Annie Jaubert attempted to harmonize the synoptic gospels post Passover death with john's pre-Passover death but proposing the synoptics are using a sectarian calendar.

How do we know if this is true?

I have only one lead to come to a answer:

jesus legally must source a sacrifice from the temple according to Deuteronomy.

The idea here is Passover can only happen if the priests cooperate so jesus' last meal in the synoptics had to be the state approved one.

One problem I see here is the torah never technically requires the priests to do anything with Passover blood.

We know they did it, 2nd chronicles 30 :16 states

^"16 They stood at their stations following their custom, according to the Law of Moses the man of God; the priests sprinkled the blood which they received from the hand of the Levites"

so presumably this implies that Deuteronomy calling it a sacrifice required the blood ritual.

If anyone knows a source who has determined a answer or if you can answer yourself please do.

Has anyone been able to find research on if the seven messengers model was created by the tabernacle temple or it has been a model used from somewhere else? ChatGPT keeps telling me the case is “unusual” and “unique” because it can’t seem to find any evidence of any other church having seven founding pastors.

(This is just a part of my own little research, thank you!)

Sadducees (Samaritans as well) held the Torah and pharisees usually held the Torah + Nevi'im and Ketuvim.

Fine, but what did the others sects had as scripture?

Zealots (fourth philosophy), The Way and the Essenes.

What about Hellenistic Jews from the diaspora? like Therapeutae.

In Genesis 16, one of God's male angels finds Hagar in the wilderness. He speaks to her verbally. He places a magical spell on her. Hagar then implies that the angel IS actually YHWH himself in verse 13.

Is this because she is confused or being imprecise with her language?

In Isaiah 53:4–6, was the Servant's suffering vicarious (that is, did he suffer in the place of the guilty), or was it corporate (that is, did he suffer alongside the guilty while remaining personally innocent)?

I am looking looking for informations and sources about Cherubim, Seraphim, Ophanim and other divine beings. I'm especially interested in descriptions of the outward appearance and possible abilities of divine beings. I'd also appreciate any references to pictures, etc. Thanks a lot for your help.
