Moreover, Josiah kept a passover unto the Lord in Jerusalem, etc.] Where only it was to be kept: and they killed the passover on the fourteenth day of the first month; the month Nisan, as the Targum, which was the exact time of killing the passover lamb, according to the law of Moses, (<021206>Exodus 12:6), in the Vulgate Latin version of the Apocrypha in: ``And Josias held the feast of the passover in Jerusalem unto his Lord, and offered the passover the fourteenth day of the first month;” (1 Esdras 1:1) it is called the fourteenth moon of the first month; a phrase often used in ecclesiastical writers, when speaking of the time of the passover; and so we now call one of the days of the week “dies lunae”, Monday.
