The beginning of the years in the Babylonian calendar was chaotic in the Neo-Babylonian period (no metonic cycle was followed), just like in the Jewish calendar. That means there can't be an accurate conversion algorithm between those calendars, covering that period. Well, at least I've learned something ...

587/607 Question...
by deaconbluez inif the exile wasn't to be 70 years, how is jeremiah 29:10 explained by pro-587 folks?.
10 "for this is what jehovah has said, in accord with the fulfilling of seventy years at babylon i shall turn my attention to you people, and i will establish toward you my good word in bringing you back to this place.. .
also, if it truly was a 70-year period of servitude, and not exile, when was this 70 years served by other nations?.

Thank you Leolaia for that link. I think that from the point of view of making an algorithm for conversions between lunar calendars the only meaningful difference between those calendars would have been the calculation / observation of the new moon. That would probably give a difference of maximum 2 days between those calendars.

Hi AnnOMaly,
I think those converters have a bad algorithm for the phases of the moon (or maybe they don't have one at all ), so you're right about their erroneous results. Though I still don't know what's the difference between the Jewish and Babylonian calendars. BTW, is it possible for 1 Nisan to have been on 23/24 March in 568 BC? Here is from where I've got that date:

Hi Lady Liberty & AnnOMaly
Ann, did you check the links I gave? Because I have, and the conclusions are the same. All those converters show that 15 July from 588 BC and 4 July from 568 BC correspond to the same day (13 or 19) and the same month (Tammuz, the 4th) in the Jewish calendar, which from what I know is similar to the Babylonian calendar. -

LF was first published in 1982. A new edition was released in 1989. Since there are no changes in the sections to be studied between editions, the following page and paragraph numbers apply to either edition.
If this is in response for my post regarding the 'another new one' part, then my bad. By 'another new one' I was referring to "Pay Attention To Daniels Prophecy". At that time I also gave them the 'Let Your Kingdom Come' book, in exchange for the 'Reasoning from the Scriptures', I think.

Some seven years ago I was asked by two JWs to exchange that book for another new one (that I requested). Didn't knew back then that they changed the '1914 generation thing'
PS. I never was a JW, just read some of their literature
