Three Days and Three Nights

I know the issue of fitting Matthew 12:40 into a Friday/Sunday period has been discussed before, but does anyone have any historical documentation that shows that the phrase; 3 days AND 3 nights, was a unique first century idiom of Hebrew/Aramaic/Greek which could mean something different than what the phrase means in English?

Adminnemooseus,re: How about quoting Matthew 12:14 (the context around it might also be good)...I’m afraid I don’t see what Matthew 12:14 has to do with my question regarding documentation that shows that the phrase; 3 days AND 3 nights, was a unique first century idiom of Hebrew/Aramaic/Greek which could mean something different than what the phrase means in English?re: ...and mentioning a bit of this previous discussion?For the purpose of this topic, I am only interested in what I asked for in the OP.

If a person doesn’t have a Bible, they probably wouldn’t be interested in responding to this topic.

Sorry, I didn’t realize that questions were not allowed in the Science and the Social and Religious Issues forums.
