Sacred
Time,
Part
1
(Levi&cus
23:
144)
With
the
building
of
the
Tabernacle
in
the
second
half
of
Exodus
we
learned
of
sacred
space,
space
that
mirrors
the
tripar&te
structure
of
Scriptural
cosmology.
In
Lesson
#16,
the
Day
of
Atonement
or
Yom
Kippur,
we
examined
sacred
&me.
We
rst
encounter
sacred
&me
in
the
1st
crea&on
story,
Genesis
1:
1
2:
3.
In
a
beau&ful
example
of
carefully
structured
mythopoeic
literature,
God
creates
the
heavens
and
the
earth
in
six
days,
res&ng
on
the
seventh:
Thus
the
heavens
and
the
earth
and
all
their
array
were
completed.
On
the
seventh
day
God
completed
the
work
he
had
been
doing;
he
rested
on
the
seventh
day
from
all
the
work
he
had
undertaken.
God
blessed
the
seventh
day
and
made
it
holy,
because
on
it
he
rested
from
all
the
work
he
had
done
in
creaGon.
(Genesis
2:
1-3)
Now,
in
Lesson
#16
we
learn
that
sacred
&me
punctuates
the
year,
giving
it
a
rhythm
that
mirrors
the
natural
agrarian
cycle
of
plan&ng,
growing,
harvest
and
fallow,
as
well
as
Gods
interven&on
into
human
history
for
his
covenant
people.
The
Jewish
calendar
incorporates
seven
major
periods
of
sacred
&me,
or
holidays
(e.g.,
holy-days):
