Another sabbath that wasn't the weekly sabbath

Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, In the seventh month, in the first [day] of the month, shall ye have a sabbath, a memorial of blowing of trumpets, an holy convocation. Leviticus 23:24

Another sabbath that wasn't the weekly sabbath

Also on the tenth [day] of this seventh month [there shall be] a day of atonement: it shall be an holy convocation unto you; and ye shall afflict your souls, and offer an offering made by fire unto the LORD. And ye shall do no work in that same day: for it [is] a day of atonement, to make an atonement for you before the LORD your God. Leviticus 23:27-28
Ye shall do no manner of work: [it shall be] a statute for ever throughout your generations in all your dwellings. It [shall be] unto you a sabbath of rest, and ye shall afflict your souls: in the ninth [day] of the month at even, from even unto even, shall ye celebrate your sabbath. Leviticus 23:31-32

15 “‘From the day after the Sabbath, the day you brought the sheaf of the wave offering, count off seven full weeks. 16 Count off fifty days up to the day after the seventh Sabbath, and then present an offering of new grain to the Lord.

Many Translations do not include the word Sabbath in verse 24

Speak to the children of Israel, saying, ‘In the seventh month, on the first day of the month, there shall be a solemn rest for you, a memorial of blowing of trumpets, a holy convocation.

The Sabbath
3 “‘There are six days when you may work, but the seventh day is a day of sabbath rest, a day of sacred assembly. You are not to do any work; wherever you live, it is a sabbath to the Lord.

Lord didn't add any other days here

We're not used to thinking the day starts in the evening, so let's use clock time. Buried Weds 5:59PM; Thurs 6PM to Fri 5:59 PM, one day/night; Fri 6PM to Sat 5:59PM, one day/night; Sat 6PM to Sun 5:59PM, one day/night; resurrected Sun 6PM, 3 days/nights

A high day refers to a festival sabbath, not the weekly sabbath.

The Jews therefore, because it was the preparation, that the bodies should not remain upon the cross on the sabbath day, (for that sabbath day was an high day,) besought Pilate that their legs might be broken, and [that] they might be taken away. John 19:31

I'm afraid I'm missing your point with regard to this topic.
Because the "night" word was only used in Jesus's discourse referring to Jonah who had 3 days and nights.

PLUS
Jesus also declared he was only going to speak in prose to the Pharisees. Meaning that there's enough wiggle room for this to be straining a gnat while swallowing a gnat infested camel.

From AI:

"A "high day" refers to a special Sabbath that coincides with one of the annual biblical festivals, marking significant days of rest and worship. These high Sabbaths are distinct from the regular weekly Sabbath and are observed during specific feasts outlined in the Bible. "

Let's not. The event in issue occurred 2000 years ago. I believe they used a sunset to sunset calendar day.

Not knocking what you have said here.

But I have noticed that English speech patterns are shifting to accommodate AI.

We are very slowly losing our ability to use poetic speech and idioms. All the hyperbole and metaphoric language are slowly evaporating from our speech patterns.
Making scripture discernment even more difficult for the subsequent generations.

Uggghhhh

I simply used clock time to avoid the confusion that results when trying to describe the details of evening to evening days. You can't argue with the numbers

-----------------------------------------
I would disagree.

It was also a preparation day because they prepared for the 7th day. A high day because the feast of Unleavened Bread started on the 7th day Sabbath

Lev 23:7 On the first day hold a sacred assembly and do no regular work.

And concerning Passover--always on a Full Moon. So, take that into your calculations

So, you're saying that means it had to be the only time when He didn't actually mean it when He said that a night would be involved with an event?



[QUOTE Jesus also declared he was only going to speak in prose to the Pharisees. Meaning that there's enough wiggle room for this to be straining a gnat while swallowing a gnat infested camel. [/QUOTE]

The Messiah used virtually all prose when speaking to anyone. So, does that mean there was "wiggle room" with regard to everything He said?

When did evening begin and end in the Messiah's time?

The topic is not asking for when the crucifixion took place. It's asking for an explanation for making a Friday work.
It does make Friday work if you make your own calendar and call the 5th day "Friday."

I'm assuming that the Friday crucifixion advocates mentioned in the OP are referring to the 6th day of the week.

Nope....
But taking an Originalist perspective the third night in this instance applies solely to Jonah....the days are more than sufficient to complete a perfect parallel.
