Descrição:

Herod the Great and Jesus Chronological, Historical and Archaeological Evidence by Gerard Gertoux

The starting point of the 490 years is set: from the going forth of the word to restore and rebuild Jerusalem. This order to restore and rebuild Jerusalem was given by Artaxerxes I in the month of Nisan in the 20th year of his reign (Ne 2:1,5,8) in April 455 BCE. As Nehemiah said that the city wall was completed in 52 days on 25 Elul (22 September), he therefore made to hear this “word to restore and rebuild Jerusalem” on 3 Ab (2 August) to the Jewish deputy rulers who returned to the city (Ne 2:16-18).

Nehemiah 2
1 In the month of Nisan, in the twentieth year of King Artaxerxes, when wine was before him, I took up the wine and gave it to the king. Now I had not been sad in his presence.

5 And I said to the king, “If it pleases the king, and if your servant has found favor in your sight, that you send me to Judah, to the city of my fathers' graves, that I may rebuild it.”

8 and a letter to Asaph, the keeper of the king's forest, that he may give me timber to make beams for the gates of the fortress of the temple, and for the wall of the city, and for the house that I shall occupy.” And the king granted me what I asked, for the good hand of my God was upon me.
