To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The Passover is to be- celebrated l^XH BHPO in the " month of spring. " * In this part of the world that month falls in March or April. In the southern hemisphere September is the spring-month. Now, I ask you, would not the greatest confusion arise if * Deut. Xvi. 1. 12 each congregation were to keep its own reckoning as regards the Passover? And we should meet with the same difficulty with regard to the feast of weeks, which is fixed for the season when the sickle is put to the corn, or with r...egard to the Feast of Tabernacles, which has to be observed at harvest time. You per- ceive, therefore, into what inextricable confusion we should be driven if we were to depart from the system which our ancient teachers have laid down with pro- found wisdom. I have, then, explained to you, that the keeping of the second days on the three festivals is necessary on account of their being connected with the seasons of the year, and in consequence of the obligation that rested upon our people to make pil- grimages on those occasions to Jerusalem.
