Bible Student,
The meaning of the expression 'between two evenings' is disputed, but I believe you have opted for the wrong interpretation.
The Speaker's commentary suggests the following:[paraphrase]
The ancient custom of the Hebrews was to slay the paschal lamb immediately after the the offering of the daily sacrifice, which on the day of passover took place a little earlier than usual, between 2pm and 3pm. This would allow about two hours and a half for slaying and preparing all the lambs. It is clear that they would not wait until sunset, at which time the evening meal would take place. This interpretation is supported by Rashi, Kimchi, Bochart, Lightfoot, Clericus, and Patrick.
The weakness of the other interpretation, is that the interval between sunset and total darkness is a short time in the East, and insufficient for the work.
Rosenmuller shows from the Talmud that the twilight, as strickly defined, did not last longer than it would take to walk half a mile ie. about ten minutes.
This leads me to think that the slaying of the lambs definitely took place on the 14 Nisan in the afternoon. The day is therefore called the PREPARATION. It is ALSO called the PASSOVER because that is when the slaying of the lamb occurs. The meal, or Seder, does not take place until the evening, which is then the beginning of a new day, the 15 NISAN. The 15 Nisan is also the Feast of Unleavened Bread and a holy convocation, or sabbath.
Inglesva, this would also suggest that Unger has mistakenly called the 13 Nisan the day of preparation, when, in fact it's the 14 Nisan.
You are incorrect.What you are forgetting, or not paying attention to, is the fact that it does not turn Nisan 14th until 6pm,technically on Nisan 13th.Anything done before this time is Nisan 13th,which would not fit into what it states in the holy scriptures.It says the lamb is to kept until the 14th day and then slaughtered at twilight.There is no afternoon until 18 hours after twilight on Nissan 14th.So the lamb was definitely, with out a doubt, slaughtered at twilight on Nisan 14th.
