The cycles of time and the lives of all mankind are governed by the great timepeice placed in the heavens at the very beginning, the orbits of stars within thier galaxies as well as the planets and moons within the solar system were created and ordered in thier proper places, according to His purpose and choosing, every human being is subject to these, whether we are aware of them or not, the scriptures explained how this timepiece in our solar system worked long before mankind had ever explored space or even became aware of orbital trajectories and such, the mystries of the universe are explained (in part) in the text contained in scritpure. The Father set all this in order and has shown us through revelation to mankind within the text, from Genesis to Revelation, all we need do is search them, there are certain days and months directly commanded to observe in the Torah, and others it seems, though not directly commanded, were observed by men of old who followed the Father and His ways.
The purpose of this study is to show not only the importance of the new moon and what events took place as recorded in scripture on this day but also to show how we can apply in our lives not only its observence but the blessings associated with it, as you know, the longer we walk in truth the more is revealed, and the more is revealed the more we can benifit from it, the observence of the new moon is not to add yet another requirement, but rather to receive the blessings of a closer walk with Yahweh.

We will begine with a list of significant events on new moons
1.the tops of the mountains were seen (gen.8:5) (gen. 8:13)
2. the deliverance of Israel from bondage (exo. 12:2)
3.the wilderness tabernacle was set up (exo. 40:2)
4. the children of Irael were recorded according to there families (num.1:18)
5. sacrifices commanded (num. 28:11-15)
6.the feast of trumpets (lev. 23:24)
7.Aron died (num. 33:38-39)
8.Moses commanded Israel to posses the land (duet. 1:3-13)
9.Ezra deprted from Babylon with the decree to rebiuld the temple (ezr. 3:1-6)
10.the Torah was read to the people the 1 time since the captivity (neh. 8:1-3)
11.the preisthood was cleansed (exr.10:16-17)
12.many prophecies were given on new moon, (eze.26:1-4 eze. 2914-19)
13. did the angel Gabriel announce the Saviors birth on the new moon? (luke 1:26)
here is a list of things that show the new moon was observed and held as important.
1. 1st Sam.20:5-6
2. 2sam. 4:23
3.psa. 81:3
4.Isa.66:23
5.eze.46:1
6.amos 8:5
7. col. 2:16

This is not to be missunderstood as me trying to say anyone needs to observe the new moon, but rather is becuase I find it intersing that is is mentioned so many times in sctiprue.
I dont believe anything was recorded in the biblical text for now reason, and even though much is shadows of things to come , many are propetic and nature and require a good deal of study ti undertand them, this is the beginnig of such a study.

That is interesting. I wonder if some of it has to do with events that happened in their daily lives which would be recognizable to them? and so they recorded things in a way that they could remember -

I don't know - I'm just thinking out loud here as there is a new moon every month so they would understand that time period. Still it is interesting. Thanks for the list.

I was just looking a couple of ones on your list and this one doesn't say anything about a new moon. I have not looked at them all just a few but it just says on the first day of the 5th month. How do you know that he first day in the 5th month is always a new moon?

Numbers 33:38-39 (NASB)
[SUP]38 [/SUP] Then Aaron the priest went up to Mount Hor at the command of the LORD, and died there in the fortieth year after the sons of Israel had come from the land of Egypt, on the first day in the fifth month.

[SUP]39 [/SUP] Aaron was one hundred twenty-three years old when he died on Mount Hor.

because the months are reckoned by the moon so every first day of any given month is that new moon.

So, every first day in every month is a new moon? How do you know that? It certainly doesn't work in this time period now.

they are using the old Hebrew calendar. hey Hebrew roots guys, I've found a bit of mold in my basement. you know any jewish priests that could come and inspect it??
 
Isaiah 1:13
Bring no more vain oblations; incense is an abomination unto me; the new moons and sabbaths, the calling of assemblies, I cannot away with; it is iniquity, even the solemn meeting.

Isaiah 1:14
Your new moons and your appointed feasts my soul hateth: they are a trouble unto me; I am weary to bear them.

Hosea 2:11
I will also cause all her mirth to cease, her feast days, her new moons, and her sabbaths, and all her solemn feasts.

Amos 8:4-6
4 Hear this, O ye that swallow up the needy, even to make the poor of the land to fail,
5 Saying, When will the new moon be gone, that we may sell corn? and the sabbath, that we may set forth wheat, making the ephah small, and the shekel great, and falsifying the balances by deceit?
6 That we may buy the poor for silver, and the needy for a pair of shoes; yea, and sell the refuse of the wheat?

Colossians 2:15-17
15 And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it.
16 Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days:
17 Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ.

How do we know that the old Hebrew calendar is really true in that every new moon is the first day of that month that the new moon occurs?

Who said that that's the way the calendar was made up?

Is it in scripture or a man-made tradition?
 
In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second *month, the seventeenth day of the *month, the same day were all the fountains of the great deep broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened.

Genesis 7:11 (KJV, MBM)

*month:
Strongs: H2320 chodesh (kho'-desh) n-m.
1. the new moon
2. (by implication) a month
Brown-Driver-Briggs:

Original: - Transliteration: Chodesh - Phonetic: kho'-desh - Definition:
1. the new moon, month, monthly
a. the first day of the month
b. the lunar month


now you folks are just being silly.

I have s study Bible, and their is a chart showing the Hebrew calendar and how it corresponds to our modern one. I have not read through that part of the O.T. in a while. i'm sure you can look it up quickly.

Am I missing something...now the 17th day is a new moon in the 2nd month?

This scripture for "month" is the exact same Hebrew word for month and now it looks like the new moon is on the 10th day.

Exodus 12:3 (NASB)
[SUP]3 [/SUP] "Speak to all the congregation of Israel, saying, 'On the tenth of this month they are each one to take a lamb for themselves, according to their fathers' households, a lamb for each household.


This occurs over 254 times that it is translated as "month" and in many cases the day of the month fluctuates so again how do we know that the first day of every month is a new moon?
 
you are really not being that silly.
you just like to argue.
the new moon was the first day of the month, hence the definitions.

if this is all you have to argue about, you need to go to bed or something.

I am not arguing - I'm trying to find out how people have determined the new moon is on the first day of every month. I thought you said it had something to do with Noah in post #10?....is that true or were you referring to something else?

sir, I was using a verse that had the word "month" to show you how Strongs and BDB define "month".

the first day of the month is the first day of the new moon.
 
Maybe their months weren't always 30-31 days? Is that possible? I was googking lunar phases and it does very by a day on average. Maybe the calculated the month based on the cycle instead of our modern way of dividing months

yes, very true.

I believe, before the deluge, the (lunar) months were a perfect 30 day cycle.
After the deluge, not so much.
But in the future, in my opinion, the next great earthquake, may throw us into another perfect 30 day lunar cycle.

Where in the bible does it say that the first day of each month is a new moon?
 
as far as I know, brother, in English, it does not say specifically.

I think in the Hebrew, it is a lot more clear what the words mean.

What scripture says that?..the one you gave about Noah ? I asking legitimate questions as I still don't see where this new moon is on the first of every month.
