Passover in Acts 12:4

[Thirdwoe]

...

In this passage, could the word for passover in the Aramaic apply to the whole festival of Passover day and the week long Festival of Unleavend bread that follows the Passover?

I just found concrete proof...and it was right here in the New Testament all along...

Luke 22:1 Now the feast of unleavened bread drew near, which is called the Passover. <!-- s:oha: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/oha.gif" alt=":oha:" title="Oha!" /><!-- s:oha: -->

I dont know if this will be helpful, but

i remember the topic of Passover and Unleven bread.

From my recollection, it appears that in time of Yeshua, they used to "call" the day before the 1st day of unleven bread, [which is when the day that the Passover Lams is slaughtered], as an additional Unleven bread day.

Not that the day itself is an Unleven day, but they considered it AS a day of unleven bread, since Passover was ate with unleven bread. [passover, slaughtering of shaal/goat between the evenings, itself is not a Festivan,]

This came from the writing of Josephus. [i cant rememebr the refference though.]
So back then, they considered there to be 8 days of unleven bread.

If i am wrong, and anyone knows, correct me. But i hope this can give additional information to your searches.

peace of Messiah be with you all.
