The occasion of the feasting referred to in Job 1:4 is not clear. As the seven days appear to have been consecutive, they could hardly have been birthdays.
Also, the Hebrew word for birthday or celebrations of annual birthdays is yohm hule'dheth ( as is in Genesis 40:20).


Is Hebrew yohm hule'dheth in Job 1:4?


I follow Jesus Christ , 1 Corinthians 11:1,
1 Peter 2:21.
Not the sons of Job or their life of indulgence.
Job1:5, Job sef, no too trust children say them no commit.. grin grin grin

The simple answer you have decided to choose from question raised is ........I BACKTRACK.

Why? According to you:

1. The occasion of the feasting referred to in Job 1:4 is not clear

Meaning the feasting done by Job's sons could be for birthdays. Therefore, show us where Jehovah hated them for doing so?

2. As the seven days appear to have been consecutive, they could hardly have been birthdays.

When I want to speculation or make assumptions what word will come up for such....... COULD. That's the all I needed here. I told you earlier in the first response to your reference material from your organization that the writer based the ban on birthdays based on speculations, suppositions and assumptions that have open ends. That is why he decided to go to Genesis 40:20 than see Job 3:1 where the same his day was used. The his day refers to day of birth

Your image tells you it is a strange construct and learn to use the familiar and simpler day of birth aka his day

Hope you understand what is going on here?

Job sef, no too trust children say them no commit

As if you trust yourself enough not to pray to
your Jehovah to forgive your sins even in cases you are not aware you had sinned


Here is what CALEB had to say about eating what was used to celebrate birthdays with his friends in those Caleb videos you love to watch. Caleb asked: " what if Jehovah does not want to be my friend anymore

The question becomes where does Jehovah say he is not friends with those who celebrated their day of birth?

Job 3:1-3
After this, Job opened his mouth and cursed the day of his birth. 2 He said:

3 “May the day of my birth perish,
and the night that said, ‘A boy is conceived!"


The context of Job 3:1-3 & Job1:4-5 is different .

Wonder shall never ends.

This is one of the 7 wonders of lying JWs.

So wedding ring was used to God's command of marriage by a pagan Nation who also started a pagan celebration of birthday.


Still lying on the Pharaoh.

Show us where birthday was mentioned in Lev 18


You can twist scripture the way you want but people reading it can see the truth.


So where was wedding ring mentioned by God as what people can use on wedding day, since God accepted it from pagan Egyptians?

When Logic fail you, it becomes a twisted truth. I presented evidence that the western wedding rings traced back to the Greeks and Romans, not as part of a false worship or dedication to a strange god, but a symbol of Marital Union , the same way a signet Ring given to Joseph by a pagan King signifies authority. Does God against what the symbol represent ? No.

That's the figment of your own imagination not mine.
That verse proves that a Christian can CHOOSE ANY DAY to celebrate and there is no condemnation on that.

Exactly, even if he rejoices with pagans. Nobody should condemn him. He Chooses to do so.

You are seeing how disorganized your logic is.

Can you provide a source for this?

" As supreme ruler of the people, the pharaoh was considered a god on earth, the intermediary between the gods and the people. When the pharaoh came to the throne he was instantly associated with Horus - the god who had defeated the forces of chaos and restored order - and when he died, he was associated with Osiris, the god of the dead."
- PHARAOH , World History Encyclopedia

In light of the above . See the below



Origin of birthdays
" The oldest reference to birthdays found in history goes back to ancient Egypt. When pharaohs were crowned in ancient Egypt they were considered to have transformed into gods. This divine promotion made their coronation date much more important than their birth into the world, so they were basically celebrating the Pharaoh’s “birth” as a god. "


https://medium.com/the-innovation/birthdays-the-most-famous-pointless-celebration-5b5940a269ca




Yes it has nothing in connection with strange god.

See the above quotes


I'm celebrating MY OWN BIRTHDAY not ANOTHER person's birthday.

But the text of Romans 14:5-6 says I can choose a DAY I WISH to celebrate.

Is people celebrating birthday celebrating A GOD?

Now "encyclopedia was RIGHT" by Barristter07 word on Mable.....

The same encyclopedia was right when it says "The earliest existing rings are those found in the tombs of ancient Egypt."

You are celebrating something whose origin has to do with connections with pagan gods, customs God banned the Israelites from partaking of. Definitely birthdays is not the point of Romans 14:5,6 . The text is not for festivals dedicated to a strange god as you confessed earlier .

Answer.

Fake answer as usual.


Go and read Bible commentary

The bible is not a story book that would tell us every details the most important information has been passed and that is the Sons of Job celebrated their birthdays and it was never mentioned as a sin.

Benson Commentary
Job 1:4. His sons went and feasted in their houses — Or made a family feast, to testify and maintain their brotherly love. Every one his day — Not every day of the week and of the year, which would have been burdensome to them all, and gross luxury, and which certainly such a holy man as Job would not have permitted; but each his appointed day, perhaps his birth- day, or the first day of the month. It is certain the same expression, יומו, jomo, his day, means his birth-day, Job 3:1. “The verse,” says Dr. Dodd, “might be rendered, And his sons had a constant custom to make a family feast, every one on his birth-day; and they sent and invited their three sisters,” &c. According to Herodotus, the inhabitants of the East in general, and especially the Persians, were remarkable for celebrating their birthdays with great festivity and luxury.

So shameful that, your twisted lying tongue was exposed but you couldn't admit it.

You even have audacity to repeat the WESTERN WEDDING RING nonsense.

You rush to Lev 18:3 which says "So don’t follow the customs of Egypt where you used to live or those of Canaan where I am bringing you."

To drive your point that since Birthday originated from Egypt then God has warned Israelites shouldn't FOLLOW ANY OF THEIR PRACTICES.

Even the son called WESTERN WEDDING RING from Greek & Romans, remember they are part of CANAAN mentioned above.

But everyone knows WEDDING RING originated from Egypt.

So Lev 18:3 should be applied here.

because a well educated person knows that, female children weren't normally giving much attention in ancient documentaries. This can even be seen throughout the scriptures.

Even the text still features the female by saying they too were ALWAYS invited.
