Connecting the Zadokite Priestly Courses with the Menorah According to Equal Day and Night.
Updated: Sep 28
After a few years of watching the Qumran sundial and the difference between the shadow lines on the sundial and the straight-line shadow of the equinox I was led to start looking into exactly what Enoch 72:32 says about equal day and equal night. We all know that the equinox is not equal day and night but an imaginary line marking when the sun is on the equator and this happens three to four days after the equal day and night. Then I started matching the Zadokite Priestly calendar with sunrise and sunset times. What I found Is what I believe to be another proof of 2019 starting a new solar cycle that continues to line up with creation week. In 2019 the equinox was on the 4th day of the week along with a full moon on March 20th.
Equal day and equal night in 2019 was on the 1st day of the week on March 17th.
As in creation week!
Genesis 1:3-4 yah said let there be light: and there was light.
And Yah saw the light, that it was good: and Yah DIVIDE the light from the darkness.
On day one Yah separated the light and the darkness. I take this as a complete even separation as in equal day and equal night.
Genesis 1:14 And Yah said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heavens to divide the day from the night and let them be for signs and for seasons, and for days, and for years.
We see here on day four the sun, moon, and stars, were given their appointments for the calendar. This is why the Zadokite Priestly calendar always starts on the 4th day of the week.
When looking closely to the Priestly courses in the DSS we can find they were indeed following the creation week when describing a full moon on the 1st day of the year with Gamul serving in the 1st year as in creation week. 4Q319 frag.1 col.4
Enoch doesn't tell us what day of the week equal day and night is but Genesis does when Yah separates the light from the darkness on day one. then on day 4 when the sun, moon, and stars are given their appointments we can see from the witness in the sky every year that the 4th day after Equal Day and Night is Equinox Day.
When we line this up with the 6 years of Priestly courses, we can see this is the pattern the Zadokite Priests were following for 6 years straight. Then on the 7th year (the 1st year of the next set of 6 years) they would observe the Priestly consecration week and come right back in line with creation week of day 1 being Equal Day and Night and the 4th day being the Equinox. Always starting the New Year within the week that contains the Equal Day and Night and only coming back to the Equinox after the sixth year when a complete week is needed for the consecration of the Priests to serve the next 6 years.
Looking at the Jubilee timeline and comparing the time Enoch was in the Heavens being given the calendar we can see that the year Enoch is describing in chapter 72 is at the end of a year 2 and the start of year 3 of the Priestly Courses with the Equal Day and Night ending on the 364th day of that year.
Jubilees says in chapter 4:22 that Enoch was with the angels learning the rule of the sun during the12th jubilee in the 6th week placing chapter 72 at the end of year 3285 BC and starting year 3284 BC which is the end of a year 2 of the Priestly courses and starting a year 3 in the priestly courses. Year 2 on the Priestly Calendar ends on Equal Day and Night as the 364th day just like Enoch 72 says.
I have included years 2018 - 2025 calendars listing sunrise and sunset times for where I live. I checked and made sure I was on the same latitude as Jerusalem so equal day, and night are the same date for me as in Jerusalem. I have highlighted the sunrise and sunset times, equal day and night, equinox, and the time of the equinox. You will be able to see for yourselves how equinox is not equal day and night. Notice the time they list the equal day and night along with the equinox happening being aware of their use of midnight to start the day instead of dawn. This makes a big difference as to the true date the sundial or straight line marks the correct day according to the Zadokite Priestly calendar.
Before we found the complete 6 year straight Priestly courses in the DSS and discovered that no days were ever added within the 6 years we followed the Menorah Method by the Equinox. We discovered that this method did not line up with the DSS Priestly courses during those 6 years but found that they never went passed the equinox. Giving us the example of creation week and the new year starting on the 4th day of the week.
Now after putting the sunrise sunset times with the equal day and night we can see the Menorah was very much a part of the calendar. NOT by the Equinox but by the EQUAL DAY AND NIGHT with the New Year always staying within the creation week and never going passed the equinox of the weekly 4th day!
Notice year 2021 was just as Enoch 72 describes with the 364th day as equal day and equal night!
