Page "Jubilee (biblical)" Paragraph 26

If counting is measured back 17 cycles from Ezekiel's Jubilee that began in Tishri of 574 BC, the first year of the first cycle would have been 1406 BC.

According to the religious calendar that started the year in Nisan, and in accordance with Joshua 5: 10 that places the entry in the land in Nisan, Nisan of 1406 BC is the month and year when counting started.

But 1406 BC is the year of entry into the land that is traditionally derived by another method, namely taking Thiele's date of 931 / 930 BC for the start of the divided kingdom after Solomon's death, in conjunction with 1 Kings 6: 1 ( Solomon's fourth year was 480th year of Exodus-era ), to derive the date of the Exodus in 1406 BC.

The method of determining the date of the Exodus and entry into Canaan from the Jubilee cycles is independent of the method of deriving these dates from 1 Kings 6: 1, yet the two methods agree.
