In 2 Chronicles 29:17 They started cleansing the temple in the 1st month.
On the 8th day of the 1st month, they started sanctifying the House of Yah.
On the 16th day of the month, they finished.
Verse 18 Then they went to King Hezekiah saying they had completed all the cleansing of the house of Yah.
Verse 20 Then Hezekiah arose early gathered all the princes of the city and went to the house of Yah.
Verse 24 Hezekiah commands the sin offerings and burnt offerings.
Verse 31 says they were now consecrated to Yahweh.
DSS 4Q230 Fr.11 page 351, by Geza Vermes, says "On the 3rd day in the week of Mazziah is Passover" this is in a year one. Mazziah is #24
DSS 4Q325 Fr.1 page 361, by Geza Vermes, says "On the 25th day in the 1st month is the Sabbath of Jedaiah #2"
This puts Yehoiarib's Sabbath on the 18th of the 1st month in the 1st year and fits with 2 Chronicles 29:35 when Hezekiah sets up the service of the House of Yahweh after it is cleansed and dedicated to the service of Yahweh.Historical account in 2 Chronicles 29 lines up with the DSS Priestly Courses with Yehoiarib, priestly order #1, Sabbath of the 18th of the 1st month ready to serve his 1st week on the 1st day of the week on the 19th day of the month.
We see this same timeline at Passover with our last High priest, Messiah, rising on the 18th and starting new as the last High Priest on the 19th of the 1st month.
Please see year one, the 1st month in the 6-year calendars with the DSS notes on this website for more details.
