Re: The Missing Passover - Dawid - 03-04-2010 Fascinating thought, but it is not true that no one would ever celebrate on a different date. Essenes had their own calendar and determined Pesach at an entirely different time. Unless, of course, the Dead Sea Scrolls are a hoax like the Hazon Gavriel Re: The Missing Passover - Dawid - 03-13-2010 Ben Masada Wrote:I didn't say they didn't celebrate it on the 14th of Nisan. I said they had their own calendar. They celebrated Passover on the 14th of Nisan, but they had a different 14th of Nisan.Dawid Wrote:Fascinating thought, but it is not true that no one would ever celebrate on a different date.

I'm afraid you are incorrect in saying that the calendar is the calendar. That is simply not true.

Re: The Missing Passover - Dawid - 03-25-2010 Keep telling yourself that. ;-) Re: The Missing Passover - Dawid - 03-25-2010 Oh, and by the way, it would be entirely possible for the Qumranic Passover to come before the Passover celebrated by the rest of Judaism, since the 4Q325 and 4Q321 indicate that they were using a 364 day solar calendar, not a lunar calendar. We can see even more calendrical diversity in second temple period Judaism if we look at the thoughts of Philo and the books of Enoch. Re: The Missing Passover - Dawid - 03-27-2010 Ben Masada Wrote:Wow. Seriously? This is ridiculous. I can tell you that it must have happened more than once in history that the Essene Passover came before the one of the rest of Judaism. It's mathematically impossible for it to have always come afterwards. You're really reaching now.Dawid Wrote:Oh, and by the way, it would be entirely possible for the Qumranic Passover to come before the Passover celebrated by the rest of Judaism, since the 4Q325 and 4Q321 indicate that they were using a 364 day solar calendar, not a lunar calendar.--------------- Re: The Missing Passover - Dawid - 04-02-2010 The Essenes were celebrating it on the 14th and 15th like everyone else, but they calculated the beginning of Nisan differently. They used the equinox to determine the beginning of the year, rather than agricultural indicators. Re: The Missing Passover - Dawid - 04-02-2010 Ben Masada Wrote:They don't, but the Dead Sea Scrolls do tell us about it. Philo also refers to this system.Dawid Wrote:The Essenes were celebrating it on the 14th and 15th like everyone else, but they calculated the beginning of Nisan differently.

However, they calculated the 14th differently than the Sages did. Re: The Missing Passover - jborean - 04-05-2010 Based on my findings and the work of many others I am currious to know what year the preparation day (the 14th of Nissan) occured on Wednesday... I have yet to really have anyone state absolutley the accuracy of matching up the calendar without at least a days uncertainty. I believe that the Passover was not on the weekly Sabbath but on the Wednesday prior. Which would allow for the following chronology: Jesus' Death Wed at the appointed hour of the slaughter of the Passover Lamb. Jesus' Burial Wed Night (1 Day and Night) Thur Day till Friday Day (2nd Day and Night) Weekly Sabbath Friday Night till Saturday Day (3rd Day and Night... as required by the Law to complete the law and be considered actually dead and to of course also fullfill the prophecy in comparison to Jonah) Jesus' ressurection after Saturday sundown and before Sunday sunrise Re: The Missing Passover - Dawid - 04-07-2010 Ben Masada Wrote:That isn't an argument, and it doesn't even make sense.Dawid Wrote:The Essenes were celebrating it on the 14th and 15th like everyone else, but they calculated the beginning of Nisan differently.
