The Jewish calendar is the type of calendar that the Jewish people use for counting time and commemorating birthdays, festivities, weddings, deaths, religious celebrations and other solemnities. According to the Hebrews, the years are counted from what they believe to be the creation of Adam.
Created over 3,000 years ago, the Jewish calendar is based on the movements of the Moon and the Sun, and is therefore a lunisolar calendar. In this way, months are counted from the lunar cycles, and years from the solar cycles. Therefore, years can range from 12 to 13 months, with 29 or 30 days.
In September 2021 of the Gregorian calendar, the year 5782 of the Jewish calendar began, exactly on September 6th, and the end will occur on September 26th, 2022 .
How to explain the difference of exactly 240 years in the Jewish calendar ?
Trying to answer the question by / through / according to biblical events, I found three interesting and suggestive happenings of Jewish History within the Bible, which certainly Jews dismiss without an explanation, perhaps because of shame at facts that are a stain on the nation's history of Israel.
Trying to answer the question by / through / according to biblical events, I found three interesting and suggestive happenings of Israel's chatisements in Jewish History, within the Bible, as described below, each with its long period of time that certainly Jews discard without an explanation, perhaps because of shame of facts which are a stain on the history of the nation of Israel. (like their original fall; captivity; golden calf/idolatry/ rebellion against GOD)
1- The Jewish Calendar begins in Seth, not in Adam, so we have less 130 years here;
2- Jews do not consider their 40 years of wandering in the desert, from Egypt to the promised land;
3- They do not consider also their shameful 70 years of captivity in Babylon.
This explanation shows the why of the Jews calendar has an exact difference of 240 years as was above exposed. What other explanation could there be that would justify this difference of exactly 240 years?
I would like to know
