King James Bible - What month is Nisan?

According to the link below it is March to April. I only read the KJV, but I cannot recall from my own memory, if that is correct. Nisan is the first month in the Hebrew calendar, and happens around the month of March in the Gregorian calendar.


What is the difference between the Hebrew and the Catholic Old Testament?

The Hebrew Old Testament is written in Hebrew. The original Catholic Old Testament was translated from the Greek Septuagint (a Greek translation of the Hebrew Scripture made in the 3rd century B.C.) to Latin, and together with the Latin New Testament was called the Vulgate. Today the Catholic Old Testament is still in Latin, but there are venacular translations available everywhere.

What is the difference between the Hebrew Bible and the king James Bible?

The Hebrew Bible is another name for what Christians often call the "Old Testament." Jews do not tend to call their bible the "Old Testament", since this name implies that their bible is "old" or that it was replaced by the New Testament. Jewish people do respect the Christian scriptures but do not regard the New Testament as sacred to Judaism, so a Bible for Jews would only contains the Old Testament. Since they do not have any other Testaments, many Jews call their scriptures the Hebrew Bible or the Tanakh (the Hebrew abbreviation for these scriptures).As for the King James Bible, it is a popular Christian translation, from the Protestant tradition-- it contains both the Old Testament and the New Testament. You will note that the King James translation of the Old Testament puts the books in a different order from how the Hebrew Bible has them, and some older versions of King James translate certain verses somewhat differently, in an effort to "prove" that Jesus was predicted in the Hebrew scriptures (Jews do not believe he was). But in general, the main difference is the King James Bible contains both the Hebrew Scriptures and the New Testament, while a Hebrew Bible contains the approved Jewish scriptures only, usually translated from the Hebrew by the Jewish Publication Society or another authorized Jewish organization.

What is the difference between the Jewish calendar and the Gregorian calendar?

The Jewish calendar is based on both the moon and the sun. A month can have 29 or 30 days (to start each month with a new moon), and there can be 12 or 13 months to a year. In every 19 years, 12 of the 19 years have 12 months, while seven have 13 months, thus keeping in line with the solar calendar and making every 19 years on a Jewish calendar exactly equal to 19 years on the Gregorian calendar.

The answer is 3-10 December 1274 (without adjusting for the Gregorian change in 1752).


What calendar is used today?

The most common calendar used internationally today is the Gregorian calendar, which is Pope Gregory XIII's 1582 reform of the Julian calendar. Some non-Christian countries use the Gregorian calendar for civil and/or international purposes and another calendar for religious/ internal use. This is because (a) the Gregorian calendar is considered a Christian calendar, since the numbering of its years is based on the wrongly calculated year of the birth of Jesus, and (b) many festivals are based on the phases of the moon, and the Gregorian is neither a lunar calendar, like the Islamic Hijra, nor a lunisolar calendar, like the Hebrew Luach.
