Last week we talked about Nehemiah and the wood offering, in its appointed time. Now in the Dead Sea Scrolls they have Feast days and appointed times that we could have missed in the t[h]urah portion that I want to bring out as we move forward into the Dead Sea Scrolls, Enoch, and Jubilees. Last week, we closed with Nehemiah:

• Neh. 13:30 Thus cleansed I them from all strangers, and appointed the wards of the priests and the Levites, every one in his business;

• Neh. 13:31 And for the wood offering, at times appointed, and for the first fruits. Remember me, O my Alahiym, for good.

Question is, is this in the Law? Was this commanded? • Neh. 10:34 And we cast the lots among the priests, the Levites, and the people, for

the wood offering, to bring it into the house of our Alahiym, after the houses of our fathers, at times appointed year by year, to burn upon the altar of Yahuah our Alahiym, as it is written in the law: • Lev. 6:12 And the fire upon the altar shall be burning in it; it shall not be put out:

and the priest shall burn wood on it every morning, and lay the burnt offering in order upon it; and he shall burn thereon the fat of the peace offerings.

• Lev. 6:13 The fire shall ever be burning upon the altar; it shall never go out. The oil {Anointing oil/oil for the offerings/ light}, and the wine {Hin/drink offering}. Ex. 27:20 ¶ And thou shalt command the children of Israel, that they bring thee pure oil olive beaten for the light, to cause the lamp to burn always. Lev. 24:2 Command the children of Israel, that they bring unto thee pure oil olive beaten for the light, to cause the lamps to burn continually. Deut. 11:12 A land which Yahuah your Alahiym cares for: the eyes of Yahuah your Alahiym are always upon it, from the beginning of the year even unto the end of the year. Deut. 11:13 And it shall come to pass, if you shall hearken diligently unto my commandments which I command you this day, to love Yahuah your Alahiym, and to serve him with all your heart and with all your soul, Deut. 11:14 That I will give you the rain of your land in his due season, the first rain and the latter rain, that you may gather in your increase {wheat/corn}, and your wine, and your oil. Where would the Levites get these items? Remember, they have NO LAND. So there would have to be an appointed time in order for them to have this in the storehouse.

On one hand we have the 50-day count that lands exactly on the days festivals. Secondly look at how is perfectly lines up with the shabbath. Count seven shabbaths from the weaving of the omer. It also lines up the count of 50. This also works with the Jubilee. Do this for the 49-year count Notice that the other offerings being used here are all linked to the Jubilee cycles. You would not see this, regularly reading the t[h]urah Jer. 5:24 Neither say they in their heart, Let us now fear Yahuah our Alahiym, that gives rain, both the former and the latter, in his season: he reserves unto us the appointed weeks of the harvest.

• The weeks are governed by 7 days. Now we should be able to see 7th day shabbath, count 7 shabbaths, which also means count 7 weeks {Feast of Weeks}, which also means count 7 years {Jubilee} which are linked to agricultural cycles of weeks which are called appointed weeks of the Harvest. A harvest time in scripture are seasons and weeks, and to prophesies. We are linked to a harvest time. All are in cycles

According to Qumran, Enoch, and Jubilee, the year is 364. The breakdowns are as follows:

• 360 day plus 4 inter-calculations for the four seasons. The sum total is 364 • 364 breakdowns to 91 days per season, or 13 weeks.

• 91 days breakdowns to 30, 30, 31. 30, 30, 31. 30, 30, 31. 30, 30, 31. • 52 weeks in all, 364 days in a year. • Once the 364th days comes to a close. There must be a sign to start the next year.

This day would not be counted. This would be the marking of the next year. o Gen. 1:14 ¶ And Alahiym said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the

heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years:

Key Text: David’s Compositions (Col. 27 of 11QPsa) [2] And David, the son of Yeshiy, was wise, and a light like the light of the sun, and literate, [3] and discerning and perfect in all his ways before Alahiym and men. [4] And Yahuah gave him a discerning and enlightened spirit. And he wrote 3,600 psalms; [5] and songs to sing before the altar over the whole-burnt perpetual offering [6] every day, for all the days of the year, 364; [7] and for the offering of the Shabbaths, 52 songs; and for the offering of the New [8] Moons and for all the Solemn Assemblies and for the Day of Atonement, 30 songs. [9] And all the songs that he spoke were 446, and songs [10] for making music over the stricken, 4. And the total was 4,050 [11] All these he composed through prophecy which was given him from before the Most High.

Summary or connection:

1. A week is linked to 7. Example Feast of Weeks and Jubilees 2. 7 is the root number for shabbaths, Feast days and appointed times 3. The root of this word means an oath. Sworn in making a covenant.

When we see this according to years. They operate on cycles of 7, agriculturally. His Feasts Days and appointed times are directly linked to the pattern of 7’s.
