Yerucham who argues that the definitive "ה"  in the beginning of the word "הַשַּׁבָּת" suggests that it is a defined day, known from beforehand as the special day of the week, Shabbat.</fn></point> |

MiMachorat HaShabbat
Exegetical Approaches
Shabbat Bereshit
Within Chag HaMatzot
Sources:Baytusim, Samaritans, Karaites - Daniel Alkumsi the Karaite,Solomon b. Yerucham the Karaite, Yefet (commentary), Levi b,. Yefet, R. Aharon b. Yosef (Hamuvchar) Keter Torah, opponents in R. Saadia Gaon, Karaites in Kuzari
What must be within Chag MaMatzot?
- ממחרת השבת – According to the Karaites, the "day following the Shabbat" (rather than Shabbat itself) must fall within the week of Chag Hamatzot. Thus, one could conceivably bring the Omer offering and start counting as early as the 15th of Nissan.1
- השבת – The Samaritans, in contrast, maintain that the Shabbat itself (not the "day following the Shabbat") must fall within the holiday. As such, one would never bring the Omer offering before the fifteenth, but depending on when Shabbat were to fal, one might bring it as late as the 22nd, after the conclusion of teh festival.
Shabbat – The understanding of Shabbat as the seventh day of the week would seem to be the simple meaning of the word as supported by multiple verses in Torah. See, for example, Shemot 20:7,10, Shemot 31:14-15 and Devarim 5:12-15.2
