Sabbath 9 (rare but apparently found in the year of the gospel liturgy) is the reading which follows the Song of Songs i.e. 15:20 = the crossing of the Jordan. The point is that whether it is an eight week liturgy or the nine the underlying anticipation is of the crossing of the Jordan on the 1st of Nissan which always follows.

Exactly the twenty-fourth part of Seven 360 day years, or of 360 weeks.

360 weeks being 2520 days, or 60480 hours, or 3628800 minutes*, or 217728000 seconds.

* Ten digits on your hands.
1x2x3x4x5x6x7x8x9x10=3628800 the number of minutes in 360 weeks or 7 Biblical years.

Note that the 15 weeks have 2520 hours, the exact middle being 1260 hours, 7.5 weeks, the 24th part of 1260 days.

This is the invariable STANDARDIZED yardstick on which all events, such as the equinoxes, 'new moons' 'High Sabbaths', and The Levitical courses may be located, plotted, measured and anticipated.

The shaneh 'year' is a 'repetition' or a cycle and it may be of any length, as long as it is 'equal' in each 'repetition'.

Thus there is a 360 day shaneh as well as a 365.25 day shaneh, as well as a 367.5 shaneh (7 cycles of 1260 hours or 7.5 weeks)
This also is the system that underlies the Scriptures lineal units of measure.
Units of Time are what set the Standards. These Standards of time and linear measure are far older than the Bible, and did not originate with the Hebrews.

And I am not yet telling you the hundredth part of what may be discovered.

There is an additional note here:

Quote:

From the Sabbath after the conjunction (zimmuth) to the (5th Sabbath i.e. 4, 5, 6) there shall be said after the lesson "Each one who crosses over to those already counted is to give a half shekel, according to the sanctuary shekel, which weighs twenty gerahs. This half shekel is an offering to the LORD" [Ex. 31.13] and on the last of these sabbaths (i.e. Sabbath 6) the passage mentioned closes the lesson, and the reader shall read with a loud voice "All who cross over, those twenty years old or more, are to give an offering to the LORD" and the congregation shall finish the reading from the place "Receive the atonement money from the Israelites and use it for the service of the tent of meeting. It will be a memorial for the Israelites before the LORD, making atonement for your lives"

On the last two Sabbaths (i.e. 7 and 8) after the lesson shall be said "Speak to the entire assembly of Israel and say to them: ‘Be holy because I, the LORD your God, am holy" [Numbers 19:2]

stephan huller · 04-11-2012, 12:36 AM

Sabbath 10 (Sabbath 1 of Leviticus and first sabbath of the first month) the reading starts with Leviticus 1:1-

Quote:

The LORD called to Moses and spoke to him from the tent of meeting. He said, 2 “Speak to the Israelites and say to them: ‘When anyone among you brings an offering to the LORD, bring as your offering an animal from either the herd or the flock. 3 “‘If the offering is a burnt offering from the herd, you are to offer a male without defect. You must present it at the entrance to the tent of meeting so that it will be acceptable to the LORD. 4 You are to lay your hand on the head of the burnt offering, and it will be accepted on your behalf to make atonement for you. 5 You are to slaughter the young bull before the LORD, and then Aaron’s sons the priests shall bring the blood and splash it against the sides of the altar at the entrance to the tent of meeting. 6 You are to skin the burnt offering and cut it into pieces. 7 The sons of Aaron the priest are to put fire on the altar and arrange wood on the fire. 8 Then Aaron’s sons the priests shall arrange the pieces, including the head and the fat, on the wood that is burning on the altar. 9 You are to wash the internal organs and the legs with water, and the priest is to burn all of it on the altar. It is a burnt offering, a food offering, an aroma pleasing to the LORD.

and goes to Lev 6:9:

Quote:

The LORD said to Moses: 2 “If anyone sins and is unfaithful to the LORD by deceiving a neighbor about something entrusted to them or left in their care or about something stolen, or if they cheat their neighbor, 3 or if they find lost property and lie about it, or if they swear falsely about any such sin that people may commit— 4 when they sin in any of these ways and realize their guilt, they must return what they have stolen or taken by extortion, or what was entrusted to them, or the lost property they found, 5 or whatever it was they swore falsely about. They must make restitution in full, add a fifth of the value to it and give it all to the owner on the day they present their guilt offering. 6 And as a penalty they must bring to the priest, that is, to the LORD, their guilt offering, a ram from the flock, one without defect and of the proper value. 7 In this way the priest will make atonement for them before the LORD, and they will be forgiven for any of the things they did that made them guilty.” The LORD said to Moses

There are obvious parallels with the theme of the Zacchaeus narrative which Clement of Alexandria says closes, completes or explains Mark 10:17 - 31

stephan huller · 04-11-2012, 12:48 AM

Sabbath 11 - reading starts with Leviticus 6:9:

Quote:

“Give Aaron and his sons this command: ‘These are the regulations for the burnt offering: The burnt offering is to remain on the altar hearth throughout the night, till morning, and the fire must be kept burning on the altar. 10 The priest shall then put on his linen clothes, with linen undergarments next to his body, and shall remove the ashes of the burnt offering that the fire has consumed on the altar and place them beside the altar. 11 Then he is to take off these clothes and put on others, and carry the ashes outside the camp to a place that is ceremonially clean. 12 The fire on the altar must be kept burning; it must not go out. Every morning the priest is to add firewood and arrange the burnt offering on the fire and burn the fat of the fellowship offerings on it. 13 The fire must be kept burning on the altar continuously; it must not go out.

to Lev 9:22:

Quote:

Then he slaughtered the burnt offering. His sons handed him the blood, and he splashed it against the sides of the altar. 13 They handed him the burnt offering piece by piece, including the head, and he burned them on the altar. 14 He washed the internal organs and the legs and burned them on top of the burnt offering on the altar. 15 Aaron then brought the offering that was for the people. He took the goat for the people’s sin offering and slaughtered it and offered it for a sin offering as he did with the first one. 16 He brought the burnt offering and offered it in the prescribed way. 17 He also brought the grain offering, took a handful of it and burned it on the altar in addition to the morning’s burnt offering. 18 He slaughtered the ox and the ram as the fellowship offering for the people. His sons handed him the blood, and he splashed it against the sides of the altar. 19 But the fat portions of the ox and the ram—the fat tail, the layer of fat, the kidneys and the long lobe of the liver— 20 these they laid on the breasts, and then Aaron burned the fat on the altar. 21 Aaron waved the breasts and the right thigh before the LORD as a wave offering, as Moses commanded

A note is added:

Quote:

On these two Sabbaths after the lesson it is to be said "“Speak to the Israelites and say to them: ‘These are my appointed festivals, the appointed festivals of the LORD, which you are to proclaim as sacred assemblies"

stephan huller · 04-11-2012, 12:55 AM

Passover follows and then Sabbath 12 reading starts Lev 9:22 -

Quote:

Then Aaron lifted his hands toward the people and blessed them. And having sacrificed the sin offering, the burnt offering and the fellowship offering, he stepped down. 23 Moses and Aaron then went into the tent of meeting. When they came out, they blessed the people; and the glory of the LORD appeared to all the people. 24 Fire came out from the presence of the LORD and consumed the burnt offering and the fat portions on the altar. And when all the people saw it, they shouted for joy and fell facedown.

and goes down to Lev 13.38 and a discussion of leprosy

I am very intrigued by this notion of the 'coupling' of Moses and his 'brother' Aaron at the heart of the Samaritan narrative of Exodus. The Samaritans do not preserve the sexual metaphor of Israel as god's 'bride' that develops from the Song of Songs in Judaism and Christianity. Yet this reference to the Zimmuth of Passover seems to be an interesting variant. In Numbers 25 a related term - tsamad - is witnessed in the negative (i.e. of Israel's 'coupling' with Baal Peor:

Quote:

While Israel was staying in Shittim, the men began to indulge in sexual immorality with Moabite women, 2 who invited them to the sacrifices to their gods. The people ate the sacrificial meal and bowed down before these gods. 3 So Israel yoked themselves (way·yiṣ·ṣā·meḏ) to the Baal of Peor. And the LORD’s anger burned against them. 4 The LORD said to Moses, “Take all the leaders of these people, kill them and expose them in broad daylight before the LORD, so that the LORD’s fierce anger may turn away from Israel.” 5 So Moses said to Israel’s judges, “Each of you must put to death those of your people who have yoked themselves (han·niṣ·mā·ḏîm) to the Baal of Peor.”

I wonder whether this idea of zamed and zimmut are at the heart of the Christian concept of 'church' (ekklesia) or brother-making. The terminology has relation to magic and the 'binding' or 'coupling' with God.

The reason why the Samaritans celebrate the Exodus starting in the first Sabbath for eleven weeks is that it is held that Moses learning of the 'sign' of the serpent happened in the eleventh month. From the Book of Enlightenment of Jacob the Son of Aaron:

Quote:

I have been asked, concerning the wonders which took place with respect to Pharaoh and his people, How long did each and all of the plagues last? The answer is as follows: -

As to the period during which the wonders took place by the hand of our lord, the apostle Moses (upon whom be peace),[1] while he was in Egypt, it was that of two months and a half.

The first wonder took place in the eleventh month, and the last took place in the first. It is so affirmed by our traditions, handed down from father to son, and is so accepted and agreed upon by the people of Israel.

We believe that the wonder of the staff that turned into a serpent lasted less than a single day. As to the wonder of blood, it lasted seven days; for we read: "And seven days were fulfilled after Jehovah[2] had smitten the river." The period of the wonder of frogs lasted two days. That of the plague of lice is not mentioned. Some assert that the plague has continued on Egypt ever since that day[3].

The plague of flies lasted only one day, and left them on the day following. The miracle of the destruction of the cattle lasted only one hour. As to the wonder of the boils with blains, it lasted a whole week. The miracle with the hail lasted one day; likewise lasted the plague of locusts. The miracle of darkness lasted three days, as we read: "For a period of three days no man saw his brother." The period of the killing of the first-born lasted one single hour. To one who might make the statement that these periods would not make out the total time of two and one half months, as previously indicated, the answer is, that there transpired some intervals of time between one miracle and another. It is asserted that the time divisions were uniform, and that each was of seven days, including the period of each miracle and the interval; for, as soon as the miracle of blood ceased, the Nile let loose on them its frogs, and the whole earth was filled with them. However, a certain amount of space elapsed after each miracle, that the two apostles might have time to carry their message to Pharaoh and to receive his reply thereto, and act accordingly. Thus the whole period of miracles amounted to two months and a half.

And God possesses the best knowledge of all things.

Jacob also speaks of a tradition that Moses and Aaron were taught the Passover sacrifice on the first of the first month.
