[Avodah] Day of the Week in Tanach

[Micha Berger]

The Y-mi, RH 1:1 (vilna 1a), brings a proof that Jewish kings' years are
counted from Nissan from DhY 2:3:2, which says that Shelomo hamelekh
started building the BHMQ "bechodesh hasheini, basheini, bishnas arba
lemalkhuso." The Y-mi reads it as saying "the 2nd month [of the year,
which was also] the second [month] of the 4th year of his rule".

Then it asks whether it is "the 2nd month, the 2nd" day of that month,
and answers that day of the month is always specified "sheini bachodesh".

And maybe it means Monday, the 2nd day of the week?
It never mentions of the day of the week of an event.

Ah, but what about "Vayhi erev vayhi boqer, yom sheini"?

Answer: Ein lemeidim miberiyaso shel olam.

The yom sheini of creation can't be compared to the usual concept
of yom sheini.

Let your imaginations take you where mine did.

Tir'u baTov!
-Micha
