 An example of this is found in Finegan, Handbook of Biblical Chronology, revised edition, no. 165, p. 78. He 

quotes from commentary by Rabbi Avadyah on the Mishna:  Like a man whose son is born on passover. He 

has fulfilled his first year of life on passover of the next year.  Finegan interprets this quote to mean that each 

year of a person's life is counted as the completion of 12 full months of the Jewish calendar (or 13 in a leap 

year) since the day of their birth. However, I suggest that the choice of the Passover to illustrate the counting 

of a person's age was not arbitrary. Thus, a man whose son is born on any day of the year would count his 

son's first year as being completed on the very next Passover. In this way, the number of Passovers since birth 

would be the count of a person's age.

not realize that, in visions given to her by God, the count of the ages of Jesus and Mary was from conception, 

rather than from birth. This error led to some incongruities in her chronological statements, which are, I think, 

mostly corrected in this book.

 Even though the average life span for a man at that time in history was considerably less than 75 years, it 

was not so unusual for someone to live into their seventies. For example, the Roman emperor Augustus 

Caesar lived to be about 77 years old, according to the ancient Jewish Roman historian Josephus:  The 

Antiquities of the Jews, 18.32.

 Note that the disciples of Jesus began baptizing, at His direction, in wintertime, after Christ's Baptism, after 

the 40 days in the desert, but before the feast of Purim (Adar 14, 15; late winter). However, when baptism was 

given by the disciples of Jesus, the water was poured over the person's head; they were not immersed in the
