| The Greek word is sabbatwn which
is plural, and means "sabbaths." This is the normative meaning
of the word as any word study will quickly prove. We are bound to
stick with it unless proven otherwise. If you are wondering what
the plural of "sabbaths" means in "day of the Sabbaths," the idea in Greek
is "the day on which the sabbaths take place." Since the "day of
the sabbaths" occurs on 52 seventh days in the English year, the use of
the plural is justified. Most translations
confuse the issue by not translating the plural, or by mistranslating
this word "week." |
