Shlama Akhi Phil,
Thank you for posting the lexicon references that show that sabbath can mean week. It is interesting to note that the reference to week is always number 2, it is never incorporated as part of the original definition which suggests this is a second meaning, a meaning which has evolved over time. This is why I asked for a biblical reference, as I believe at the time of the gospels there was no such meaning attached, I could of course be wrong and I remain open to persuasion.
