 Dates were determined using  RedShift 3 software. See chapter 17 for details. Start of the Jewish month in

dates presented in this book is by calculation, not by the observation based system. See chapter 17 for details

on this point.

 The order of the months is: AdarI, AdarII, Nisan, Iyar, Sivan, Tammuz, Av, Elul, Tishri, Heshvan, Kislev.

From AdarI 28 to AdarII 28 is one lunar month, from AdarI 28 to Heshvan 28 is nine lunar months, and

adding one weeks brings us to the beginning of the month of Kislev.

 Why would the Jewish priests give Joseph a dry dead branch that they could not have expected to open?

Perhaps because he was much older than the other candidates; they were comparing him to a dry old branch.
