Biblical Appointed Times — 2026
The dates below, as well as the work-rest guidance, are drawn from the Torah passages cited and calculated using Jerusalem as the reference location, with the New Moon determined at approximately 0% illumination. Times shown are for Jerusalem, Israel; follow your own local sunset times accordingly. We recognize that some groups interpret the New Moon as beginning when the first visible crescent reaches approximately 1–2% illumination. This calendar does not use that approach, because we understand it to rely on a later interpretive tradition rather than an explicit biblical instruction.
Jerusalem remains the reference location used to establish the biblical calendar. If you choose “Use My Location,” your browser will request location permission and use your coordinates only on this device to calculate the actual local sunset for each listed date. The plugin does not store your coordinates or send them to the WordPress database. Local observance times are an adjustment for your location and do not change the Jerusalem-based calendar dates. Because the biblical day begins at sundown, visitors should follow the local sunset shown for where they are physically located.
Beginning of Each Biblical Month
Each entry marks Day 1 using this calendar’s Jerusalem conjunction rule: a conjunction during the night begins Day 1 with that same night; a conjunction during daylight begins Day 1 at the following sundown. Month 1 is identified as Aviv/Abib (Deuteronomy 16:1). The Torah gives a work restriction for Day 1 of Month 7; it does not state a general work prohibition for every beginning of a month.

Biblical basis and calculation notes
Month 1: Exodus 12:2 establishes the first month, and Deuteronomy 16:1 commands Israel to observe the month of Aviv/Abib. Scripture does not explicitly state an equinox formula or a lunar-illumination percentage. This calendar therefore identifies the spring equinox and Jerusalem conjunction as the astronomical calculation method used to apply those biblical instructions.
Day boundary: Leviticus 23:32 explicitly gives an evening-to-evening boundary for the Day of Atonement. This calendar uses the same sundown-to-sundown convention when presenting biblical days. For each lunar reference, if conjunction occurs during the Jerusalem night, that night begins Day 1; if conjunction occurs during daylight, Day 1 begins at the following sundown.
Firstfruits and Shavuot: Leviticus 23:11, 15–16 places the wave sheaf on the day after the Sabbath and then commands a count of seven complete Sabbaths / fifty days. This calendar uses the weekly Sabbath occurring during Unleavened Bread, placing Firstfruits on the first day of the week after that Sabbath and Shavuot on the fiftieth day. This is identified as an interpretive choice because other readings exist.
Work restrictions: Unleavened Bread Days 1 and 7, Shavuot, Month 7 Day 1, Sukkot Day 1, and the Eighth-Day Assembly prohibit servile/customary work. The Day of Atonement is stricter: Leviticus 23:28 commands that no work be done. Passover on Day 14 and the wave-sheaf day do not contain an express feast-day work prohibition in Leviticus 23. Sukkot Day 7 is likewise not identified there as a no-work day; the prohibitions apply to Day 1 and Day 8.
Work scheduling: The “day to request off” is the daytime civil date contained within the sundown-to-sundown biblical day. Anyone whose work shift extends past sundown on the preceding civil date should also arrange to be off for that portion of the previous evening.
