2 Chronicles 30. When the heart is right the ritual is right. But im here to give tou the inside scoop. When one doesnt have a calendar this is how we do it; first full moon after the spring equinox.
Shalom, 2 Divrey Hayamim "Chronicles" 30 doesn't say "When the heart is right the ritual is right." Keeping Pesach in the 2nd month is actually proscribed in Torah if one cannot keep Pesach in the first month due to being ritually impure by virtue of a dead body. Read B'midbar "Number" 9:1-14. ""Speak to the sons of Israel, saying, 'If any one of you or of your generations becomes unclean because of a [dead] person, or is on a distant journey, he may, however, celebrate the Passover to YHWH. In the second month on the fourteenth day at twilight, they shall celebrate it; they shall eat it with unleavened bread and bitter herbs.'" (B'midbar "Numbers" 9:10-11 NASB20) I invite you to watch the series on the Key to understanding the word of Yah. ruclips.net/p/PL5-KXjji64_tDPR5MY6jSN3kwd9VcLHNx&si=5KRruDuqNR3LDFLA Shalom, Shalom, Moriyah
Sir, The dark moon lasts about three days before the new crescent appears. so which night of the ''Dark Moon'' must one decide is the ''night of *COMPLETE COVERING* or New Moon? Peace
Shalom and thanks for your question. One of the key points I made in the video is that the new moon is a calculated moon and not based on observing the actual dark moon which as you point out cannot actually be seen. The new moon is the astronomical conjunction. Therefore, even though the moon is in a dark phase for 1.5 to 3 days, the actual conjunction, or New Moon, is a specific moment in time when the Moon and the Sun share the same ecliptic longitude. At this moment, the Moon is directly between the Earth and the Sun. The mistake many make is to believe that ancient societies were incapable of making calculations to know the exact conjunction, but ancient societies not only knew how to calculate the moon conjunction, but even understood how to calculate the equinox and precession of the equinoxes which span 25,772 years. Moreover, the ancients of Yucatan, Mexico built a pyramid at Chichen Itza in such a way that during the spring and fall equinoxes the sun of the late afternoon creates the illusion of a snake creeping slowly down the northern staircase. Obviously, the ancients had much more knowledge and capability of astronomical calculations than modern scholars wish to credit them. But beyond this, calculating the new moon doesn't even require the type of sophisticated mathematical and astronomical capability spoken above. It seems complicated to us who spend most of our time indoors and rarely watch the moon or sun rise and set. But for those who spend most of their time outdoors, even today, such calculations are almost second nature. I experienced this while spending time with indigenous tribal folks in Guyana, South America of the Awarewanau tribe who could look up at the sun at almost any time of day and tell me the precise time without having a watch. So how do we know the conjunction today? 1) Simply use the website www.timeanddate.com/moon/phases/israel/jerusalem 2) If you want to calculate it yourself, here are some steps: 1. Track Moonrise and Moonset: Note the time and position (azimuth) of the moonrise and moonset daily. 2. Identify Patterns: Around the conjunction, the Moon will be very close to the Sun in the sky and will rise and set with the Sun. You will also notice a pattern of how far the azimuth is changing on a daily basis, hence you will be able to predict the exact conjunction. This may take a couple of months for someone inexperienced, but after a couple of months, this will become obvious. Just before the conjunction, the waning crescent moon will rise shortly before sunrise. After the conjunction, the waxing crescent moon will set shortly after sunset. 3. Estimate the Conjunction: When the Moon’s rise and set times are nearly the same as the Sun’s, it indicates the conjunction. I hope you found this helpful. Shalom, Shalom, Moriyah
Moreh, thank you for the response to my question and especially for the website citing the times of new moon, solar equinox's etc, it'll definitely help, although I tend to do the observations and calculations myself, but for accuracy, it should be based on the times of Jerusalem/Egypt, especially when one needs to determine the accurate new moon for the beginning of months/new year and remembrance of Passover and keeping of unleavened bread. So again, thanks and Peace be to you and yours.
Shalom again Moray... what are your views on this or what is your understanding on this; The Biblical year begins with the first New Moon after the barley in Israel reaches the stage in its ripeness called Aviv. The period between one year and the next is either 12 or 13 lunar months. Because of this, it is important to check the state of the Barley crops at the end of the 12th month. If the barley is Aviv at this time, then the following New Moon is Hodesh Ha-Aviv ("New Moon of the Aviv"). If the barley is still immature, we must wait another month and then check the barley again at the end of the 13th month... The Kohenim (Priests) from the Priestly Body in the land of Yisrael checked the barley the other day to be able to determine if the Holy Day would have been on 03/23-24/24 and they observed that it wasn't in it's Aviv state so they had to add another month in order to be able to declare the month as the 1st month... I think the law is that they have to check the Barley in the last month to be able to determine if the following New Moon will be the 1st month, that's if the barley was in it's Aviv state, n if it wasn't, n the New Moon showed, that would have been the 13th Month because the Barley wasn't in it's Aviv state/form.. so as a result of this, they calculated Passover on the April, 23/24, 2024 instead of March 23/24, 2024... what are your views or understanding on this?
Shalom Achi, please read this article: "Understanding the Calendar." drive.google.com/file/d/1eLv6KbHKTlcFdZyUamcaDGVPNyekOuse/view?usp=sharing It explains when a new year begins. In short, years are solar, and start with the astronomical event, in this case, when the Spring equinox, takes place. The first month will always be the new moon closest to the equinox which means that the barley harvest, which will start on the day after the shabbat that falls during Hag Hamatzot will always start on or after the Spring equinox. The barley is always ready for harvest by the equinox as harvest cycles align with what we call seasons, and seasons start with the equinoxes and solstices.
Shalom shalom the video for Pesach this year was very informative :),@kabzielbenyisrael6971,1st Kings 4:7 and 1 Chronicles 27:1-15 are indicators that TMH gave us 12 months,I 'm wondering if a 13 month(Adar II) was added because it was/is a leap year??
Shalom achi and thanks for your question and the verses you shared. As we know, lunar months don’t fit neatly in a solar year. There are approximately 12.37 lunar months in a solar year from one new moon to the next. This calculation is based on the lunar month’s average length of about 29.53 days, while a solar year is about 365.25 days (Spring equinox to Spring equinox). In both of the references, we are given the basic (generalized) information where essentially, there are 12 lunar months in any given year, so there are 12 officers or deputies named to provide food during the year, one each month. Likewise there are 12 divisions of the army, each serving a month in the year and in Divrey Hayamim we see that each division is assigned a specific numbered month. Anciently, names weren’t used for the months. There is no mention of how they accounted for the fact that the lunar year would be short by about 1/3 month of the solar year meaning that at some point 13 new moons would take place prior to the new moon counted as the first month of the year. As the text doesn’t answer this, we can only speculate that they had a method of accounting for this fairly so that the responsibility was equally shared. But we really don’t know.
Shalom and thanks for your comment. Indeed, Yisrael did keep Pesach "...in the first month of the second year after they had come out of the land of Egypt..." (B'midbar 9:1) as you noted. However, that was the last Pesach they kept while they were in the wilderness (b'midbar). For the next 38 years, until they entered the land of Canaan, they didn't keep Pesach (Yehoshua "Josh" 5:2-10).
Shalom achi. The 2nd pesach (14th day of the 2nd new moon) will align with Gregorian calendar date of 4/22/24. Which means the pesach meal will be eaten as the 15th day of the month starts, when the sun sets on 4/22/24 and 4/23/24 begins. Please see the link below. The first day of the 2nd new moon aligns with 4/9/24. www.timeanddate.com/moon/phases/israel/jerusalem
