[Ria Tameg]

The word of G-d can be considered on four different levels of meaning, just as there are four different Gospels to give us a more complete picture of Christ.

Its true, we find only two categories of days in Genesis and Exodus when simply reading the text.

This level of meaning is called "Peshat" and means literally.

Another level is called "Remes" and means suggestive. The text points to a deeper truth than one superficially realizes.


The missing puzzle piece in the Genesis account of the week is the new moon day, which is outside the week. When each new month of the biblical calendar begins with the new moon, then it should also apply to Creation Week for the sake of completeness. Thus the third categorie of the day, the new moon, is hidden in creation week. Before the first day of the week, there was darkness, New Moon Day, the first day of the first month of the first year.

In the beginning G-d created the heaven and the earth. And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of G-d moved upon the face of the waters. Gen.1:1-2

The introduction of creation describes Rosh Hashanah, the head, or beginning of every month, the first day of the first month of the first year in time, which starts and refreshes the count of four lunar weeks. Time began in light/darkness. For the reason that the first seventh-day Sabbath of Creation was on the 8th of the first lunar month, so also the following Sabbaths of that month fell on the lunar dates of the 15th, 22nd, and 29th days. The biblical Sabbaths cannot be located by any other method.


The seventh day of the week is recognized as Sabbath, whereby the question is, from what is it the seventh day. And this brings us back to the starting point, the question from where do I count the days from one to seven?

[Ria Tameg]

Rosh Hashanah literally means "head of the year" and the biblical name for this holiday is Yom Teruah, literally "day of shouting or blasting", and is also more commonly known as the Feast of Trumpets. This feast is a time of rejoicing before G-d, for it represents a time of joyful worship when our Creator made heaven and earth

O clap your hands, all ye people; shout unto G-d with the voice of triumph Ps.47:1

Make a joyful noise unto G-d, all ye lands: Ps.66:1

Sing aloud unto G-d our strength: make a joyful noise unto the G-d of Jacob. Ps.81:1

Make a joyful noise unto the Lord, all ye lands. Ps.100:1

In Job, the angels praised G-d and shouted for joy when they saw how beautifully G-d had created the earth

Then the Lord answered Job? Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth? declare, if thou hast understanding. Who hath laid the measures thereof, if thou knowest? or who hath stretched the line upon it? Whereupon are the foundations thereof fastened? or who laid the corner stone thereof; When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of G-d shouted for joy? Job 38:1 .4-7

The day in which the moon becomes new and begins to rebuild, is the beginning or Head of a new lunar cycle. It is a very special day because it has commemorated the first day of the month of Creation.

[Ria Tameg]

which is in complete harmony with Ex.13:6.

Let's look at Ex.13:6 and the following verses





Usually, that is, with the Gregorian Calendar and Saturday as the weekly Sabbath day in mind, most read these verses as follows





It is supposed, that the feast, described in V.6, falls on the last, the seventh day of unleavened bread.

In the verse after next, v.8, reference is made to this day.

It speaks of the son. The word son in the bible is used in its literal sense of offspring.

The sons and daughters, who may be attending the Feast for the first time, shall be told the reason for keeping the Days of unleavened bread.

And thirdly, this day shall also be for a sign.

[Ria Tameg]

The Bible interprets itself. One verse explains another verse because of the harmony.

According to Lev.23:6 and Num.28:17 the feast is always on the 15th day of the month

And on the fifteenth day of the same month is the feast of unleavened bread unto the Lord: seven days ye must eat unleavened bread. Lev.23:6
And in the fifteenth day of this month is the feast: seven days shall unleavened bread be eaten. Num.28:17

and this 15th day of the month is the 7th day (of the week) according to the biblical Calendar.

According to the Creators calendar, the seven days of unleavened bread are as follows

[Ria Tameg]

The Exodus from Egypt was on the night of the 15th

And they departed from Rameses in the first month, on the fifteenth day of the first month; on the morrow after the passover the children of Israel went out with an high hand in the sight of all the Egyptians. Num.33:3
Observe the month of Abib, and keep the passover unto the Lord thy G-d: for in the month of Abib the Lord thy G-d brought thee forth out of Egypt by night. Deu.16:1

This date is expressly connected with the sabbath commandment, the fourth of the ten commandments

And remember that thou wast a servant in the land of Egypt, and that the Lord thy G-d brought thee out thence through a mighty hand and by a stretched out arm: therefore the Lord thy G-d commanded thee to keep the sabbath day. Deu.5:15

Also here is the 15th of the month in connection with the day 7/week.

[Ria Tameg]

In verse 8, the instruction is given for the day, on which the feast takes place, explain the children that this feast is to be celebrated in remembrance of what the LORD did when His people left Egypt.


If by the 7th day is indeed meant the seventh day of unleavened bread, then that means that the son does not know this until the last day of the feast. In doing so, reference is made to the Exodus from Egypt, which took place on a 15th day, thus exactly on the 1st day of this feast.


And as if that would not be everything, in verse 9 then the same day is brought in connection with a mark!!! and also again the reference to the exodus from Egypt.


The creator designates the seventh-day Sabbath as a special sign of belonging to his people, it is a sign between creator and creature

And hallow my sabbaths; and they shall be a sign between me and you, that ye may know that I am the Lord your G-d. Eze.20:20

Blessed is the man that doeth this, and the son of man that layeth hold on it; that keepeth the sabbath from polluting it, and keepeth his hand from doing any evil. Isa.56:2

Because the day 7/week is a sabbath, it is also a marker. The weekly sabbath always coincides with the first day of unleavened bread, which is then called the great day.


The word "feast" can be derived from its root word and translates as "to move in a circle," meaning that the Creator gave His feasts as a cycle to be observed yearly

Thou shalt therefore keep this ordinance in his season from year to year. Ex.13:10

In the biblical calendar, the day 7/week falls constantly on the 15th day of the month and therefore this order can be kept in its time year after year.

In a calendar with uninterrupted weeks, this is impossible.

[Ria Tameg]

And ye shall observe the feast of unleavened bread; for in this selfsame day have I brought your armies out of the land of Egypt: therefore shall ye observe this day in your generations by an ordinance for ever. Ex.12:17

In this verse the instruction is given to keep the whole days of unleavened bread. Day 15 is especially emphasized in this context

And Moses said unto the people, Remember this day, in which ye came out from Egypt, out of the house of bondage; for by strength of hand the Lord brought you out from this place: there shall no leavened bread be eaten. Ex.13:3

This day is called a feast

And this day shall be unto you for a memorial; and ye shall keep it a feast to the Lord throughout your generations; ye shall keep it a feast by an ordinance for ever. Ex.12:14

As seen before, the 15th is called the seventh day, which is the feast

Seven days thou shalt eat unleavened bread, and in the seventh day shall be a feast to the Lord. Ex.13:6

The word feast refers to the 15th on which G-d brought His people out of Egypt.

You will not find a single verse in Scripture where day 21, the last day of unleavened bread, is referred to as a feast.


Philo calls the first day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread the day 7/week. He says the same of the first day of the seven-day Feast of Tabernacles

But to the seventh day of the week he has assigned the greatest festivals, those of the longest duration, at the periods of the equinox both vernal and autumnal in each year; appointing two festivals for these two epochs, each lasting seven days; the one which takes place in the spring being for the perfection of what is being sown, and the one which falls in autumn being a feast of thanksgiving for the bringing home of all the fruits which the trees have produced
S.: Philo The Decalogue XXX (159)

Since the biblical weeks are anchored in the new moon, the seventh-day sabbath is at the end of the second week at or near full moon.


On the night around the 15th, the exodus, there was a full moon on which is the day of the feast

Blow up the trumpet in the new moon, in the time appointed, on our solemn feast day. Ps.81:3

verses 5-6

This he ordained in Joseph for a testimony, when he went out through the land of Egypt: where I heard a language that I understood not. I removed his shoulder from the burden: his hands were delivered from the pots. Ps.81:5-6

The seven-day feast of unleavened bread exactly mirrors a biblical week with the seventh-day sabbath as the head or chief of the feast

And on the fifteenth day of the same month is the feast of unleavened bread unto the Lord: seven days ye must eat unleavened bread. Lev.23:6
And in the fifteenth day of this month is the feast: seven days shall unleavened bread be eaten. Num.28:17
Blow up the trumpet in the new moon, in the time appointed, on our solemn feast day. Ps.81:3
Seven days thou shalt eat unleavened bread, and in the seventh day shall be a feast to the Lord. Ex.13:6

All these four verses are in complete harmony with the biblical calendar of creation.


The fifteenth day of the month, the full moon on the night of that day, and the seventh day of the week are one and the same.


Please consider:

The word #H2282 chag in Ex.13:6 refers to the 15th day of the month but not to any other day of the 7-day-feast

Seven days thou shalt eat unleavened bread, and in the seventh day shall be a feast (#H2282) to the Lord. Ex.13:6

The 21st is never called #H2282 chag (fest). The New Moon also is never called #H2282 chag (feast). Festival in Ps.81:3 is a reference to the midmonth feast of unleavened bread or feast of tabernacles

Sound the shofar on the New Moon, in concealment towards the day of our festival (#H2282 chag) Ps.81:3

Ps.81:3 and a Full New Moon?

The Halleluyah Scriptures words it this way:

Blow the ram’s horn at the time of the New Moon, at the covering, on our festival day. Ps.81:3

The NKJV interprets it like this:

Blow the trumpet at the time of the New Moon, at the full moon, on our solemn feast day. Ps.81:3

The Halleluyah Scriptures words it this way:

Blow the ram’s horn at the time of the New Moon, at the covering, on our festival day. Ps.81:3

The NKJV interprets it like this:

Blow the trumpet at the time of the New Moon, at the full moon, on our solemn feast day. Ps.81:3

While Strong’s Exhaustive Concordance translates kece as full moon; Gesenius’ Hebrew – Chaldee Lexicon questions that translation, saying;

“The etymology is not clear to me, for it is not satisfactory to say that it is so called from the whole moon being covered with light. Verbs of covering are often applied in the sense of hiding and covering over, but never, as far as I know, to that of giving light”.

While Strong’s Concordance says this word is spelled כֶּסֶא and translates it twice in the Old Testament as full moon; The Hebrew Scriptures (namely, the Stone Edition Hebrew English Chumash Torah Bible, The Shottenstein Edition Interlinear Tehillim and the Greene’s Interlinear Hebrew-English Bible) all show the word in Hebrew as כָּסָה which corresponds to kasah, which they translate 147 times to mean covered, veiled, clothed, hidden or concealed.

When Moses’ face was shining, it wasn’t hidden, he had to veil it, cover it, hide it. This meaning corresponds also to Brown-Driver-Briggs and Klein’s Etymological Dictionary of the Hebrew Language.

Also, I’ve noticed most people ignore the Hebrew letter lamed before day, in the Hebrew. The Hebrew letter lamed is the letter l in English, and when used like a prefix, at the beginning of a word, is like a preposition, and means toward, or to, or leading into.

Now, with the proper understanding of the terms, we’re going to look again at the verse

Blow the ram’s horn in the renewing, in the concealment, toward the day of our feast. Ps.81:3

So what does that mean, TOWARD the day of our feast?

Some say the feast this verse is referring to, is the Festival of Unleavened Bread, because of the context of the rest of Psalm 81, being the time when Israel was delivered from Egypt. Yhvh tells us the reason why we celebrate the feast of tabernacles in the seventh month, why we dwell in the booth, is to remind us that Yhvh caused Israel to dwell in booths when He delivered them from Egypt

Ye shall dwell in booths seven days; all that are Israelites born shall dwell in booths: That your generations may know that I made the children of Israel to dwell in booths, when I brought them out of the land of Egypt: I am the Lord your G-d. Lev.23:42-43

All of the appointed times are connected in theme, back to the Israelites coming out of Egypt. Scripture even says that the reason we keep the Seventh day Sabbath is because He delivered us from Egypt on this day

Keep the sabbath day to sanctify it, as the Lord thy God hath commanded thee. Six days thou shalt labour, and do all thy work: But the seventh day is the sabbath of the Lord thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, nor thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thine ox, nor thine ass, nor any of thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates; that thy manservant and thy maidservant may rest as well as thou. And remember that thou wast a servant in the land of Egypt, and that the Lord thy God brought thee out thence through a mighty hand and by a stretched out arm: therefore the Lord thy God commanded thee to keep the sabbath day. Deu.5:12-15

The feast it’s referring to here, in Psalm 81:3, I believe, is the Feast of Tabernacles. So, the New Moon previous to that, when you would blow the ram’s horn, in the time of concealment, or covering, announcing the coming chag/festival, is Yom Teruah, the Day of Trumpets. This appointed time falls on the first day of the seventh month, when the moon is hidden, dark, concealed.

[Ria Tameg]

Philo, who lived during the lifetime of the Messiah, confirms both Torah and the wording of the Septuagint.

He writes

For it is said in the Scripture: On the tenth day of this month let each of them take a sheep according to his house; in order that from the tenth, there may be consecrated to the tenth, that is to G-d, the sacrifices which have been preserved in the soul, which is illuminated in two portions out of the three, until it is entirely changed in every part, and becomes a heavenly brilliancy like a full moon, at the height of its increase at the end of the second Week...
S.: Philo ON MATING WITH THE PRELIMINARY STUDIES XIX. (102)

Philo confirms the statement of Ps.81, namely that the Passover at the end of the second week coincides with the full moon. The end of the second week, as seen from the new moon, falls around the 15th day

But to the seventh day of the week he has assigned [the beginning of] the greatest festivals, those of the longest duration [Unleavened Bread and Tabernacles], at the periods of the equinox both vernal and autumnal in each year;...so that each month might receive an especial honour of one sacred day of festival, for the purpose of refreshing and cheering the mind with its holiday.
S.: Philo THE DECALOGUE XXX (161)

This seventh is the weekly seventh and is in front of the six days during the feasts because to the weekly seventh day He has assigned these feasts.

In other words, the greatest (longest) feasts (the Feast of Unleavened Bread and the Feast of Tabernacles) were assigned to the seventh day of the lunar week (the 15th day of the month), with which the feast begins each time and lasts seven days. They were keeping lunar weeks because there is no way the weekly Sabbath (15th) can begin these two festivals on the 15th of 1st and the 15th of 7th month each year, on a continuous seven day cycle by the calendar of today.

Notice Philo DID NOT say they would receive two holy days of festivals, but one, the 15th. To prove the seventh day of the week is the same as the 15th, Philo states,

THE SPECIAL LAWS, II
XXXIII. (210) Again, the beginning of this festival is appointed for the fifteenth day of the month (or seventh day of the week), on account of the reason which has already been mentioned respecting the spring season,

Further proof of this found in John which states

“(for that sabbath day was an high day,)” John 19:31

The Pulpit Commentary notes

Consequently, there was a twofold sanctity about that particular sabbath, seeing that the sabbatic rest of the day following the Paschal meal coincided with the ordinary weekly sabbath; (for great, or high, was the day of that sabbath) (cf. Exodus 12:16; Leviticus 23:7; and notes on John 13:1; 18:28; 19:14). The Pulpit Commentary drew from over 100 authors over a 30 year span to assemble this conservative and trustworthy homiletical commentary set.

So here, just like Philo says, the first day of the Feast (whether of Unleavened Bread or Tabernacles) ALWAYS falls on the weekly Sabbath at the end of the second week, that is the 15th of the lunar month.



Elsewhere, he explains

The fourth (commandment), which treats of the Seventh Day, must be regarded as nothing less than a gathering under one Head of the feasts and the purifications ordained for each feast,
S.: Philo THE DECALOGUE XXX (159)

How can the weekly Sabbath day be considered an assembly under a head of the feasts if it is not at the head of those feasts, that means, begins each year with it?

This proves lunar Sabbaths.


Philo continues by saying,

THE DECALOGUE
XXX (159) “By the seventh I mean BOTH the seventh which INCLUDES the most creative of numbers, six, and that which does NOT INCLUDE it but takes precedence of it and RESEMBLES the unit.”

The word precedence means it comes BEFORE the number six during the feasts, i.e. one of the sevenths comes before the number six during the 7 day feast and the other seventh comes after it and is combined with it. This is IMPOSSIBLE if he used the count for the Sabbath as the people of today do. This seventh is the weekly seventh and is in front of the six days during the feasts because to the weekly seventh day He has assigned these feasts.

Last but not least it says,

“BOTH these are EMPLOYED by Him [YEHOVAH G-d] in reckoning the feast-times.”

You cannot reckon feast-times with a seventh that jumps around during the 7 day feast, on a man-made calendar. Both the sevens have to be fixed — not just the one that is on the 21st because He employed both sevens in reckoning the feast-times. If one of the sevenths could move it would also fall on the 21st at times and would also be combined with the number six and there would be only one seventh.

When Philo states that there are two sevenths in both the Festival of Unleavened Bread and the Festival of Booths (Tabernacles) is he somehow missing the point Saturday sabbatarians would bring up today — that there is a third seventh that will hit in between the 15th and the 21st the majority of years that the feasts come around?

Why does Philo not mention this third seventh?

It is because none exists. Philo only mention two sevenths in relation to the feast and the first of these two sevenths is none other than the weekly seventh day Sabbath that leads the feasts and is considered the first day of the feast — the 15th.


Creation follows the daily, weekly, and monthly rhythms, a rhythm that is struck in the very first verse of the Bible.

It contains in Hebrew exactly seven words corresponding to the seven-day week or a lunar phase, and counts exactly twenty-eight letters corresponding to the four-week sidereal month.

The new moon day is followed by four weeks consisting of six working days and a Sabbath. This results in the Sabbaths always falling on the 8th,15th,22nd and 29th of the month.

[Ria Tameg]

G-d will certainly restore His appointed times, of whom He has spoken by the mouth of His holy prophets from of old, for

I am the Lord, I change not; Mal.3:6

Remember ye the law of Moses my servant, which I commanded unto him in Horeb for all Israel, with the statutes and judgments. Mal.4:4

And it shall come to pass, that from one new moon to another, and from one sabbath to another, shall all flesh come to worship before me, saith the Lord. Isa.66:23

Where does the six-day week begin?

On which day does it begin?

The week takes its beginning after the new moon day.

The Creator numbered the days of the week. He did not give a number to new moon day. New moon is a day of the month, but it is not a week day.

If you want to see just how important the roll of the moon is to the Almighty, and why is should be terribly important to the body of believers, just take a look at this passage

Thus saith the Lord, which giveth the sun for a light by day, and the ordinances of the moon and of the stars for a light by night, which divideth the sea when the waves thereof roar; The Lord of hosts is his name: If those ordinances depart from before me, saith the Lord, then the seed of Israel also shall cease from being a nation before me for ever. Jer.31:35-36

Do you see any room in any of these passages for man to manipulate time or date lines? Want to see arbitrary?

Please examine the illustration below. The original date line was a fairly straight line extending north and south along the 180 ̊ meridian line of longitude, roughly through the middle of the Pacific Ocean. This line is on the opposite side of the globe from 0 ̊ and Greenwich Mean Time





Please note the many peculiarities that are now seen in International Date Line (IDL) represented by the white line. There have been major changes to the IDL over the years, three are pointed out by the arrows





The history behind these changes will show you the arbitrary nature of the man-made date line. The powers that be say that the International Date Line is NOT arbitrary, but necessary. However, the IDL can be and has been moved by popular vote and by governmental decree. It is therefore an arbitrary, artificial, man-made line to divide the days. And without this man-made line the Gregorian calendar blows up. Here now is the story behind the moving the date line in the three places above, notated by the arrows.


In 1867 Alaska was sold to the United States for what by many was then considered to be the absurdly large sum of $7,200,000. The change to the American mode of time reckoning was put into effect by decreeing that friday, October 6, 1867 (this change affected only Alaska as it was entering into the calendar observed by the USA) would be followed by friday, October 18, 1867– a shift of 12 days due to the change to the Gregorian calendar, plus one day on account of the day change and minus one day for the relocation of the date line to the waters of the Bering Strait. So Alaska endured two Fridays in a row in the fall
of 1867. Talk about arbitrary! If you are scratching your head about that, let me explain. In 1867, the Russian Orthodox Church observed the Julian calendar, not the Gregorian. In fact, Russia did not adopt the Gregorian calendar until 1918. If you will remember, from 46 BCE, when the Julian calendar was “invented” until 1582 when the Pope Gregory “invented” the Gregorian calendar to correct for the errors of the Julian calendar (it had no leap days), it was determined that by 1582 the Julian calendar was off by 10 days. Upon implementation of the Gregorian calendar in 1582, nearly the entire world (those still affected by the Roman Empire) saw thursday, October 4 followed by friday, October 15. At the much later date of 1867, when the USA purchased Alaska from Russia, Alaska had to have a calendar change to that of its new “owner”. The 12 days were due to the differences between the Julian and Gregorian calendars. Plus one day was because the next day was another day, MINUS one day because they MOVED the line so none of the Alaskan Aleutian islands would be in the Russian time zone, thus the zig, then the zag in the date line. See arrow 1 above.


The most recent major adjustment of the International Date Line was announced in 1994 by the government of Kiribati. Spread across an ocean area of nearly two million square miles, Kiribati consists of some 33 small atolls with a total surface area of only 280 square miles. This is less than 1/3 of the size of Jacksonville, Florida. As a British colony, Kiribati was centered in the Gilbert Islands, just west of the International Date Line. Upon independence in 1979, the new republic acquired the Phoenix and Line Islands from the United States and the country found itself straddling the date line. Government offices on opposite sides of the line could only communicate on the four days of the week when both sides experienced weekdays simultaneously. For many years the International Date Line that bisected the island republic into two halves had been viewed as an annoying economic nuisance. The western part of the republic was always 24 hours ahead of its eastern part, and there were only four days in each week when official business could be conducted between both parts. To put an end to this situation, Teburoro Tito, the president of Kiribati, announced that on 1 January 1995 the International Date Line would henceforth run along the many-cornered eastern boundary of the republic. Thus the convoluted line attested to by arrow 2 above. One curious oddity, even though Hawaii and the islands of Kiribati that are east of the IDL are in the same time zone, they are a day apart on the calendar.


In Tonga today, the local Seventh-day Adventist church worships on Sunday, because when a change was made to the line (evidently by the King of Tonga), Saturday became Sunday. On December 29, 2011, the Pacific island of Samoa has changed from the east side of the International Date Line to the west, to be in sync with Australia and New Zealand, its main sources of tourism and business





Time is nothing else than the movement of the heavenly bodies plus conjunction. If one intends to keep the Sabbath without distinctive mark in heaven that the father of light has given to determine time, he is forced to draw a date line. Where in the Torah does it say that the creator has given authority to do such a thing?

Examine though for a moment, the situation of Tonga and Samoa. They are both within the same time zone, but on opposite sides of the dateline. When it is Saturday in Tonga, it is Friday in Samoa, yet both are under the same sky, and see the same sunrise and sunset. Who would have the correct Sabbath day? What if a Tongan Jewish businessman wearing his best Tupenu (a skirt instead of a suit) leaves Tonga Friday afternoon an hour before sunset (which he thinks starts the Sabbath), and arrives in Samoa an hour after suset on Thursday. The next day will be Friday in Samoa, and he conducts his business whilst his synagogue back home in Tonga is having Sabbath. That afternoon, two hours before sunset on Friday in Samoa, he gets on a plane and hops back over to Tonga, landing just after sunset… on Saturday – after his Sabbath! When does this poor chap in the farthest diaspora keep his Sabbath if he never had a „Saturday“?

The problem whith the dateline is that it is set by man, not YHVH. Obviously, He knew the planet was round and that this situation existed, and in His system of days, there must be a setting of the dateline using His beacon the moon. In fact there is.


At any rate, this shows the ridiculousness of drawing a line of demarcation between our days. This is not the way the Creator established time in His Word. The Creation Calendar does not suffer from these problems.


Until the early 1840s the philippine islands were observing the weekly cycle of the spanish america but after their trade significantly increased with china the malay peninsula the dutch east indies in australia the philippine authorities decided to abolish the weekly cycle from spanish america and instead implement the weekly cycle of asia

[Ria Tameg]

There is no scientific or theological debate about the lunar basis of the biblical month. Where there is limited dispute is over when the month begins. The Bible does not say exactly when the day of the new moon is.

And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, Take Aaron and his sons with him, and the garments, and the anointing oil, and a bullock for the sin offering, and two rams, and a basket of unleavened bread; And gather thou all the congregation together unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation. And Moses did as the Lord commanded him; and the assembly was gathered together unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation. Lev.8:1-4

This incident occurred on the first day of the month, the day of the new moon

And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, On the first day of the first month shalt thou set up the tabernacle of the tent of the congregation. Ex.40:1-2

Aaron and his sons were sanctified for seven days. For seven days they were not to go out of the tabernacle

And Moses said unto Aaron and to his sons, Boil the flesh at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation: and there eat it with the bread that is in the basket of consecrations, as I commanded, saying, Aaron and his sons shall eat it. And that which remaineth of the flesh and of the bread shall ye burn with fire. And ye shall not go out of the door of the tabernacle of the congregation in seven days, until the days of your consecration be at an end: for seven days shall he consecrate you. As he hath done this day, so the Lord hath commanded to do, to make an atonement for you. Therefore shall ye abide at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation day and night seven days, and keep the charge of the Lord, that ye die not: for so I am commanded. So Aaron and his sons did all things which the Lord commanded by the hand of Moses. Lev.8:31-36

The first sacrifice was offered by Aaron and his sons on the eighth day. On this day the glory of the Lord appeared to the whole congregation

And it came to pass on the eighth day, that Moses called Aaron and his sons, and the elders of Israel; And he said unto Aaron, Take thee a young calf for a sin offering, and a ram for a burnt offering, without blemish, and offer them before the Lord. Lev.9:1-2

And Moses and Aaron went into the tabernacle of the congregation, and came out, and blessed the people: and the glory of the Lord appeared unto all the people. And there came a fire out from before the Lord, and consumed upon the altar the burnt offering and the fat: which when all the people saw, they shouted, and fell on their faces. Lev.9:23-24

No calendar Sabbath would disrupt these seven days of consecration because it was from the New Moon till the 7th day of the moon and after the six workdays they assembled the congregation. Why did they assemble the congregation? To observe the 7th day Sabbath which fell on the 8th day of the moon!
