Reply To: How long was the sojourn in Egypt?

[Ken Griffith]

With the Roman week, sometimes the Sabbath would fall on the 14th, making it impossible to prepare for the 15th. Also, it would result in the Feast of Pentecost falling on various days of the week, rather than always falling on the first day of the week. With the lunar Sabbath the 15th was ALWAYS a Sabbath, and Pentecost was ALWAYS the first day of the 8th week.
