Birth-day.
The only scriptural notices of birth-days being kept are in reference to Pharaoh, Genesis 1:40; and to Herod Antipas, when John the Baptist lost his life. Matthew 14:6; Mark 6:21. It is thought by some that the sons of Job who feasted 'every one his day' did so on their birth-days. Job 1:4, Job 1:1. We do not read that the Israelites had any such custom; and the Preacher says the day of death is better than the day of one's birth. Ecclesiastes 7:1.
