Biblical Calendar

This calendar presents dates calculated using the methodology documented by 119 Ministries. Biblical days are counted evening to evening, lunar conjunctions establish the months, and the lunar conjunction nearest the spring equinox establishes the first biblical month.

A note about the dates

The dates below follow 119 Ministries' documented calculation method, using Jerusalem as the reference point for establishing biblical days and months. Because a biblical day begins in the evening, each range is written from evening to evening rather than midnight to midnight.
