Today is March 21, 2020
March - Mars' month
Middle English March
Anglo-French March
Old English Martius
Latin Martius "of Mars"
Latin Marti(s) "Mars" + -us (adj. suffix)
Latin Martius mensis "month of Mars"
Martius has always had 31 days
We acknowledge Yehovah’s calendar:
We are now in the 12th
month, which is the month Adar אֲדָר -
day 25
Esth.3 [7] … to the twelfth month, that is, the month Adar..
אֲדָר Adar - to become glorious, make honorable; a cloak, mantle, “hidden”.
I can see by this word Adar, when broken down, it can
convey a message that the
invisible God wants to dwell among us and in us.

Lev.23
[1] And Yehovah spoke unto Moses, saying,
וַיְדַבֵּר
יְהוָה, אֶל-מֹשֶׁה
לֵּאמֹר
[2] Speak unto the children of Israel,
and say unto them, concerning the
feasts of Yehovah, which you shall
proclaim to be holy convocations, even these are my
feasts.
דַּבֵּר אֶל-בְּנֵי
יִשְׂרָאֵל, וְאָמַרְתָּ
אֲלֵהֶם, מוֹעֲדֵי
יְהוָה, אֲשֶׁר-תִּקְרְאוּ
אֹתָם מִקְרָאֵי
קֹדֶשׁ--אֵלֶּה
הֵם, מוֹעֲדָי
Yehovah explains the Sabbath
[3] Six days shall work be done:
but the seventh day is the Sabbath of rest, an holy convocation; you
shall do no work therein: it is the Sabbath of Yehovah in all your dwellings.
מוֹשְׁבֹתֵיכֶם
[4] These
are the feasts of Yehovah, even holy
convocations, which you shall proclaim in their seasons.
אֵלֶּה
מוֹעֲדֵי יְהוָה,
מִקְרָאֵי קֹדֶשׁ,
אֲשֶׁר-תִּקְרְאוּ
אֹתָם, בְּמוֹעֲדָם.
[5] In the fourteenth day of the first month at even is Yehovah's passover. פֶּסַח, לַיהוָה
[6] And on the fifteenth day of the same month is the feast of
unleavened bread unto Yehovah: seven days you must
eat unleavened bread.
[7] In the first day you shall
have an holy convocation: you
shall do no servile work therein.
[8] But you shall offer an
offering made by fire unto Yehovah seven days: in the
seventh day is a holy convocation: you shall do no servile work therein.
[9] And Yehovah spake unto Moses, saying,
[10] Speak unto the children of
Israel, and say unto them, When you be come into the land which I give unto
you, and shall reap the harvest thereof, then you shall bring a sheaf of the first fruits of your harvest unto the priest:
[11] And he shall wave the sheaf before
Yehovah, to be accepted for
you: on the morrow after the Sabbath the priest shall wave it.
[12] And you shall offer that day when you
wave the sheaf an he lamb without
blemish of the first year for a burnt offering unto Yehovah.
[13] And the meat offering thereof
shall be two tenth deals of fine flour mingled with oil, an offering made by
fire unto Yehovah for a sweet savor: and the drink
offering thereof shall be of wine, the fourth part of an hin.
[14] And you shall eat neither bread,
nor parched corn, nor green ears, until the selfsame day that you have brought
an offering unto your God: it shall be a statute for ever throughout your
generations in all your dwellings.
[15]
And you shall count unto you from the morrow after the Sabbath, from the day that you brought the sheaf of the
wave offering; seven Sabbaths shall be
complete:
[16]
Even unto the morrow after the seventh Sabbath shall you
number fifty days; and you shall offer a new meat offering unto Yehovah.
[17] Ye shall bring out of your
habitations two wave loaves of two tenth deals: they shall be of fine flour;
they shall be baken with leaven; they
are the first fruits unto Yehovah.
[18] And you shall offer with
the bread seven lambs wiyout blemish of the first
year, and one young bullock, and two rams: they shall be for a burnt offering
unto Yehovah, with their meat
offering, and their drink offerings, even an offering made by fire, of sweet savor unto Yehovah.
[19] Then you shall sacrifice
one kid of the goats for a sin offering, and two lambs of the first year for a
sacrifice of peace offerings.
[20] And the priest shall wave
them with the bread of the first fruits for a wave offering
before Yehovah, with the two lambs:
they shall be holy to Yehovah for the priest.
[21] And you shall proclaim on
the selfsame day, that it may be an holy convocation
unto you: you shall do no servile work therein: it shall be a statute forever in all your
dwellings throughout your generations.
[22] And when you reap the
harvest of your land, you shall not make clean riddance of the corners of thy field when you
reap, neither shall you gather any gleaning of thy harvest: you shall leave them unto the
poor, and to the stranger: I am Yehovah your God.
Passover and Feast of unleavened bread explained in Torah
We do the Passover and feast of unleavened bread today in memorial
with the understanding that Yeshua is our
Passover, first fruits is symbolic of the resurrection of Yeshua from the dead.
Exod.13
[1] And Yehovah spoke unto Moses,
saying,
[2] Sanctify unto me all the
firstborn, whatsoever opens the womb among the children of Israel, both of man and of
beast: it is mine.
[3] And Moses said unto the
people, Remember this day, in which you came out from Egypt, out of the house
of bondage; for by strength of hand Yehovah brought you out from
this place: there shall no leavened bread be eaten.
[4]
This day came you out in the month Abib – ha Aviv
Let’s read
Exod.12
[1] And Yehovah spoke unto Moses and
Aaron in the land of Egypt, saying,
[2] This month shall be unto you
the beginning of months: it shall be the first month of the year to you.
הַחֹדֶשׁ
הַזֶּה לָכֶם,
רֹאשׁ חֳדָשִׁים:
רִאשׁוֹן הוּא
לָכֶם, לְחָדְשֵׁי
הַשָּׁנָה
[3] Speak you unto all the congregation
of Israel, saying, in the tenth day of this month
they shall take to them every man a lamb, according to the house of their
fathers, a lamb for a house:
[4] And if the household be too
little for the lamb, let him and his neighbor next unto his house
take it according to the number of the souls; every man according to his eating
shall make your count for the lamb.
[5] Your lamb shall be without
blemish, a male of the first year: you shall take it out from the sheep, or
from the goats:
[6] And you shall keep it up until the fourteenth day of the same month: and the whole
assembly of the congregation of Israel shall kill it in the evening.
[7] And they shall take of the blood,
and strike it on the two side posts and on the upper door post of the houses,
wherein they shall eat it.
[8] And they shall eat the flesh
in that night, roast with fire, and unleavened bread; and with bitter herbs
they shall eat it.
[9] Eat not of it raw, nor sodden
at all with water, but roast with fire; his head with his legs, and with the purtenance thereof.
[10] And you shall let nothing
of it remain until the morning; and that which remaines of it until the
morning you shall burn with fire.
[11] And thus shall you eat it;
with your loins girded, your shoes on your feet, and your staff in your hand;
and you shall eat it in haste: it is Yehovah's Passover.
[12] For I will pass through the
land of Egypt this night, and will smite all the firstborn in the land of
Egypt, both man and beast; and against all the gods of Egypt I will execute
judgment: I am Yehovah.
[13] And the blood shall be to
you for a token upon the houses where you are: and when I see the blood, I will
pass over you, and the plague shall not be upon you to destroy you, when I
smite the land of Egypt.
[14]
And this day shall be unto you for a memorial;
הָיָה הַיּוֹם
הַזֶּה לָכֶם לְזִכָּרוֹן
and you shall
keep it a feast to Yehovah
throughout your generations; you shall keep it a feast by an ordinance forever.
[15] Seven days shall you eat
unleavened bread; even the first day you shall put away leaven חָמֵץ out of your houses: for whosoever eats leavened bread from
the first day until the seventh day, that soul shall be cut off from Israel.
[16]
And in the first day וּבַיּוֹם
הָרִאשׁוֹן there shall be an holy convocation, and in
the seventh day וּבַיּוֹם
הַשְּׁבִיעִי there shall be an holy convocation מִקְרָא-קֹדֶשׁ to you; no manner of work shall be done in
them, save that which every man must eat, that only may be done of you.
[17]
And you shall observe the feast of unleavened bread; for in this selfsame day
have I brought your armies out of the land of Egypt: therefore shall you
observe this day in your generations by an ordinance forever.
[18] In
the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month at even, you shall
eat unleavened bread, until the one and twentieth day of the month at even.
[19]
Seven days shall there be no leaven found in your houses: for whosoever eats that which is leavened, even that soul shall be
cut off from the congregation of Israel, whether he be a stranger, or born in
the land.
[20] Ye shall eat nothing
leavened; in all your habitations shall you eat unleavened bread.
[21] Then Moses called for all
the elders of Israel, and said unto them, Draw out and take
you a lamb according to your families, and kill the Passover.
[22] And you shall take a bunch
of hyssop, and dip it in the blood that is in the basin, and strike the
lintel and the two side posts with the blood that is in the basin; and none of you
shall go out at the door of his house until the morning.
[23] For Yehovah will pass through to smite the Egyptians; and when he seeth the blood upon the lintel, and on the two side posts, Yehovah will pass over the door, and will not suffer the destroyer
to come in unto your houses to smite you.
[24]
And you shall observe this thing for an ordinance to thee and to thy sons forever.
[25] And it shall come to pass,
when you be come to the land
which Yehovah will give you,
according as he hath promised, that you shall keep this service.
[26] And it shall come to pass,
when your children shall say unto you, What mean you by this
service?
[27] That you shall say, It is the sacrifice of Yehovah's Passover, who passed over the
houses of the children of Israel in Egypt, when he smote the Egyptians, and
delivered our houses.
And the
people bowed the head and worshipped.
[28] And the children of Israel
went away, and did as Yehovah had commanded Moses
and Aaron, so did they.
[29] And it came to pass, that at
midnight Yehovah smote all the
firstborn in the land of Egypt, from the firstborn of Pharoah that sat on his throne unto the firstborn of the captive
that was in the dungeon; and all the firstborn of cattle.
[30] And Pharaoh rose up in the night,
he, and all his servants, and all the Egyptians; and there was a great cry in
Egypt; for there was not a house where there was not one dead.
[31] And he called for Moses and Aaron
by night, and said, Rise up, and get you forth from among
my people, both you and the children of Israel; and go, serve Yehovah, as you have said.
[32] Also take your flocks and your
herds, as you have said, and be gone; and bless me also.
[33] And the Egyptians were urgent upon
the people that they might send them out of the land in haste; for they said, we be
all dead men.
34] And the people took their dough before it was leavened,
their kneading troughs being bound up in their clothes upon their shoulders.
[35] And the children of Israel
did according to the word of Moses; and they borrowed of the Egyptians jewels
of silver, and jewels of gold, and raiment:
[36] And Yehovah gave the people favor in the sight of the
Egyptians, so that they lent unto them such things as they required. And they
spoiled the Egyptians.
[37] And the children of Israel
journeyed from Rameses to Succoth, about
six hundred thousand on foot that were men, beside children.
[38] And a mixed multitude went
up also with them; and flocks, and herds, even very much cattle.
[39] And they baked unleavened
cakes of the dough which they brought forth out of Egypt, for it was not
leavened; because they were thrust out of Egypt, and could not tarry, neither
had they prepared for themselves any victual.
[40] Now the sojourning of the
children of Israel, who dwelt in Egypt, was four hundred and thirty years.
[41] And it came to pass at the
end of the four hundred and thirty years, even the selfsame day it came to
pass, that all the hosts of Yehovah went out from the
land of Egypt.
**[42] It is a night to be much
observed unto Yehovah for bringing them out from the
land of Egypt: this is that night of Yehovah to be
observed of all the children of Israel in their generations.
[43]
And Yehovah said unto Moses and Aaron,
This is the ordinance of the passover:
זֹאת חֻקַּת
הַפָּסַח
There shall no stranger eat thereof:
כָּל-בֶּן-נֵכָר,
לֹא-יֹאכַל בּוֹ
[44]
But every man's servant that is bought for money, when you hast circumcised
him, then shall he eat thereof.
[45]
A foreigner and a hired servant shall not eat thereof.
תּוֹשָׁב
וְשָׂכִיר, לֹא-יֹאכַל
בּוֹ
[46]
In one house shall it be eaten; you shall not carry forth ought of the flesh
abroad out of the house; neither shall you break a bone thereof.
[47] All the congregation of Israel
shall keep it.
[48] And when a
stranger shall sojourn with thee,
and will keep the passover to Yehovah,
let all his males be
circumcised, and then let him come
near and keep it; and he shall be as one that is born in the land: for no uncircumcised person shall eat thereof.
[49] One law shall be to him that is home
born, and unto the stranger that sojourns among you.
תּוֹרָה אַחַת, יִהְיֶה
לָאֶזְרָח, וְלַגֵּר,
הַגָּר בְּתוֹכְכֶם
[50]
Thus did all the children of Israel; as Yehovah
commanded Moses and Aaron, so did they.
[51] And it came to pass the
selfsame day that Yehovah did bring the children of
Israel out of the land of Egypt by their armies.
In
closing:
