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

1488: Beginning of the Jubilee cycle, according to the Leviticus text, which stipulates: When you eventually come into the land that I am giving you, then the land must observe a sabbath (Leviticus 25:2). The Israelites were given the land by Joshua after a 5-year conquest (Jos 11:23; 14:7,10). Scholars noticed that the biblical Jubilee is associated to a process: "God brings out to give something." God brought the Israelites out of Egypt to give them a land, in the same manner that He brought Abraham out of Ur to give him an heir (Isaac) who was to take possession of the gate of his enemies (Gn 22:17). The births of Abraham in 2038 and Isaac in 1938 resemble Jubilee events.

DATING THE BIBLICAL CHRONOLOGY by Gerard Gertoux

The 50-year Jubilee system did not begin in the first year after entering Canaan, but only in Caleb's 85th year, because Israelites were given the land only after the pacification period (Joshua 1:15). It would have been impossible to cultivate the land and then to observe Jubilee prescriptions during the conquest war. The conquest was quick, and Israelites (circa –1490) only burnt three cities: Jericho, Ai and Hazor (Joshua 6:1,24, 8:19, 11:11-13). Confirming exactly the biblical account, the archaeology dates108 the destruction of these three cities to the 15th century B.C.E. The first year of the 50-year Jubilee period starts in Nisan but is only celebrated on 10th Tishri of the same year (Leviticus 25:9-10).
