THE DATE AND TIME OF THE EXODUS
In order to use the information in the Torah to date The Exodus it is necessary to know when the fall of the house of Judah was. Modern historians place it in 587 or 586 BC. It is possible to use information in Josephus and the Torah to eliminate the uncertainty in the year.
When Josephus wrote, the Jews had already been decimated by the Romans. So Josephus released information to posterity by revealing the secret of the 2625 days of Daniel, there was little reason to keep it secret any longer as the temple had been destroyed and the Jews had been expelled from Jerusalem.
According to the book Hebrew Hieroglyphics by John Lamb, 0 BC corresponds to 2938 years after the great flood, that is 0 BC= 2938 ATF.
The whole world switched from a 295.306 day per year lunar calendar to a 365 day per year solar calendar called the Octaeteris in 412 BC, on Julian day number 1570569.5, as I proved earlier in this thread here:
Megathread: An explanation on why Racism has created historical errors
2938-412=2526
So the whole world switched calendars in 2526 ATF. if you invert that number you get 2625 the prophecy of Daniel. So it appears that the Book of Daniel was written after 412 BC regardless of what the Torah says.
Bible Gateway passage: Daniel 12:11-12 - New International Version
There you will see the numbers 1290 and 1335.
1290+1335=2625
Now there's a clue in Josephus regarding the prophecy of Daniel.
Now here's the link to Josephus antiquities of the Jews.
https://www.gutenberg.org/files/2848/2848-h/2848-h.htm
The following passage is in book 12 chapter 7 article 6.
"For so it was, that the temple was made desolate by Antiochus, and so continued for three years. This desolation happened to the temple in the hundred forty and fifth year, on the twenty-fifth day of the month Apeliens, and on the hundred fifty and third olympiad: but it was dedicated anew, on the same day, the twenty-fifth of the month Apeliens, on the hundred and forty-eighth year, and on the hundred and fifty-fourth olympiad. And this desolation came to pass according to the prophecy of Daniel, which was given four hundred and eight years before; for he declared that the Macedonians would dissolve that worship [for some time]."
Olympiad 154, year 1 was 164 BC.
According to Josephus Daniel gave the prophecy 408 years earlier in 572 BC, but this is impossible since Daniel lived after 412 BC. Now it did not escape my notice that 572 BC is awfully closed to when the Temple of Jerusalem was destroyed by the Babylonians.
2625 days= 7 years, 68 days.
572 + 7 = 579
Not far back enough.
Go back from January 1st 572 BC by twice 2625 days.
2625+2625=5250 days=14 years 136.5 days
January 1st, 586 BC - 136 days= August 18th, 587 BC
What is the Julian day number of August 18th 587 BC in Julian proleptic calendar?
To answer that question you need to know the Julian day number of day one of Julius Caesar's new calendar, which I found earlier in the thread.
1704977.5 = January 1st, 44 BC
Dates after that are in the Julian calendar, dates before that are in the Julian proleptic calendar.
584 BC was a leap year, 584 - 44 = 540 and 540 / 4 is 135.
Four tropical years in the Julian calendar consists of 1461 days. Therefore
1704977.5 - 135*1461=1507742.5=Jan 1, 584 BC
August 18th, 587 BC= 1506876.5
Now either that's when The siege began or when The siege ended, if Josephus gave us a clue.
That far back in history the Jews were using a 10-month lunar calendar. It was as follows:
CLASSICAL HEBREW CALENDAR
Nisan 29 days Sivan 30 days Tammuz 29 days Av 30 days Elul 29 days Tishri 30 days Heshvan 29 days Kislev 30 days Tevet 29 days Shabbat 30 days
In the Torah it states that the siege began on the 10th day of the 10th month.
Bible Gateway passage: 2 Kings 25:1-4 - New International Version
Shabbat 10, 587 BC = August 18th, 587 BC???
According to the passage The siege lasted 14 months.
Now the number was really 136.5 not 136. If I would have chose to go back 137 days it would be August 17th.
One year gets you to August 17th 586 BC. Two more lunar months consists of 59 days so that the siege ended on October 15th 586 BC Julian proleptic. This is the date of the Intergravissimas. The Gregorian calendar supposedly went into effect on October 15th 1582. Pope Gregory stipulated that the day after October 4th 1582 would be October 15th 1582 in order to restore the vernal equinox to where it was during the council of Nicea. The Intergravissimas never went into effect. The day after October 4th 1582 was October 5th 1582. It's a lie put forth by the Roman Catholic Church. When you pay attention to Julian day numbers you catch them in their lie.
Day 1 of Octaeteris= 1570569.5 = Novembrilius 1, 413 BC
In the new 12 months per year solunar calendar the New Year began in the month of Tishri as the following link suggests
Calendar, Jewish - Livius.
Rosh Hashanah rings in the New Year in the civil calendar Nisan is the first month in the ecclesiastical calendar. As you can see in the link Rosh Hashanah is celebrated in the month of Tishri. For that reason we have the following:
Tishri 1, 2526 ATF [neoclassical Hebrew]=1570569.5 = Novembrilius 1, 413 BC
But the Romans let October run 6 days longer than normal in 413 BC, so that the Jews must have had:
Tishri 1, 2525 ATF [classical Hebrew] = 1570563.5
We can find Nisan 1, 2525 easily:
1570563.5 - 29-30-29-30-29=1570416.5=Nisan 1, 2525
The proof that this is correct is in the Gospel of John chapter 21.
John 21:10 Jesus said to them, " bring some of the fish you have just caught." So Simon Peter climbed back into the boat and dragged the net ashore. It was full of large fish, 153, but even with so many the net was not torn."
The 153rd day of classical Hebrew year 2525 was
1570416.5 + 153 = 1570569.5 =day 1 of the Octaeteris = day 1 of the neoclassical Hebrew year 2526 = Tishri 1, 2526 ATF [neoclassical Hebrew]
Tishri 1, 2525 and Tishri 1, 2526 differ by 6 days. The Jews incremented the year, at day 1 of the Octaeteris. Thus the year 2525 was only 153 days long.
Thus, the mystery of the 153 fish is explained.
We can now find the Hebrew calendar date of August 18th 587 BC, to see if it was really Shabbat 10.
1570416.5 = Nisan 1, 2525 ATF/413 BC
1506876.5 = August 18th 587 BC
1506875.5 = August 17th 587 BC
1570416.5 - 1506876.5 = 63540
63540/295.306=215.16
1570416.5 - 215*295.306=1506925.71
Therefore 1506925.5 = Nisan 1, 2310 ATF/586 BC.
1506925.5 - 1506875.5 = 50 days
Shabbat 1, 2309 ATF/587 BC = 1506895.5
Now to get to the date of the start of The siege of Jerusalem by the Babylonians we need to go back 20 more days. That takes us to:
1506875.5 = Tevet 10, 2309 ATF = August 17, 587 BC
Thus 2 Kings 25:1 should say the 10th day of the 9th month, not the 10th day of the 10th month.
In the Torah it has the word for the 'tenth' month as
Heh ayin shin yod resh yod (hasheeree)
In the Strong's concordance the words for 9th and 10th are:
Ninth 8671 = tav shin yod ayin yod (tashee-ee')
Tenth 6224 = ayin shin yod resh yod (asheeree')
As you can see, the word for tenth in 2 Kings 25:1 has an extra letter at the front, heh, that the word for tenth in the Strong's concordance does not have. Now the letter heh in Hebrew strongly resembles the letter tav. If you change the heh to a tav in hasheeree you get tasheeree which is almost the Hebrew word for ninth. Changing resh in tasheeree to ayin gives the spelling of ninth, and together the two letters played with spell Ra. Thus it appears the Jews played a game with the spelling of the word ninth, changing it to tenth. Therefore
1506875.5 = Tevet 10, 2309 ATF = August 17, 587 BC = Jerusalem besieged by the Babylonians
Consider Jeremiah 52:6
Bible Gateway passage: Jeremiah 52:6 - New International Version
The fourth month of the ten month lunar calendar of the Hebrews was Av. So according to the scriptures Jerusalem's walls were penetrated on Av 9, 2311 ATF.
Tisha Be' Av means "the 9th of Av," in modern Hebrew. It commemorates the destruction of the first Jewish temple in modern Judaism.
Tisha B'Av - Wikipedia
1506875.5+20+30+295+29+30+29+8=1507316.5=Av 9, 2311 ATF = the destruction of the first Jewish temple
Day 1 of the Julian calendar =1704977.5=Ianuarius 1, 44 BC
584-44=540, 540/4=135, 1704977.5-135*1461=1507742.5 = Ianuarius 1, 584 BC
Ianuarius 1, 585 BC = 1507377.5
1507377.5 - 1507316.5 = 61 days
31+30=61
Therefore
Av 9, 2311 ATF = Novembrilius 1, 586 BC [Julian proleptic]
The final question to be answered is what is this calendar date in Octaeterian proleptic?
1570569.5 = Novembrilius 1, 413 BC
1570569.5-29-30-29-30-29-30-29-30 = 1570333.5 = Unius 1, 413 BC
(586-413)*365.25/295.306=213.9755
1570333.5 - 214*295.306=1507138.016 = Unius 1, 587 BC
1507316.5 - 1507137.5 =179
30+29+30+29+30+29=177
179-177=2
Therefore
Av 9, 2311 ATF = 1507316.5 = Octobrilius 3, 586 BC [Octaeterian proleptic]= Novembrilius 1, 586 BC [Julian proleptic] = Jerusalem's walls breached by the Babylonians
Kings of the Southern Kingdom of Judah
17.4 Rehoboam Heshvan 1916 to Nisan 1934
2.9 Abijah to Shebat 30th 1936
41 Asa to Nisan 1978
25 Jehoshaphat to Nisan 2003
8 Jehoram to Shebat 2010
1 Ahaziah to Shebat 2011
6.1 Athaliah to Nisan 2018
39.9 Joash to Shebat 2057
29.3 amaziah to Tammuz 2087
52 azariah to Tammuz 2139
15.7 jotham to Shebat 2154
16 ahaz to Shebat 2170
29.4 Hezekiah to Av 2200
55 Manasseh to Av 2255
2 Amon to Av 2257
31 Josiah to Av 2288
.3 Jehoahaz to Heshvan 2288
11.2 Jehoiakim to Tevet 2299
.3 Jehoiachin to Sivan 2300
11.2 zedekiah to Av 9, 2311
Working backwards from when Jerusalem's walls were breached we see that Solomon died in 1916 ATF, in the fortieth year of his reign.
1st Kings 6:1 "in the 480th year after the Israelites came out of egypt, in the fourth year of Solomon's reign over israel, in the month of Siv, on the 2nd of the month, he began to build the Temple of the Lord."
Thus the foundation of the temple was laid 36 years before Solomon died or 1880 ATF.
Jewish Temple foundation laid Sivan 2, 1880 [classical Hebrew]
Note: Since I determined the Jews added a thousand years to the flood, it's improper to refer to the founding date of the temple as 1880 ATF, it's more accurate to refer to the year as 1880 [classical Hebrew] or 880 ATF.
We can thus get the Julian day number of the foundation of Solomon's Temple being laid.
It was shown earlier that
Nisan 1, 2525 = 1570416.5
Therefore
1570416.5 -(2525-1880)*295.306=1379944.5=Nisan 1, 1880 [CH]
1379944.5+29+1=1379974.5=Sivan 2, 880 ATF=933.810 BC=March 11, 934 BC
Aside: March 11th is where the Catholic Church claimed the 1582 vernal equinox fell, prompting Pope Gregory XIII to add 10 days to the calendar, to place the vernal equinox to where it was at the 325 AD council of Nicea. The natural inference is that someone within Italy had figured out when the foundation of Solomon's Temple was laid in ancient times, because that's just another lie. Therefore the year of the Intergravissimas was planned for in antiquity, to be a year when the vernal equinox fell on March 20th. They would claim it fell on March 21st that year, and the church would claim publicly that it slipped 10 days, implying it fell on March 11th that year.
We now have enough information to find out when the Exodus took place using the Torah
From the kings list the kings of Judah reigned for 2311-1916=395 lunar years. From the founding of the temple to the first king was 36 years, as the temple was begun in 4th Solomon and he reigned 40 years. Then according to 1st Kings 6:1 "in the 480th year after the Israelites came out of egypt, in the fourth year of Solomon's reign over israel, in the month of ziv, the second of the month, he began to build the Temple of the Lord."
Thus the amount of time from The Exodus to The Fall of the House of Judah was 480+36+395 = 911.
Av 9, 586 BC=1507316.5
1507316.5-911*295.306=1238292.5=1321.7
I was expecting that to be near 1304 BC.
Seder Olam Rabbah modern Jewish calendar English pdf free online
There you see the Seder Olam has:
155 years = Solomon dedicates temple to 23rd yr of Joash 18 yr. renovation of Temple
218 years = 23rd Joash renovation to Josiah 18th yr. renovation
From 18th Josiah to fall of the house of Judah there's an additional 13+11+1+11=36 years.
155+218+36=409
409+480=889
890 is the accepted number of years from the Exodus to the fall of the house of Judah.
7 was considered lucky by the Romans.
13 was considered lucky by the Jews.
7+7+7=21
911-21=890
Using 890 instead of 911 we get:
1507316.5-890*295.306=124494.5=1304.735 BC
Date of flood=1645.254 BC
Date of Exodus=1304.73 BC
(1645.254-1304.735)*365.25/295.306=421.17
Thus the Greeks should have said 421, but they lied to the Jews and said 422.
