There are things well defined in Scripture and other things that are not. But it seems we often choose the lessor defined topics to divide over.

I wonder whether it is due to the fact that human nature is to fully want to understand why we are doing something and when we don't understand then we want to make rules around the subject to make it "fit in" with our beliefs.

For instance, when you tell a toddler not to touch a hot plate then they don't simply walk away in obedience, but first want to know why.

As we are discussing the feast dates this month: As adults, the Bible only tells us about barley being Abib to determine the start of the year, but it doesn't make sense and therefore we want to add additional rules and calculations to make it fit our paradigm. We basically can't accept that the dates may change due to weather conditions (which are all in Father's hands in any case) as it will be inconvenient not to know the exact date and almost everything else in our lives run on calculable time slots.

It is like an expecting mother who calculates her due date, but the baby comes when it is time and not according to the calculation. The parents wait in anticipation and simply go with the flow in the run up to the calculated date, but know that it can happen at any time the closer they get to the date.

The calculated date coincides with the birth date, but does not cause the birth. Even at the time of birth, only when you see the baby can you determine the hour of the birth.

Ovadyah Ben Yisrael
From this week’s Torah portion:
What is a darkness so dark it can be felt?
(hint: the antithesis of this is in bold below)
“And YHWH said to Moshe, ‘Stretch out your hand toward the heavens, and let there be darkness over the land of Mitsrayim, even a darkness which is felt.’ And Moshe stretched out his hand toward the heavens, and there was thick darkness in all the land of Mitsrayim for three days. They did not see one another, nor did anyone rise from his place for three days, but the children of Yisra’el had light in their dwellings.”
"Your Word is a lamp to my feet And a light to my path."
"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with Elohim, and the Word was Elohim. He was in the beginning with Elohim. All came to be through Him, and without Him not even one came to be that came to be. In Him was life, and the life was the light of men."

SHALOM!

Here is your question for Yom Revy'y found in today's Torah portion in Shemoth 11:4-12:20:

When will be the beginning of the year according to YHWH?
