TABLE
13 is based upon A Treatise on the Sabbatical Cycle and the Jubilee,
1866, by Dr. B. Zuchermann, Professor at the Jewish Theological Seminary, in
Breslau (now Wrocław, Poland). He had much
influence on what is observed in Israel today. Since
the rabbinic dates are 166 years off, since 458 BC should actually be 623,
and 422 BC should actually be 587, how much confidence should we place in the
480 years between the Exodus (1312 BC) and the temple (832 BC) and the 480
years between the temple (832 BC) and the founding of the second temple (352
BC)? How much confidence should we place in Jepthah being 300 years after the
entrance and 140 years before the temple? Kenneth
Kitchen, for example, dates the exodus as 1260; Jack Finegan says 1250;
Richard Hess says 1247; James Hoffmeier says 1270-1260. Why not 1255? James
Ussher says there were 479 years from the exodus to the temple, but the
rabbinic has 480 (1312-832) and another 480 (832-352) to the second temple. The
rabbinic view says there were 850 years between 1272 BC (when Israel crossed
the Jordan) and 422 BC (which was 490 years before an alleged Sabbatical in
68-69 AD). Ussher’s
Jubilees began in the 7th year after crossing the Jordan, but the
Rabbinic view says they began counting after the 14th year, in
1258 BC. Therefore,
Ussher in his Annals of the World defined David’s first year in Hebron
and Solomon’s 12th year as being Jubilees, and the Ark was brought
to Jerusalem in a Sabbatical year, in Solomon’s 12th year. Rabbinic
Jubilees are associated with 872 (perhaps David’s 1st year), and
822 (perhaps Solomon’s 12th year), and 458 BC, when Josiah found
the lost temple scroll (the book of Moses). 422
BC was 17 Jubilees (50 years each) after the Israelites entered the land in
1272 BC. Why the change? 422 is associated with when the first temple burned
70 Sabbaticals (490 years) before the second temple burned in 70 AD. These
suddenly become 49-year Jubilees. The
Jubilee of 408 BC was 14 years after 422 when the temple was burned (Ezekiel 40:1).
In 458 BC, Josiah found the lost scroll in the temple. 408 is 17 |
