for_o example_n four_o place_n of_o scripture_n do_v command_v they_o to_o offer_v the_o daily_a evening_n sacrifice_n between_o the_o two_o evening_n but_o many_o more_o place_n say_v it_o shall_v be_v do_v or_o sacrifice_v in_o gnereb_n the_o evening_n five_o place_n command_v all_o the_o passover_n to_o be_v sacrifice_v between_o the_o two_o evening_n but_o more_o place_n say_v it_o shall_v be_v do_v or_o sacrifice_v in_o gnereb_n the_o evening_n one_o place_n say_v that_o the_o priest_n must_v cause_v the_o lamp_n to_o burn_v between_o the_o two_o evening_n but_o other_o place_n say_v in_o the_o evening_n one_o place_n say_v the_o quail_n come_v between_o the_o two_o evening_n but_o other_o place_n say_v they_o come_v in_o gnereb_n the_o evening_n therefore_o gnereb_n and_o

gnereb_n hence_o i_o conclude_v that_o the_o hebrew_n word_n gnereb_n do_v not_o exemplify_v the_o two_o part_n of_o gnereb_n exemplify_v signify_v such_o a_o confuse_a mixture_n as_o be_v between_o

such_o a_o connexion_n as_o may_v be_v distinguish_v or_o sever_v from_o each_o other_o into_o two_o distinct_a part_n as_o i_o may_v exemplify_v the_o matter_n by_o a_o particoloured_a coat_n one_o

and_o the_o time_n of_o twilight_n that_o couple_n these_o two_o evening_n together_o may_v be_v liken_v to_o the_o seam_n that_o couple_n the_o white_a and_o black_a piece_n together_o for_o the_o

sabbath_n this_o sabbath_n be_v singular_a from_o other_o sabbath_n in_o two_o regard_n 1_o no_o other_o sabbath_n be_v like_o it_o for_o the_o service_n of_o it_o 2_o no_o other_o sabbath_n be_v like_o it_o for_o the_o length_n of_o it_o 1_o no_o other_o sabbath_n be_v like_o it_o for_o the_o service_n of_o it_o for_o 1._o all_o the_o sacrifice_n of_o this_o day_n be_v command_v to_o be_v do_v by_o the_o high_a priest_n only_o but_o on_o other_o sabbath_n they_o may_v be_v do_v by_o any_o other_o priest_n as_o well_o as_o by_o the_o high_a priest_n 2_o there_o be_v more_o burnt-offering_n command_v to_o be_v offer_v for_o the_o public_a on_o this_o sabbath_n than_o on_o any_o other_o sabbath_n 3_o more_o incense_n must_v be_v offer_v on_o this_o day_n than_o on_o any_o other_o day_n 4_o there_o be_v more_o often_o sprinkle_v of_o blood_n on_o this_o day_n than_o on_o any_o other_o day_n 5_o the_o high_a priest_n do_v often_o wash_v on_o this_o day_n than_o on_o any_o other_o day_n 6_o he_o use_v more_o sort_n of_o priestly_a garment_n on_o this_o day_n than_o on_o any_o other_o day_n 7_o he_o do_v more_o often_o change_v his_o garment_n on_o this_o day_n than_o on_o any_o other_o day_n 8_o the_o high_a priest_n do_v enter_v into_o the_o holy_a of_o holies_n on_o this_o day_n and_o on_o no_o day_n else_o all_o the_o year_n long_o and_o thus_o no_o day_n be_v like_o this_o sabbath_n in_o the_o service_n of_o it_o 2_o no_o day_n be_v like_o this_o day_n for_o the_o length_n of_o it_o neither_o in_o respect_n of_o the_o fast_o nor_o in_o respect_n of_o holy_a rest_n of_o it_o for_o though_o it_o be_v command_v to_o bâ—_n observe_v in_o the_o ten_o day_n of_o the_o seven_o month_n leu._n 23._o 27._o yet_o it_o be_v also_o command_v to_o begin_v in_o the_o evening_n of_o the_o nine_o day_n leu._n 23._o 32._o this_o evening_n of_o the_o nine_o day_n have_v a_o double_a interpretation_n 1_o some_o understand_v it_o of_o the_o sacrifice-evening_n of_o the_o nine_o day_n 2_o some_o understand_v it_o of_o the_o evening_n at_o the_o end_n of_o the_o nine_o day_n where_o the_o ten_o day_n begin_v 1_o in_o the_o first_o sense_n maymony_n say_v they_o begin_v to_o afflict_v their_o soul_n in_o the_o evening_n of_o the_o nine_o day_n next_o before_o the_o ten_o day_n and_o so_o they_o tarry_v in_o their_o affliction_n a_o little_a in_o the_o night_n after_o the_o ten_o day_n in_o these_o word_n you_o see_v that_o maymony_n do_v not_o hold_v this_o fast_a to_o begin_v with_o the_o ten_o day_n at_o the_o sunset_n evening_n according_a to_o the_o date_n of_o the_o new_a day_n of_o the_o person_n purify_v but_o in_o the_o evening_n of_o the_o nine_o day_n next_o before_o the_o ten_o day_n and_o maymony_n say_v moreover_o that_o they_o must_v abide_v in_o their_o affliction_n a_o little_a in_o the_o night_n after_o the_o ten_o day_n this_o early_a beginning_n and_o this_o late_a end_n of_o this_o fasting-day_n do_v increase_v the_o length_n of_o this_o day_n beyond_o the_o length_n of_o any_o other_o fasting-day_n or_o of_o any_o other_o sabbath_n day_n 2_o this_o clause_n in_o the_o nine_o day_n of_o the_o month_n in_o the_o evening_n be_v thus_o read_v by_o the_o greek_a interpreter_n from_o the_o nine_o of_o the_o month_n from_o the_o evening_n and_o thus_o they_o vary_v the_o dreposition_n from_o in_o to_o from_o and_o their_o translation_n agree_v fit_o to_o the_o next_o clause_n from_o even_o unto_o even_o you_o shall_v rest_v your_o sabbath_n and_o by_o this_o read_n we_o may_v see_v that_o the_o seventy_o do_v make_v the_o latter_a evening_n of_o the_o nine_o day_n to_o be_v a_o true_a part_n of_o the_o nine_o day_n though_o it_o be_v also_o the_o beginning_n of_o the_o ten_o day_n according_a to_o the_o date_n of_o the_o person_n purify_v 3_o hence_o it_o be_v also_o evident_a that_o moses_n do_v not_o hold_v the_o natural_a beginning_n of_o the_o ten_o day_n to_o begin_v at_o the_o sunset_n evening_n of_o the_o nine_o day_n for_o then_o moses_n word_n shall_v have_v run_v thus_o from_o the_o ten_o of_o the_o month_n from_o the_o evening_n but_o moses_n do_v not_o say_v so_o but_o from_o the_o nine_o of_o the_o month_n from_o the_o evening_n either_o he_o must_v mean_v it_o to_o begin_v from_o the_o sacrifice-evening_n of_o the_o nine_o day_n as_o maymony_n expound_v it_o or_o second_o from_o the_o latter_a evening_n of_o the_o nine_o day_n as_o a_o true_a part_n of_o the_o nine_o day_n as_o the_o seventy_o understand_v it_o or_o three_o from_o the_o ceremonial_a beginning_n of_o the_o nine_o day_n which_o begin_v at_o the_o sunset_n evening_n before_o the_o nine_o day_n but_o then_o 4_o if_o you_o will_v take_v this_o phrase_n from_o even_o to_o even_o to_o be_v from_o the_o evening_n of_o the_o nine_o day_n according_a to_o the_o date_n of_o the_o person_n purify_v than_o all_o the_o nine_o day_n must_v be_v a_o fast_a day_n as_o well_o as_o the_o ten_o day_n for_o the_o evening_n of_o the_o nine_o day_n be_v the_o begin_n of_o the_o nine_o day_n according_a to_o the_o date_n of_o the_o person_n purify_v but_o if_o you_o desire_v to_o avoid_v this_o gross_a absurdity_n than_o you_o must_v grant_v that_o the_o natural_a evening_n of_o the_o nine_o day_n do_v not_o begin_v but_o end_v the_o nine_o day_n as_o the_o seventy_o interpreter_n do_v carry_v it_o 5_o they_o that_o do_v place_n the_o natural_a evening_n at_o the_o begin_n of_o the_o nine_o day_n and_o yet_o do_v allow_v the_o sacrifice_n evening_n to_o be_v place_v at_o the_o end_n of_o the_o nine_o day_n they_o do_v thereby_o place_v the_o natural_a morning_n of_o the_o nine_o day_n between_o the_o two_o evening_n of_o the_o nine_o day_n and_o so_o they_o do_v make_v the_o morning_n sacrifice_n to_o be_v kill_v between_o the_o two_o evening_n but_o when_o man_n will_v not_o receive_v the_o truth_n in_o the_o love_n of_o it_o it_o be_v just_a with_o god_n to_o let_v they_o run_v into_o such_o absurd_a consequence_n as_o these_o 6_o this_o fasting-day_n be_v long_o than_o any_o other_o fasting-day_n for_o all_o other_o public_a fast_a day_n be_v leave_v to_o the_o elder_n of_o the_o be_v no_o fasting-day_n among_o the_o jew_n be_v so_o long_o as_o the_o fast_a on_o the_o day_n of_o atonement_n be_v sanâ—edrim_n to_o be_v appoint_v whensoever_o they_o be_v in_o any_o distress_n which_o be_v proclaim_v to_o be_v observe_v in_o all_o the_o synagogue_n of_o the_o land_n as_o well_o as_o at_o the_o temple_n but_o they_o do_v not_o enjoin_v they_o to_o begin_v those_o fast_a day_n in_o the_o evening_n before_o with_o such_o a_o strict_a abstinence_n as_o they_o do_v the_o day_n of_o reconciliation_n for_o the_o hebrew_n doctor_n say_v that_o it_o be_v lawful_a for_o they_o to_o eat_v in_o the_o night_n when_o the_o feast_n be_v on_o the_o morrow_n see_v ain_n in_o nu._n 9_o 10._o by_o this_o testimony_n of_o maymony_n it_o be_v evident_a that_o they_o begin_v all_o their_o other_o solemn_a fasting-dai_n in_o the_o morning_n and_o not_o in_o the_o evening_n before_o except_o the_o day_n of_o reconciliation_n only_o therefore_o no_o other_o public_a fasting-day_n be_v of_o such_o a_o length_n as_o this_o yearly_a fasting-day_n be_v 7_o neither_o be_v any_o other_o sabbath_n of_o such_o a_o length_n for_o strict_a

of_o the_o latter_a evening_n of_o the_o nine_o but_o they_o do_v not_o begin_v the_o strict_a rest_n neither_o of_o their_o festival_n sabbath_n nor_o of_o the_o sabbath_n or_o
