Luke 6:1
1 ¶ And it came to pass on the second sabbath after the first, that He went through the corn fields; and his disciples plucked the ears of corn, and did eat, rubbing [them] in [their] hands.

I am still learning, and there is still much to learn, and much to unlearn.

Lev 23:24 Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, In the seventh month, in the first day of the month, shall ye have a sabbath, a memorial of blowing of trumpets, an holy convocation.

The New Moon Day is called a "Sabbath" as in Exodus 31:13, as the 7th day is also called "a Sabbath" in the 4th Commandment, in Hebrew, the kjv is false changing it to "The Sabbath", as Rome forced the Jews to make small the New Moon Sabbath, and they made big the 7th day Sabbath.

Exodus 31:13
13 And you speak to the sons of Israel, saying, surely My Sabbaths you shall keep for a sign-(owth 226) these between Me and you for your generations; to know that I YHVH your sanctifier.

I Now believe-think-logically that the second "Sabbath after the First" is speaking of the "New Moon Day" after the 4th quarter "Sabbath" which is the 29th day of the moon. So the 1st sabbath of the "chief corner" of the foursquare calender, which is the 3 day or 2 day moon-end-beginning, is the 4th quarter Sabbath and the 2nd Sabbath-(New Moon) after this close previous 7th day 4th quarter Sabbath is the New Moon Day Sabbath.

This text leads me to believe that the second sabbath after the first in Luke 6:1 is the "New Moon Day" called the 2nd day of the New Moon days in:

1Sa 20:27 And it came to pass on the morrow, which was the second day of the month(month should be for calrification, "New Moon Days"), that David's place was empty: and Saul said unto Jonathan his son, Wherefore cometh not the son of Jesse to meat, neither yesterday, nor to day?

This is the 2nd day of a two day New Moon, whereas the 2nd day of a 2 day New Moon has the designation of the 1st day of the lunar month or "moon".

Septuagint Luke 6:1
And it came to pass on Sabbath following the great one, He traveled through the corn fields; and were plucking His disciples the ears of corn and were eating them by rubbing in pieces with their hands.

In ancient times, the lunation was a bigger item in calendation than it was to give a separate month number to every single day, as a two day New Moon, were apparently considered day 1 of the lunar month, but were differentiated, by calling the last New Moon day of two - "the second New Moon day after the first" ...
"the second New Moon day after the first." Day 1 of the lunar month.

Instead of centuries, there were "Jubilees" for the reckoning of time.

There is a witness of this 3 day period in Luke 6 (a dear friend enlightened me to these things)

This text has baffled commentators, but Truth explains mysteries which cannot be explained while embracing falsehoods.
Truth makes logical sense, while every objection may not have to be answered, sufficient weight of evidence will always be given for salvational issues, such as His Commandments.

Because the moon has approximately 29.5 days, about every other moon (lunation), an extra day has to be added to this 29 day cycle, consisting of New Moon day, and the following 4 weeks of 28 days. The extra day was added to the New Moon festival, and is referred to as the first New Moon day. Following is "the second New Moon day after the first."

Right now I think the "extra" day is not a "Sabbath" but a pause interlude, between the 7th day no work Sabbath, and the New Moon "Holy Day" Sabbath excluding "Servile Work", but can erect tabernacle and march around Jericho.

I used to think that it should be called the 30th day, but Scripture does not show a 30 day moon, only that the extra day is counted as an extra "New Moon" day, as in Luke 6:1, 3, 4, referring to another passage explaining proper New Moon day observance, as seen in 1 Samuel 20:12, 18, 20, & 27, which refers to a 2 day New Moon, with the 2nd day, as the 1st day of the lunar month.

To keep the calendar straight, both days are counted as one day; given the numeral of "1", so that the first of the six work days begins on the 2nd day of the moon, so the 4 quarter shabats remain fixed on the 8th, 15th, 22nd and 29th days of the moon.

Luke 6:1
1 ¶ And it came to pass on the second sabbath after the first, that He went through the corn fields; and his disciples plucked the ears of corn, and did eat, rubbing [them] in [their] hands.

Luke 6:1
1 ¶ And it came to pass on the second Sabbath after the first, that He went through the corn fields; and his disciples plucked the ears of corn, and did eat, rubbing [them] in [their] hands.

Luk 6:2 And certain of the Pharisees said unto them, Why do ye that which is not lawful to do on the sabbath days? (4th quarter Sabbath, 1st New Moon day, 2nd New Moon day-3 days)

1 Samuel 20:27
27 And it came to pass on the morrow, [which was] the second [day] of the New Moon(1st of month, after a two day new moon, as 29.5 is approx.), that David's place was empty: and Saul said unto Jonathan his son, Wherefore cometh not the son of Jesse to meat, neither yesterday, nor to day?

1 Samuel 20:27
27 And it came to pass on the morrow, [which was] the second day of the New Moon festival, that David's place was empty: and Saul said unto Jonathan his son, Wherefore cometh not the son of Jesse to meat, neither yesterday, nor to day?

Our Saviour brings up the topic of David and his men eating the shewbread because it was the same day that His disciples were rubbing the grain, not a 7th day Shabat, but the second day of a two day New Moon festival in Israel.

Rome weeded out most of the New Moon texts from Scripture,   many times replacing "New Moon" with "Sabbath".

Luke 6:2
2 And certain of the Pharisees said unto them, Why do ye that which is not lawful to do on the sabbath days?

In the original text it should read "the new moon days"

Luke 6:3
3 And Y'hoshua answering them said, Have ye not read so much as this, what David did, when himself was an hungred, and they which were with him;

Luke 6:4
4 How he went into the house of Elohim, and did take and eat the shewbread, and gave also to them that were with him; which it is not lawful to eat but for the priests alone?

Luke 6:5
5 And he said unto them, That the Son of man is Adonai also of the sabbath.

In in the original it should read, because David and his men ate that bread on the New Moon day,
"The Son of man is Adonai also of The New Moon Days" or "Rest days", as New Moon is a pause also from the six working days, when the east gate of the temple is closed, but open on the New Moon and the Sabbath.

His disciples were rubbing them in their hands on the New Moon day, the second day of a two day new moon.
David and his men came to the priests and ate the old removed bread from the sanctuary that had been replaced.
This day was the second day of a two day new moon, the 1st day of the month.

1 Samuel 20:12
12 And Jonathan said unto David,* O Y'hovah Elohim of Israel, when I have sounded my father about to morrow any time, [or] the third [day], and, behold, [if there be] good toward David, and I then send not unto thee, and shew it thee;

* This was the 4th quarter shabat, the 29th day of the New Moon.

Apparently this was the 4th quarter sabbath (29th day of the moon) this conversation took place, "to morrow" would have been the first day of a two day new moon, and "the third day" would have been the second day of this two day new moon, The New Moon Day the 1st day of the lunar month.

1 Samuel 20:18
18 Then Jonathan said to David, To morrow [is] the new moon: (the first day of a two day new moon) and thou shalt be missed, because thy seat will be empty.

1 Samuel 20:19
19 And [when] thou hast stayed three days, [then] thou shalt go down quickly, and come to the place where thou didst hide thyself when the business was [in hand], and shalt remain by the stone Ezel.

1 Samuel 20:27
27 And it came to pass on the morrow, [which was] the second [day] of the New Moon*, that David's place was empty: and Saul said unto Jonathan his son, Wherefore cometh not the son of Jesse to meat, neither yesterday, nor to day?
* The 2nd day of a two day new moon, is the first day of the month

Apparently David went immediately from Jonathan to the Priest, on the same day David was missed by Saul, when he threw a javelin at Johathan, the second day of the New Moon, the first day of the month called the "echad" or "1st" day of the moon.

1 Samuel 21:5
5 And David answered the priest, and said unto him, Of a truth women [have been] kept from us about these three days, since I came out, and the vessels of the young men are holy, and [the bread is] in a manner common, yea, though it were sanctified this day in the vessel.

These three days above, repeating, are the 29th day which is the 4th quarter 7th day sabbath, and a two day new moon period.

1 Samuel 21:6
6 So the priest gave him hallowed [bread]: for there was no bread there but the shewbread, that was taken from before YHVH, to put hot bread in the day when it was taken away.

The reason our Saviour gave this example was His disciples were "rubbing" on the same Holy Day, that David took this sanctified bread and ate it with his men.

1 Samuel 21:7
7 Now a certain man of the servants of Saul [was] there that day, detained before YHVH; and his name [was] Doeg, an Edomite, the chiefest of the herdmen that [belonged] to Saul.

Doeg was detained, being an Edomite probably he didn't keep New Moon or Sabbath Days, but his Hebrew herdmen with him kept These Holy Days, and was thus detained, as the commandment is worship on Sabbaths and New Moons.

Genesis 1:14-19 explains that the greater and lesser lights are our "clock" and "calendar" to "appoint" days, and "years"
Apparently this negates the thought that we look for the barley to call the first month of the year.
He gave us in Genesis 1, our "heavenly" lights to be for "the signs of the times". The moon appoints days, the sun, years and the day unit, and seasons, and the stars as a guide to what season of our "track" around the sun, we are in.

At the time of the new moon a sacred festival was celebrated
in Israel. This festival recurred upon the day following the
interview between David and Jonathan. At this feast it was
expected that both the young men would appear at the king's
table; but David feared to be present, and it was arranged that

655

he should visit his brothers in Bethlehem. On his return he was
to hide himself in a field not far from the banqueting hall, for
three days
absenting himself from the presence of the king
; and
Jonathan would note the effect upon Saul. If inquiry should be
made as to the whereabouts of the son of Jesse, Jonathan was to
say that he had gone home to attend the sacrifice offered by his
father's household. If no angry demonstrations were made by
the king, but he should answer, "It is well," then it would be safe
for David to return to the court. But if he should become
enraged at his absence, it would decide the matter of David's flight.
