427 years equal 61 Sabbaticals

In 427 years, there are 61 sabbaticals.

From Adam to the temple, there are 2989 yrs (427 sabbaticals or 61 jubilees).

In 6,000 years, (actually 5978 yrs. since 6,000 is not evenly divisible by 49), there are 122 (61 x 2) jubilees.

427 years after Noah’s flood, Abraham was age 75 (when his father died, when he first entered Canaan). It shows also that his 75^th year was 427 years before the Exodus.

This means that Abraham’s 75^th year and the exodus were both in sabbatical years if they began counting sabbaticals after the flood. This is likely the original version (427 + 427 = 854 yrs.) (61 + 61 = 122 sabbaticals).

However, many use Exodus 12:40-41 to prove Abraham was called 430 years before the exodus, not 427 years. But 430 is not divisible by 7. It’s three years off. Moreover, Acts 7:2-4 can be used to prove that Abraham was called before his father died, before he dwelled in Haran, before he was 75.

This becomes evidence that Abraham was called twice, once while he was 72, when he dwelled in Ur 430 years before the exodus and once when he dwelled in Haran, when he was 75, that is, 427 years before the exodus as in TABLE 6.

1393 BC (427 years before the temple) was a sabbatical year as illustrated in the following link: http://code251.com/code490-p9.html

Numerology or Science?

Some may ask, “Why would God divide time into 427-year cycles? To answer this, Genesis 1:14 says that the sun, moon, and stars (including planets) are “for signs, seasons, days and years.” Can we find a 427-year cycle in astronomy? Moses would not have approved using numbers based on numerology or astrology. According to legend, the planets were created during the seven days of creation, when Adam was created.

It is likely that the original version of the 427-year pattern was based upon a 427-year cycle, when Jupiter aligns with the sun, earth and a distant star. There is a lack of evidence that something else, anything else besides Jupiter, has a 427-year cycle. Jupiter aligns with the sun, earth and a distant star every 166 years (14 orbits), 261 years (22 orbits) and 427 years (36 orbits) (166 + 261 = 427).

Moses published the genealogies of Adam, Seth, Cain, Ishmael and Esau and did not likely restrict future scribes from inserting their own calculations between major events and their own numbers between each generation. Each of the three main versions of the Bible has different numbers.

Chaos and Confusion

From the above, it is understandable how almost every chronologist has a different belief system regarding biblical chronology, and it looks like none have been right.

The Origin of the 251-year Pattern

It is likely that the original version of the 251-year pattern was based upon a 251-year cycle, when Venus aligns with the sun, earth and a distant star. There is a lack of evidence that something else, anything else besides Venus, has a 251-year cycle. Venus aligns with the sun, earth and a distant star every 224.695 days (1 orbit), 8 years (13 orbits), 243 years (395 orbits) and 251 years (408 orbits) (8 + 243 = 251).
