Shlama Akhi Stephen,
Saying The Feast of Weeks or "counting of the omer" is just that, "weeks", does not prove your point! It's abit like me saying a week is a long time in politics to prove the duration of a week...... yes thats right its meaningless!
Lets look at it another way, what evidence do you have that "week" means Sabbath?
You stated earlier that b'khad b'shaba literally means in the first in seven. I then pointed out that the aramaic word for seven is not in the text, and that there is no equivalent word for week in aramaic. Additionally the cardinal "one" has been rendered as the ordinal "first." If you are going to start ignoring inflections you are really on shacky ground!
In the greek if it was correct to render sabbath as week, then you simply use the greek transliterated word for week "hebdoma", the fact that it has not been done must surely tell you something!
There is nothing simple about a Sunday resurrection, not least 2 days and 2 nights do not equal 3 days 3 nights as demanded by Mathew 12:40 and was the only sign Yeshua would give.
