Numbers 10:10
Also in the
The Book of Jubilees
Chapter 7
1 And in the seventh week in the first year [1317 A.M.] thereof, in this jubilee, Noah
planted vines on the
mountain on which the ark had rested, named Lubar, one of the Ararat Mountains, and they
produced fruit in
the fourth year, [1320 A.M.] and he guarded their fruit, and gathered it in this year in
the
2 seventh month. And he made wine therefrom and put it into a vessel, and kept it until
the fifth
3 year, [1321 A.M.] until the first day, on the new moon
of the first month. And he celebrated with joy the
day of this feast,
Nehemiah calls the New Moon day "holy day".
Nehemiah 10: 31, 33
31 And if the people of the land bring ware or any victuals on the sabbath day to sell,
that we would not buy it of them on the sabbath
or on the holy day: and that we would leave the seventh year, and the exaction of every debt.
...
32 And the people of the land, the ones bringing merchandise
and any food on day the Shabat to sell, not we would take
from them on Shabat and on day holy
(6944) Qodesh-dedicated, hallowed.
33 For the shew-bread, and for the continual meal offering, and for the
continual burnt-offering, of the sabbaths,
of the new-moons, for the set appointed times, and for the holy things.
Below-revised - New Moon instead of Shabat, because no mention is made about work, and because the fourth commandment declares the New Moon day (chodesh) to be quodesh or "Holy".
Isaiah 58:13
If you turn away from The New Moon, your foot, to do what you please, on Day My Holy, and call To New Moon, a delight, To The Holiness of Yahovah, glorified; and shall glorify It away from doing your own ways, from finding your own pleasure, or speaking (your) word:
Is this the day of our gladness, coming before The Father Most High, and as His little children, rejoicing, eating the new fruit of the Tree of Life? Being refreshed from resting the previous Sabbath the day before, or two days before.
Ezekiel 46:3
Likewise the people of the land shall worship at the
door of this gate before Yahovah in the sabbaths and in the new-moons.
Isaiah 58:14
14 Then shalt thou delight thyself in Yahovah; and I will cause thee to ride upon the high
places of the earth, and feed thee with the heritage of Yacob thy father: for The Mouth of
Yahovah hath spoken [it].
