Twelve hours are reckoned between 6 PM & 6 AM and twelve hours between 6 AM & 6 PM. Hence 3 PM is called the ninth hour and 5 PM the eleventh hour.Mick Nultehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00770621126277620241noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7147097367992301830.post-2892856812868963342017-05-14T13:27:45.882-04:002017-05-14T13:27:45.882-04:00Reference: Josephus, “The Jewish War” Book 6: Chap...Reference: Josephus, “The Jewish War” Book 6: Chapter 9: Passage 3: “So these high priests, upon the coming of that feast which is called the Passover, when they slay their sacrifices, from the ninth hour till the eleventh, but so that a company not less than ten belong to every sacrifice, (for it is not lawful for them to feast singly by themselves,) and many of us are twenty in a company, found the number of sacrifices was two hundred and fifty-six thousand five hundred;”Mick Nultehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00770621126277620241noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7147097367992301830.post-48051544819826357092016-04-19T08:06:43.005-04:002016-04-19T08:06:43.005-04:00Some historians have suggested that because of siz...Some historians have suggested that because of size of the Passover celebration and the number of lambs that were sacrificed, the sacrificial period had to be extended beyond the period between sunset and darkness on Nisan 14. Extending it back into the daylight hours of Nisan 13 wasn’t an option. The Passover lambs had to be sacrificed on Nisan 14. Moreover, it didn’t make good sense to sacrifice the lambs after dark. The only workable solution was to move the sacrifice to the following afternoon, the sacrificial period observed by the Pharisees.Mick Nultehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00770621126277620241noreply@blogger.com
