‘The nature of Rosh Hashana and Yom Kippur suggest that we must forgive and forget.’ During the month prior to the festivals‚ many rituals occur‚ in an attempt to wipe ones record free of sins. However‚ some could believe that the two festivals should not be the only time for this‚ and in some circumstances we aren’t able to repair our sins. The 1st of Tishri comes after the month of Ellul. Ellul is a time we Jews must spend preparing ourselves for judgement by correcting wrong doings throughout

I believe that Mark includes so much detail in this passage for a couple different reasons. The first reason is to establish Jesus’ authority as God to be all knowing. The second reason is that by putting in some details about the Feast of Unleavened‚ this allows people today to understand the realities of the festival and what it entails for those who participate in it. 2. ›› According to Exodus 14:12-25‚ for the Passover‚ each Israelite family had to take a lamb on the tenth day of the month

Throughout the Bible‚ there are many sections that are quite memorable and that leave us with a positive message. However‚ there are some sections that are not read out loud in mass because of how disturbing they are‚ and one of those sections is Ezekiel 16.

This theory is that the Canaanites were the Israelites‚ or became the Israelites‚ and there was no Exodus‚ or conquering of the land of Canaan
