On the third day, which was
Pharaoh's birthday, he made a
feast for all his servants and
lifted up the head of the chief
cupbearer and the head of the
chief baker among his servants. He
restored the chief cupbearer to
his position, and he placed the
cup in Pharaoh's hand. But he
hanged the chief baker, as Joseph
had interpreted to them.
(Genesis 40:20-22)
ESV
His sons used to go and hold a
feast in the house of each one on
his day, and they would send and

and drink with them.

Praise the Lord!
Praise God in his sanctuary;
praise him in his mighty heavens!
Praise him for his mighty deeds;
praise him according to his
excellent greatness! Praise him
with trumpet sound; praise him
with lute and harp! Praise him
with tambourine and dance; praise
him with strings and pipe! Praise
him with sounding cymbals; praise
him with loud clashing cymbals!
...
(Psalm 150:1-6)

its beginning, and the patient in
spirit is better than the proud in
spirit.

Lord: “Learn not the way of
the nations, nor be dismayed at
the signs of the heavens because
the nations are dismayed at them,

the hands of a craftsman. They
decorate it with silver and gold;
they fasten it with hammer and
nails so that it cannot move.
(Jeremiah 10:2-4)

the daughter of Herodias danced
before the company and pleased
Herod,
(Matthew 14:6)
ESV
One person esteems one day as
better than another, while another
esteems all days alike. Each one
should be fully convinced in his
own mind. The one who observes the
day, observes it in honor of the
Lord. The one who eats, eats in
honor of the Lord, since he gives
thanks to God, while the one who
abstains, abstains in honor of the
Lord and gives thanks to God.
(Romans 14:5,6)
ESV
Therefore let no one pass judgment
on you in questions of food and
drink, or with regard to a
festival or a new moon or a
Sabbath.
(Colossians 2:16)
ESV
