Christians the week's first day for Sabbath hold;

The Jews the seventh, as they did of old;

The Turks the sixth, as we have oft been told.

How can these three, in the same place and day,

Have each his own true Sabbath? tell, I pray.

i am a newbie, but is the answer just that the different ethnic groups number days of the week differently?

for example, xtians think sunday is the first day of the week, jews think monday is the first and therefore sunday is last, turks think sunday 6th...?
