My sources for this include primarily `Am `Olam: The History of the Eternal Nation, Vol I, by the late Rabbi Shlomo Rotenberg (zt"l), but also Bible Basics, edited by Jerome S. Hahn (both these books are available from Feldheim), but also The Jewish Calendar by Rabbi David Feinstein (available from ArtScroll). Also, timelines giving the true chronology of world history are printed in the backs of many editions of the Chumash and TaNa"KH (eg, the Stone TaNa"KH available from ArtScroll). There is also an excellent online Jewish chronology at this web site.

The teachings of authentic Jewish Tradition are so radically at odds with the "wisdom" and "sophistication" of the Nations of the World that attempts to reconcile the first five days of Creation with Charles Darwin seem downright silly. What are you going to do with all this other stuff, eh?

Read it and weep!

We are currently in the 5766th year of Creation, which is dated from the creation of 'Adam HaRi'shon on the Sixth Day of Creation, which is the first Ro'sh HaShanah. Counting backwards this corresponds to the year 3761 before the "common era."

Christian and secular historians place the Babylonian exile from the years 586 to 516 before the common era. In this chronology Babylonian rule was followed by well over a century of Medo-Persian rule. However, this is not correct. Instead the destruction actually occurred in the year 3338, corresponding to the year "422" before the common era--a difference of 164 years! What is the reason for this discrepancy? Simple: the secularists are wrong!

Sorry, but that is pure wishful thinking. The three dates in question - 586 BC for the Babylonian conquest, 538 for the Persian release of the Jews, and 331 for the arrival of Alexander - are just about as certain as any dates in the Ancient Near East. They are attested by multiple chronologies from multiple peoples.

Your attempts to date mythological people is a harmless pastime, but bald assertions that "the secularists are wrong" about true and verifiable history can serve only to persuade people that the Jews are idiots, which is not an attitude I would like to see in this forum.

Leviticus 23 confirms this when it mandates that shemittah (sabbatical) and yovel (jubilee) years, which are dated from creation, begin in the seventh month.

Correction: that's Leviticus 25, not Leviticus 23. My apologies for the error.

Genesis 15:13
God said to Abram, "Know for certain that your descendants will be strangers in a land that is not theirs, where they will be enslaved and oppressed four hundred years.

Exodus 12
40 Now the time that the sons of Israel lived in Egypt was four hundred and thirty years.
41 And at the end of four hundred and thirty years, to the very day, all the hosts of the LORD went out from the land of Egypt.

In the article you posted, you have the Israelites in Egypt for far less than 400 years. Is your contention that the translations of these OT texts is in error?
