Did you know that the “cock” that crowed at “just the time” was NOT a rooster?

Did you know that the “cock”that crowed at the appointed time was NOT a rooster?

Matthew 26:34. Y’shua said to him, Truly I say to you, that in this night before the cock crows you will deny me three times. (AENT)

The Greek translations would have you believe that it would be a rooster crowing ... but the truth is this: the Aramaic word used was "gaver" which is a slang term for "cock" or "rooster" - referring to the town crier blowing his shofar (ram's horn). ”

The "gaver" was responsible for opening the temple before dawn and calling out loudly, two or three times to announce the early morning services. So, the reality is, "the cock crowed" simply referred to the town crier doing his job.
