The word “menorah” itself is supposed to derive from the Hebrew word for lamp (ner), as in “me-ner-ah”, but this does not fit (and seems to be a decoy to avoid its astronomical origins) as the central syllable is correctly “nor” In the Hebrew word menorah and not “ner”, also the beginning and ending syllables in the word menorah “me-nor-ah” are never explained in the words actual meaning. The root words found in the word menorah will help reveal what the word actually means.

Looking back to ancient Hebrew, the word for light is “orah”, which could explain the last part of “men-orah”, which is probably derived from the ancient root word “ora” (light). The word “ma’or” meaning “lights/shining” in Hebrew is derived from “mah’ora”, which means “moon as illuminator” (see ora-nge, aura).


Shine (or: strongs #216)

The word 'or, as a noun means "light" and as a verb, it means to "give light" or "shine." It is also related to the idea of bringing order, in the same way that you bring about order in the darkness when you turn on the lights.


Strongs #215 "or", means to "become light, to give light, to light a lamp". The sun gives its light to the moon (Enoch 73). Which is how the moon becomes a lamp that witnesses to the suns light.


Bringing order is to ordain, set in place, fix an order.

The first part of the word menorah is “men”, which could also be derived from the Hebrew root word “mem”, meaning “water/blood/moon/chaos”. There does not seem to be a connection here with the more modern Hebrew word for moon, “yare’ach” (xry), until you look at “ach” (x = kinsmen) since “acher” (rx) equals “men” (Strongs #0312). The name of the city of Jericho (meaning: The city of the Moon) derives from the word “yareach”.

Does men-orah mean “moon-light”? Or does it mean “moon-sun”?

The last part of the word is probably from the same root word that “aurum” comes from (aura/ora/sun/gold), and the original menorah was made of a single piece of gold.

The central lamp (the head/resh/first) of the “yarek” (stem of the menorah) is used to give light to the other oil lamps on the 6 branches. The word “yarek” (meaning: lunation) is derived from “yare’ach” (meaning: traveling moon).

The "me" in menorah could be from the root *me- (2) "to measure" in reference to the moon's phases as an ancient and universal measure of time.

The term "menorah" means "moons numbered/measured light", as it is derived from "mene" (moon numbering) plus "ore" (light). Mene + ore = menorah, moons numbered/measured light.

"Mene" means:

Word origin: Aramaic: numbered or measured

[Ria Tameg]

I've just found this: Interestingly enough, in the free dictionary wiktionary under the keyword month, there also the connection between the syllable meh and the moon phases is made. Apparently the writer see it also in such a way:

Etymology From Middle English month, moneth, from Old English mōnaþ (“month”), from Proto-Germanic *mēnōþs (“month”), from Proto-Indo-European *mḗh₁n̥s (“moon, month”), probably from Proto-Indo European *meh₁ (“to measure”), referring to the moon's phases as the measure of time, equivalent to moon +‎ -th... Ancient Greek μήν (mḗn);... See also moon.

It's funny, the Hebrew counting mathematically describes a kind of growth process in Genesis 1 and 2 when it says, the days of the week grow out of the new moon day, a river preceded the four rivers, which in came first in order just like the branches grow out of the seed. It starts with the seed first and branches one two three follow

1. (first)
1 (one)
2 (two)
3 (three)

The beginning of this counting reflects exactly the Fibonacci sequence, which begins with 1 1 2 3 and describes growth processes of all kinds.

G‑d is simply a G‑d of order!

[Ria Tameg]

The prophet Isaiah testified that "G-d did NOT create from a position of darkness".
Day, as G-d defined, is the period of the suns light. Genesis 1:1, according to Isaiah, was a period of light. Scripture doesnt say the darkness began until Genesis 1:2. Then in Genesis 1:3, G-d commanded the light (day) to return.

In the BEGINNING (genesis 1:1) was the word, per John.
Scripture says the word is LIGHT. In the beginning (hebrew word barashit, Genesis 1:1) was Light. Just as Isaiah testified to. Not darkness. Again, darkness does not appear in scripture until Genesis 1:2, AFTER the light, not before.

(My own Note: It is important to note that Genesis 1:2 begins with the conjunction, ‘and’ (Hebrew vav), and this same conjunction introduces every single verse of the first chapter of Genesis, so there is a sequence of actions implied. There was this happening, and then this happened, and then this happened, and then this … each following directly upon the other. When it said that G-d created the heavens and the earth, and the earth was without form and void, the implication is that this was immediately following the creation. Isaiah 45:7 says that G-d created the darkness. In order for there to be day and night, which was necessary for the further activity of G-d and man upon the earth, there must be day and night. So G-d actually had to create darkness.)

Genesis 1:1 = new moon day
Genesis 1:2 = the first night
Genesis 1:3 = day one of the week, which is day two of the month.
The week begins AFTER new moon day. Ezekiel 46 confirms and requires this.

Have you commanded the morning since your days began, And caused the dawn to know its place, Job 38:12

Job 38 states that "in the beginning", which was Genesis 1:1 (not the entire chapter), the holy Angel's blew the trumpet. The trumpet was commanded to be blown on new moon day. Job 38 states that it was "morning", which means the suns light, or light, was present. Not darkness.

Ezekiel 46 states that new moon day MUST be seperate from the 6 work days.

If you obey these commands, which most people are unaware of, then it all falls Into place. If you are unaware of these commands, you will NOT obey them, then everything calendar related becomes incorrect in timing.

Isaiah stated that G-d did not create (which is the hebrew word barashit, meaning "in the beginning, which was Genesis 1:1) from a position of darkness.

So Genesis 1:1 was light. Job 38 confirms this. Job 38 specificly stated that it was morning. Light, not darkness in Genesis 1:3. G-d defined light as "day". So we can conclude that Genesis 1:1 was the FIRST day of the month. Also called new moon day. Genesis 1:2 becomes darkness per scripture, night. Day one doesnt take place until Genesis 1:3.

Darkness does not take place in scripture until Genesis 1:2. It says "now the earth is in darkness" (paraphrase).

Genesis 1:1 = light
Genesis 1:2 = darkness
Genesis 1:3 = G-d says "let the light be" (hebrew word that can mean "return").

Genesis 1:5 - G-d defined day as the period of light and darkness as the period of night.

Day = light
Night = darkness

Therefore:
Genesis 1:1 = day
Genesis 1:2 = night
Genesis 1:3 = day

Genesis 1:3 tells us it is "day one", or yom echad in hebrew.

Hebrew and all other ancient cultures did not have the number zero like we do now. In ancient hebrew, "first" (rosh in hebrew) was the zero place holder. Per strongs concordance. It was a SEPERATE number from "one".
All throughout scripture, new moon day is called "rosh" chodesh. Rosh means "first" in hebrew. The number that comes BEFORE "one", or "day one" in Genesis 1:3.
New moon is also called the "head" of the month. The word head in hebrew is also "rosh", which means "first". The hebrew language is literally teaching us that the FIRST day (new moon day, in Genesis 1:1) comes BEFORE "day one" (which doesnt take place until Genesis 1:3).
First is an ordinal number. It's used for ordering in hebrew.
One is a cardinal number. Cardinal numbers are used for GROUPING. A week is a group of 7 days. This grouping cannot be tracked until the ordering day, new moon day, has taken place. There is an ordering to the count. A cardinal number, or grouping, cannot take place until the ordinal is established. The new moon day is the ordinal in context, as "first" (Genesis 1:1) is ordinal in numbering.

New moon day is the day of order per scripture. What does it order? The days of the month, specificly the GROUPINGS (cardinal) of the week that come after new moon day.

[Ria Tameg]

We can see a similar story in Judges 16. The story of Simson and Delila.

It tells us that Simson had 7 locks of hair on his HEAD.

1. The word for the locks is the hebrew word "braided", which comes from the word nazir, or "branches", the same word used for the 7 branches of the menorah (which means moons measured/numbered light).

I boldened the word HEAD used in this verse, because it is the hebrew word "rosh", which means first. It is the word ALWAYS used for new moon day, the HEAD of the month, the FIRST of the month. So think of Simsons HEAD as new moon day. And what is attached to this HEAD?

7 branches of hair. That CANNOT be seperated from the head, or Simson would be in error.

This story is symbolizing descretely, the lunisolar sabbath.

That first observes new moon day (the HEAD). And then we observe the 7 branches, the 7 days of the week, that are attached to the head. So if the HEAD represents new moon day metaphoricly in this story, what is new moon day?

It is the COVERED new moon day. The head CANNOT be seen. So if Simson were to cut off his 7 locks of hair, the 7 branches, the week would become SEPERATE from the new moon day, displeasing G-d.

Which is exactly what Rome did. Seperated the week from the new moon day.

Did you know that the word Simson in hebrew can mean "sun", and the word Delila in Hebrew comes from a word that means "night".

This leads me to believe this story was ment to reveal time keeping. There is much more to it, but I leave you to research from here.

[Ria Tameg]

Amazing, very interesting research. In fact, it all sounds logical. I like that. You might think you invented the lunisolar concept.

So, Locks (plaits) bend and interweave the branches. The hair grows from the root (head).

The word nazir itself evidently means "separate" and in reflexive conjugations “abstain”, what is supposed to mean that the New Moon day is separate from the weekdays and holy. The Bible makes clear that a nazir is “holy to G-d.” The head is the concealed wisdom which is then revealed through His “hair.” likewise the New Moon day is concealed. Braided hair was probably wearing by a nazir like Sampson what I can not see the connection of the Hebrew word "braided" from the word nazir or "branches". I assume you mean #H4253. How does this work?

Anyway

Challah is a special bread of Ashkenazi Jewish origin. The challah is usually in the form of a simple six-strand long braid, but on ROSH HASHANA Jews turn each challah into a special loaf by braiding them in a round shape. I find this similarity, baking the plaited bread as round as a head is round on the first day, remarkable. That fits the story perfectly. Based on their braided bread, one can explain the lunisolar sabbath to them.

How does one observe the covered new moon day? I think probably by the last visible crescent moon before the end of the month.

[Ria Tameg]

I told you that in ancient hebrew, there was no number zero. They used "rosh" (first) as the placeholder for zero. And echad (one) came after zero. The word ZERO came into english (not found in Hebrew) from the word "zefiro" which can mean "empty". The first recorded zero appeared in Mesopotamia around 3 B.C. The Mayans invented it independently circa 4 A.D. It was later devised in India in the mid-fifth century, spread to Cambodia near the end of the seventh century, and into China and the Islamic countries at the end of the eighth.

In pre-Islamic time the word ṣifr (Arabic صفر) had the meaning "empty". Sifr evolved to mean zero when it was used to translate śūnya (Sanskrit: शून्य) from India. ... This became zefiro in Italian, and was then contracted to zero in Venetian. In Hebrew, zero is comparable to the hebrew "first", as a placeholder, an ordinal number, not used for counting. on the etymological origin of the words "zero", "cipher", and "nought". (Sources: Online Etymology Dictionary and Oxford English Dictionary.) zero: circa 1600, (either from Middle Latin zephirum, or French zéro or its source Italian zero, for *zefiro) in any case from Arabic sifr "cipher", itself a translation of Sanskrit śūnya "empty place, desert, naught". cipher: late 14th century, from Arabic sifr, "zero", literally "empty, nothing", from safara "to be empty", loan-translation of Sanskrit śūnya "empty". The word "cipher" came to Europe with Arabic numerals. Originally meant "zero", then "any numeral", then (c. 1520s) "coded message". OED: "The Arabic was simply a translation of the Sanskrit name śūnya, literally ‘empty’." nought: variant of naught which means "nothing". The meaning of "zero, cipher" is only from the early 15th century. (?c1425 Crafte Nombrynge in R. Steele The Earliest Arithmetics in English. (1922) 20: "A 0 is noȝt, And twyes noȝt is but noȝt.") So these sources seem to agree that: In Sanskrit, the word for "empty" (śūnya) was used for zero. Correspondingly when translating into Arabic, the word sifr based on the word safara, meaning "to be empty", was used for zero. For the number in English, cipher and zero were imported from Arabic, but also, similar to the passing from Sanskrit to Arabic, the existing word for "nothing" (nought) was used.

Numbers 29:12-38 lists all the offerings during the feast of tabernacles from the 15th day of the moon to the 22nd day of the moon what scripture also calls the first day and the eighth day

And on the fifteenth day of the seventh month ye shall have an holy convocation; ye shall do no servile work, and ye shall keep a feast unto the Lord seven days: And ye shall offer a burnt offering, a sacrifice made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the Lord; thirteen young bullocks, two rams, and fourteen lambs of the first year; they shall be without blemish: And their meat offering shall be of flour mingled with oil, three tenth deals unto every bullock of the thirteen bullocks, two tenth deals to each ram of the two rams, And a several tenth deal to each lamb of the fourteen lambs: And one kid of the goats for a sin offering; beside the continual burnt offering, his meat offering, and his drink offering.

And on the second day ye shall offer twelve young bullocks, two rams, fourteen lambs of the first year without spot: And their meat offering and their drink offerings for the bullocks, for the rams, and for the lambs, shall be according to their number, after the manner: And one kid of the goats for a sin offering; beside the continual burnt offering, and the meat offering thereof, and their drink offerings.

And on the third day eleven bullocks, two rams, fourteen lambs of the first year without blemish; And their meat offering and their drink offerings for the bullocks, for the rams, and for the lambs, shall be according to their number, after the manner: And one goat for a sin offering; beside the continual burnt offering, and his meat offering, and his drink offering.

And on the fourth day ten bullocks, two rams, and fourteen lambs of the first year without blemish: Their meat offering and their drink offerings for the bullocks, for the rams, and for the lambs, shall be according to their number, after the manner: And one kid of the goats for a sin offering; beside the continual burnt offering, his meat offering, and his drink offering.

And on the fifth day nine bullocks, two rams, and fourteen lambs of the first year without spot: And their meat offering and their drink offerings for the bullocks, for the rams, and for the lambs, shall be according to their number, after the manner: And one goat for a sin offering; beside the continual burnt offering, and his meat offering, and his drink offering.

And on the sixth day eight bullocks, two rams, and fourteen lambs of the first year without blemish: And their meat offering and their drink offerings for the bullocks, for the rams, and for the lambs, shall be according to their number, after the manner: And one goat for a sin offering; beside the continual burnt offering, his meat offering, and his drink offering.

And on the seventh day seven bullocks, two rams, and fourteen lambs of the first year without blemish: And their meat offering and their drink offerings for the bullocks, for the rams, and for the lambs, shall be according to their number, after the manner: And one goat for a sin offering; beside the continual burnt offering, his meat offering, and his drink offering.

On the eighth day ye shall have a solemn assembly: ye shall do no servile work therein: But ye shall offer a burnt offering, a sacrifice made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the Lord: one bullock, one ram, seven lambs of the first year without blemish: Their meat offering and their drink offerings for the bullock, for the ram, and for the lambs, shall be according to their number, after the manner: And one goat for a sin offering; beside the continual burnt offering, and his meat offering, and his drink offering.
It lists all of the offerings. Num.29:12-38

In the listing of these days Yhvh goes through day one to eight listing the offerings but He only gives two times of holy convocation in which you do no work and thats on day one and on day eight. There is no other holy convocation command in between those two high days. So day one and eight which are day 15 and 22 of the month are the sabbaths and there are no sabbaths on day 16-21.

This is not a commandment just for one year this is for every single year that you come across. That is impossible if you have a saturday sabbath floating in that feast.

[Ria Tameg]

There is no scripture for the statement, that the moon was created on the fourth day.

It can be implied in Genesis 1, it is a possibility but it is not a direct statement in scripture.

There are saturday sabbatarians throughout history that have believed that the luminaries were not created on the fourth day. One of the sages, jewish rabbis of the middle ages, known, by the acronym rashi, believe, that luminaries were created on the first day and were set in order or appointed to tasks on the fourth day.

If the moon so happened to be created from scratch on the fourth day it would not pose a problem for lunar sabbatarians because Yhvh created the moon would not be created in such a way that it reflected the days gone by. Look at adam and eve, they were made as adult humans, able to be married and procreate.

Because the moon was appointed or possibly even created on day four does not negate that the sabbaths somehow regulated by the moon.

Scripture doesn’t say that the sun, moon, and stars were created (Hebrew bara) on the fourth day. ‘He made’ is not the same as ‘He created.’

It is quite possible that when the author of Genesis 1:1 said In the beginning G-d created the heavens and the earth the phrase 'heaven and earth' included the sun. The Bible consistently uses the phrase, 'heaven and earth', to refer to the universe or cosmos.

The prophet Joel wrote:

The sun and the moon will grow dark, and the stars will diminish their brightness. The Lord also will roar from Zion, and utter His voice from Jerusalem; the heavens and earth will shake; but the Lord will be a shelter for His people, and the strength of the children of Israel (Joel 3:15-16).

This would mean that Genesis 1:1 refers to the creation of the entire universe, including the sun, moon and the stars.

[Ria Tameg]

The truth in the Bible seems to be often hidden from the casual reader. The carnal man goes after the visible. He believes what he can see, touch and feel. But the Heavenly Father's ways are hidden and given only to His sincere children. Also the conjunction and renewal of the moon is invisible, but we know it is happening.

Would YHVH have simply relied on the possibility of a crescent new moon when the sky was cloudy to determine the timing of important events such as the New Year, the Sabbaths, new moon days, and festivals?

“And I will give you hidden treasures and hidden riches, that you may know that I, … [YHVH], it is who called you by name, the G-d of Israel.” (Isaiah 45:3)

“But we speak the wisdom of G-d in mystery, the hidden wisdom, which G-d predestined before the ages for our glory” (1 Corinthians 2:7)

"To him that overcomes I will give of the hidden manna to eat..." (Revelation 2:17)

"Where then does wisdom come from, and where is the site of insight? It is hidden from the sight of every living thing and hidden from the birds of the air.” (Job 28:20-21)

"From now on I will let you hear new things and secrets that you did not know." (Isaiah 48:6)

“He reveals what is deep and hidden; he knows what is in the darkness, and the light dwells with him” (Daniel 2:22).

From these verses it can be seen that YHVH will not fully reveal His mysteries to a people who reject YHVH as their Redeemer. The sighting of the first crescent moon was reported by the Rabbinic Jews as well as by the Karaite Jews. They have rejected him to this day. Thus says YHVH:

“If … [YHVH], your … [Elohim], cut off the nations before you from where you are going to drive them out of their possession, and when you have driven them out of their possession and dwell in their land, so beware lest you be deceived into imitating them, after they have been destroyed before you, and lest you inquire of their g-ds, saying, How did these nations serve their g-ds? I will do the same.” (Deuteronomy 12:29-30)

Job was well aware of the danger when he writes:

“…if I looked at the sun when it shone, and the moon as it moved so splendidly, and let my heart be seduced secretly into blowing kisses to them, that too would have been an offense punishable by law; for I would have denied G-d on high.” (Job 31:26-28)

By not providing the visible crescent of the new moon to determine the beginning of the month, and thus for the day of worship, but the invisible conjunction, YHVH has counteracted the worship of the crescent moon.
