Sabbath March 29, 2025: Take 2

Hi Guys,

As I mentioned in an earlier post we would revisit the name of the First Biblical Month. No wonder why some folks get its meaning and understanding mixed up as they actually start the beginning of the year in the 7th month. So why are they trying to put forth the impression that they are involved in it as the first month in their year? I know, you can’t make such stuff up! With someone professing such nonsense in Biblical understanding, or better said in some cases: commandments of men and traditions of elders, why would you take them on as a teacher?

You old timers will acknowledge that at the very beginning we understood that the Hebrew word abib (abiyb) contained no Hebrew writing in it to declare the color green. That was a hard sell to some who would throw Strong's #24 in our face. It just demonstrated their lack of understanding what he was actually saying for they would not dig deeper into his actual instruction.

But life went on as it always does. As gramma always would instruct me: you can lead a horse to water but you can’t make it drink. So, lets first look at Strong’s.

#24: abiyb (aw-beeb) from an unused root (meaning to be tender); green, i.e. a young ear of grain; hence, the name of the month Abib or Nisan: [abib, ear, green ears of corn].

First let’s establish that the [ ] words are not Strong’s translations. They are from Protestant Translators who have taken abib and translated it as such into English in the Bible. They are placed there after the meaning of the word to show where it is linked to in English translations. That’s really simple, so to say Strong's is translating it as such is ignorance or one with an agenda.

Then let’s credit him with clearly stating that green here is used as a definition of “i.e. a young ear of grain.” The reason is simple in the fact that green is a synonym for tender/young. Hopefully that does not need to be explained. Okay just once. The phrase: “that kid is pretty green” when applied to being new at something is the perfect example of the synonym usage. It simply means he is not experienced or trained in something, juvenile to it. It’s not stating he is the color green. Here Strong's is applying it to the younger state of the plant which at specific stages is in fact green in color. So where does that younger state first come in? We will see shortly from Exodus 12.

The next thing we need to understand is that this word abib comes from a root word that is no longer used. That’s really important for since it is no longer used it no longer is subject to its meaning being changed or modified just like the language: Latin. That is why Latin is used as the language of science, as in naming things. Its not going to change in meaning.

Hopefully the AI in Facebook handles the Hebrew spelling correctly.

A'bib אָבַיב, has the unused or obsolete root אָבִב. This unused verb אָבִב (‘abab or ‘bb you choose the spelling in English) most likely meant to be fresh or bright according to linguists who don’t have an agenda.

Now how do we know that?

Because that is how it is used in other Semitic Languages.

Its not used as a verb in Hebrew, but it does have a few derivatives which tend to liken it to, fresh as in green/young. Something of note.

What is important is that this root word is associated with the term or condition of fructifying (ripening) in Semitic languages and so are the derivatives in Hebrew. Song of Solomon 6:11 and Job 8:12.

In Assyrian this root word of abib meant fresh or bright.

That’s right, time to high five for some of you. Put that all together in the pattern of the use of this Biblical word left for us to define the Month of Abib. The noun abib is also the name given to the growth stage of the barley in the first Biblical Month. We find some bright locations in a sea of younger ones which are green. That equates to locations of yellow or golden heads with the majority of the heads being much younger or green in color and green in maturity. Don’t forget green is used as a synonym for tender/young in the English language.

Strong's meaning of abib is 100% accurate as to defining the Month of the Abib. The most easily shaken heads are first found in this month being surrounded by a sea of younger green ones.

That depicts the spiritual reality of its purpose in the Plan of Salvation. First comes the Most Holy Wavesheaf Grain offering of Barley. It is the defining criteria to start the First Month of the Biblical Year as Yehovah instructed Moses and Aaron. It is physiological mature (aviv) and able to reproduce itself, but not hardened yet, and it is applied to our Savior as our Wavesheaf Offering being accepted on our behalf so we could then be included into the number of His body as depicted by the 7 weeks of barley harvest that He in fact started on our behalf.

Ex 12:1-2 And Yehovah said to Moses and to Aaron in the land of Egypt, saying, this month shall be the Head (#7218) of months for you. It shall be the first (#7223) of the months of the year for you.

Head here is #7218 Ro’sh. Notice what emphasis Strong’s puts on its meaning:

from an unused root apparently meaning to shake; the head (as most easily shaken), whether literally or figuratively (in many applications; of place, time, rank, etc.)

That’s winnowing, separating the grain from the head and the chaff.

Once again Strong's was inspired to tell us about the unused root which can’t have its meaning changed by any agents of intrigue here at the end of the age. These were left as tools for us to be able to use combined with the spirit of Elohim we have been given and to put them to work to understand the hidden truths which most can’t see and follow through the scriptures.

Thank you Father for calling a wretch like myself to confound the mighty.

The Hebrew for first here is #7223 Ri’shon; from #7221 in Strong’s. The BDB says of it: former, first, chief. We know it is not referring to former here because Yehovah said THIS month. The one they were presently in thus the Month of Abib.

So here we have just a basic breakdown of the facts of the word abib. There are more, but they would only encumber these simple ones here and most likely be used to take one off course. That too is a pattern.

And just a simple reminder about that pattern.

Domestic and wild barley both have 14 chromosomes. That has never changed in spite of some trying to tell you they are not the same as that existed during the times of the Native Israelite's. A bunch of cow manure to them who are stating such deceptive things.

What is not the same is wheat. There have been changes there and don’t forget it is used in association with leaven right. So, look at how it has been puffed up.

We have the original wheat called Einkorn. It too has 14 chromosomes just like its two cousins the domestic and wild barley. But then we have Emmer wheat with 28 chromosomes and then to top that off we have Bread or Modern wheat which has 42 chromosomes.

Has wheat been altered? Oh yes. Very leavened to say the least. Linda buys Einkorn for our use. It can actually be digested just like barley can.

Just setting the record straight as some would dearly love to twist it to accompany their agendas of stealing your crown: knowingly or unknowingly.

I have attached the Barley and Wheat facts sheet for those who have not seen it in the past.

Our peace we give to you.
