They claim that the color blue is new in human consciousness and that it didn’t exist in ancient languages–including Hebrew, Of course, several people have jumped on the site and said that the tallit has a blue thread. Their response appears to be that we moderns are translating incorrectly. So, I guess my question is (a) is that correct? Does no one know what “Tekhelet” is, and (b) how do we know what the Hebrew names of colors represent? I have already seen in the commentary that the translators admit that they are unsure what some of the animal names represent. How do we know the colors?

Passover is the 14th of Nisan and the feast of unleavened bread is from 14th thru 21st though Josephus incorrectly understood the feast of unleavened bread to be the 15th through the 21st.. There is no “first day of the Passover” only “the Passover”. God does not give Brownie Points for twisting words to make him look better.

The first verse plainly states that this was “before the feast of the Passover,” which lasts for seven days (from Nisan 15 through Nisan 21). John is obviously referring to the same night described by the other three Gospel writers (Matt. 26; Mark 14; Luke 22). John goes on to reiterate several times that these events took place before Passover. Clearly, the Passover meal traditionally eaten on the evening of Nisan 15 had not yet been observed.”

Num_28:16 And in the fourteenth day of the first month is the passover of the LORD.

That is also the beginning of the feast of Pita bread, which lasts a week:

Exo_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.

The second gospel says that on Passover (the 14th), Jesus celebrated with his disciples in the upper room:

Mar 14:12 And the first day of unleavened bread, when they killed the passover, his disciples said unto him, Where wilt thou that we go and prepare that thou mayest eat the passover?
Mar 14:13 And he sendeth forth two of his disciples, and saith unto them, Go ye into the city, and there shall meet you a man bearing a pitcher of water: follow him.
Mar 14:14 And wheresoever he shall go in, say ye to the goodman of the house, The Master saith, Where is the guestchamber, where I shall eat the passover with my disciples?
Mar 14:15 And he will shew you a large upper room furnished and prepared: there make ready for us.

The fourth gospel says nothing about the upper room being a Passover meal and has Jesus being led away about 11am or 12 on the morning of the Passover as the priests were killing the goats:

Joh 19:14 And it was the preparation of the passover, and about the sixth hour: and he saith unto the Jews, Behold your King!
Joh 19:15 But they cried out, Away with him, away with him, crucify him. Pilate saith unto them, Shall I crucify your King? The chief priests answered, We have no king but Caesar.
Joh 19:16 Then delivered he him therefore unto them to be crucified. And they took Jesus, and led him away.

And Mark has him being nailed up around 8 or 9am:

Mar 15:25 And it was the third hour, and they crucified him.

The goat was to be completely consumed before morning:

Exo 34:25 Thou shalt not offer the blood of my sacrifice with leaven; neither shall the sacrifice of the feast of the passover be left unto the morning.

So I would say that the fourth gospel has Jesus dying at on the morning just before the Passover (which began that evening) and the second gospel has him dying the previous morning.

At least, that is how I read it.

Mark 14:12 speaks of the day when they killed the Passover as the first day of unleavened bread. The terms Passover and Unleavened Bread were used interchangeably to refer to the whole feast – (Luke 2:1). Since scripture identifies Nisan 14 as the day before Jesus died and He ate the Passover with them (Luke 22:15) in the evening after they sacrificed the lamb, Jesus died on the 15th.

He rose sometime between Sat eve and Sun morning. Ex 12:4-10 “It must be an animal without blemish, a male one year old; you may take it from either sheep or goats. You must keep it until the fourteenth day of the month, when the whole assembly of Israel will slaughter it between the two evenings. … That night, the flesh is to be eaten, roasted over the fire; it must be eaten with unleavened bread and bitter herbs. …” So, we’ll let this thread get back to ‘God didn’t say that’ now, okay? God bless you.
