The Feasts of the LORD
Seven appointed times are written into Leviticus 23 — three in spring, one at the wheat harvest, three in the fall. The DAVAR engine computes their Gregorian dates for the coming cycle from the fixed Hebrew calendar, sets each beside its own words in Scripture, and labels honestly what it does and does not establish. No apps, no scripts; every date computed at C-speed.
These are the feasts of the LORD, even holy convocations, which ye shall proclaim in their seasons. — Leviticus 23:4
The Seven Appointed Times, Computed
Computed live by the DAVAR engine from the fixed (arithmetic) Hebrew calendar: the seven appointed feasts of Leviticus 23, with their Gregorian dates for the coming cycle. The present Hebrew year is 5786 — a common year of 354 days across 12 months.
This engine implements the rabbinic fixed calendar of Hillel II — the same arithmetic behind printed Jewish calendars — converting each feast to the Gregorian calendar by Rata Die day numbers. Observational reckonings (sighted new moon, aviv barley) can shift a date by a day or a whole month, and Firstfruits carries an ancient Pharisee/Sadducee dispute over “the morrow after the sabbath.” Each feast begins at sundown the previous evening. This is a teaching instrument — not prophecy proof and not date-setting. Scripture is the authority — see /apologetics.

Saturday, September 12, 2026 — in 76 da Counting the omer from Firstfruits to Pentecost, the engine reckons 50 days — “seven sabbaths shall be complete… even unto the morrow after the seventh sabbath shall ye number fifty days” (Leviticus 23:15 Verses are pulled verbatim from the King James Version. The pattern lines below are one historic interpretive tradition (the feasts as foreshadowings) — offered for study, not as proof or prediction. Pattern (interpretive): Long read as fulfilled at the Cross: “Christ our passover is sacrificed for us” (1 Cor 5:7). Pattern (interpretive): Read by many as the sinless body in the tomb — “the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth” (1 Cor 5:8). Pattern (interpretive): Tied by many to the Resurrection — “Christ the firstfruits of them that slept” (1 Cor 15:20). Pattern (interpretive): Associated with the Law given at Sinai and, in Acts 2, the outpouring of the Spirit. Pattern (interpretive): Often linked to a future gathering “at the last trump” (1 Cor 15:52) — an interpretation, not a date. Pattern (interpretive): Read in Hebrews as fulfilled by the High Priest who entered “once into the holy place” (Heb 9:12). Pattern (interpretive): Looked to by many as God dwelling with His people — “the tabernacle of God is with men” (Rev 21:3).

Computed inside davar_http from the fixed (arithmetic) Hebrew calendar of Hillel II — the same reckoning behind printed Jewish calendars — and converted to the Gregorian calendar by Rata Die day numbers (Dershowitz & Reingold). Observational calendars (sighted new moon, aviv barley, Karaite) can shift a date by a day or a whole month, and Firstfruits carries the ancient dispute over "the morrow after the sabbath." Feast days begin at sundown the previous evening. This is a teaching instrument — not prophecy proof and not date-setting — and Scripture, not the calendar, is the authority. First the engine fixes Rosh Hashanah: it computes the molad (the mean conjunction of the new moon) for the year, adds the four classical postponement rules (the dehiyyot) that keep the Day of Atonement and the seventh-day Sabbath from colliding, and lands on the first of Tishri. From that anchor it walks the month lengths of the lunisolar year — which runs 353 to 385 days, with a thirteenth month (Adar II) added seven times in nineteen years — to place every feast, then converts each to the Gregorian calendar through Rata Die day numbers. The spring feasts and Pentecost are reckoned from Nisan; Pentecost is found by counting the omer, fifty days from Firstfruits. The fall feasts open the seventh month. Everything is plain C running on the server; the page you are reading is the rendered result, with no client JavaScript. Because observational calendars differ, treat the dates as the rabbinic fixed-calendar reckoning, not the only possible one. This engine computes a calendar; it does not set dates for prophecy: The Chronology Atlas — Creation to the Nativity, computed. The Star of Bethlehem — the night sky over the Nativity. Apologetics — the case for Scripture, five domains. Search the Bible — every KJV verse.
