the Philistines from Michmas to Aijalon, though the people were so weary. 32 Then the people rushed greedily upon the plunder, took sheep, oxen and calves, butchered them on the ground, and the people ate them with the blood. 33 Then they reported to Saul saying, “Behold, the people are sinning against Adonai by eating with the blood.”

“You have acted faithlessly,” he said. “Roll a great stone towards me at once.” 34 Then Saul said, “Disperse yourselves among the people and tell them: ‘Each one of you bring me his ox or his sheep, and butcher them here and eat. Don’t sin against Adonai by eating with the blood.’”

Will we be saved if we eat meat with blood? Eze. 33

25 “Therefore say to them, thus says Adonai Elohim: ‘You eat with the blood, lift up your eyes to your idols and shed blood. Should you possess the land? 26 You rely on your sword, commit abominations and each of you defiles his neighbor’s wife. Should you possess the land?’ 27 Say this to them, thus says Adonai Elohim: ‘As I live, surely those who are in the ruins will fall by the sword. Whoever is in the open field I will give to the beasts to be devoured, and whoever is in the strongholds and in the caves will die of the plague.

This is a very serious commandment, when we eat any kind of blood we are guilty of the life of the animal because the blood is the life of the animal. Therefore we recommend kosher meats prepared by the Jews to whom this commandment was given and they are experts in this process of Kashrut.

Kosher slaughtering

The mammals and birds that may be eaten must be slaughtered in accordance with Jewish law. (Deut. 12:21). We may not eat animals that died of natural causes (Deut. 14:21) or that were killed by other animals. In addition, the animal must have no disease or flaws in the organs at the time of slaughter. These restrictions do not apply to fish; only to the flocks and herds (Num. 11:22).

Ritual slaughter is known as shechitah, and the person who performs the slaughter is called a shochet, both from the Hebrew root Shin-Cheit-Teit. The method of slaughter is a quick, deep stroke across the throat with a perfectly sharp blade with no nicks or unevenness. This method is painless, causes unconsciousness within two seconds, and is widely recognized as the most humane method of slaughter possible.

Another advantage of shechitah is that it ensures rapid, complete draining of the blood, which is also necessary to render the meat kosher.

The shochet is not simply a butcher; he must be a pious man, well-trained in Jewish law, particularly as it relates to kashrut. In smaller, more remote communities, the rabbi and the shochet were often the same person.

Draining of Blood

The Torah prohibits consumption of blood. Lev. 7:26-27; Lev. 17:10-14. This is the only dietary law that has a reason specified in Torah: we do not eat blood because the life of the animal (literally, the soul of the animal) is contained in the blood. This applies only to the blood of birds and mammals, not to fish blood. Thus, it is necessary to remove all blood from the flesh of kosher animals.

The first step in this process occurs at the time of slaughter. As discussed above, shechitah allows for rapid draining of most of the blood.

The remaining blood must be removed, either by broiling or soaking and salting. Liver may only be kashered by the broiling method, because it has so much blood in it and such complex blood vessels. This final process must be completed within 72 hours after slaughter, and before the meat is frozen or ground. Most butchers and all frozen food vendors take care of the soaking and salting for you, but you should always check this when you are buying someplace you are unfamiliar with.

An egg that contains a blood spot may not be eaten. This isn’t very common, but I find them once in a while. It is a good idea to break an egg into a glass and check it before you put it into a heated pan, because if you put a blood-stained egg into a heated pan, the pan becomes non- kosher. If your recipe calls for multiple eggs, break each one into the glass separately, so you don’t waste all of the eggs if the last one is not kosher!
