Deuteronomy 16... "The first day of the Seventh Month shall be Sabbath!" That makes the 1st, the 8th, the 15th, the 22nd and the 29th ALL, The (Seventh Day) Sabbath Days. "The tenth day of the Seventh Month" therefore always was on the Second Day of the week. This day is not called 'sabbath' nor 'holy' - it did not 'float' through the days of the week; it was 'stationary'.
Here (the following six pictures) is how the Torah dates "the tenth day of the Seventh Month".

Not really following you here. Are you saying the first day of the 7th month always fell on a weekly Sabbath?

isn't Yom Kipour the Day Of Atonement????????

The irony - yes it is - the ALLEGED 'DAY' - of - Atonement. But 'DAY' - of - Atonement is not what is written.
Here in Leviticus 23 where ‘etsem yom’ occurs 3 times, the KJV simply translates it ‘the same day’ / ‘that same day’, the same as the Septuagint in all 17 cases of ‘etsem yom’. WHY? Because “the tenth day of the Seventh Month” was an ordinary, ‘day-of-the-week’ scheduled for HUMAN WORK, even appointed for the extraordinary and utter SOUL’S effort at atonement and peace. But the Effort, instead of being called “Your-Cessation-at-Atonement” (three times!), the Day was wrongly called ‘The Day-of-Atonement’-‘Yom Kippur’.

Could you elaborate on this for me? What is the significance of the difference?

Much love!

It has generally been accepted that the Greek NT word, ‘sabbath’ has only once been applied for the “week” as such, in Luke 18:12, “I fast twice a week” - νηστεύω δὶς τοῦ σαββάτου.

Now, through Judaism’s Yom Kippur indoctrination thwarted, Acts 13:42 became the second instance of similar meaning, παρεκάλουν εἰς τὸ μεταξὺ σάββατον λαληθῆναι αὐτοῖς τὰ ῥήματα ταῦτα—“the Gentiles besought that these words might be preached to them the WEEK (sabbath) IN BETWEEN”. Dr Alfred Marshall renders τὸ μεταξὺ σάββατον, “the interval week”.

Now εἰς τὸ μεταξὺ σάββατον must have been a familiar reference among first century believers to the week of the feast of tabernacles from the weekly Sabbath on the 15th, to the weekly Sabbath and last day of the feast on the 22nd of the Seventh Month. The feast of tabernacles nestled between the first and eighth days of the month’s Sabbaths, and the last of the month’s Sabbaths on the 29th day of the month. And so the “in-between-week” comprised all eight the days of the feast of tabernacles ‘interval’.
