How to find Pentecost time with the use of the Qumran Calendar

Please note that the timing of the PENTECOST changed significantly since the temple destruction in 70 AD, but the "orders" remain the same.  Meaning, the "Farmer's Almanac" rules remain.


First Calculate the time of the Passover and First-Fruits

Cycle 1: Omer count begins --> 19 Days after the first full moon following the Spring Equinox; The first, first day of the week following the New Moon after the first full moon after the Spring Equinox. (Note: the First New Moon after the First Full Moon following the Spring Equinox is the Passover time)

Cycle 2: Omer count begins --> The first, first day of the week following the first Full Moon after the Spring Equinox (Note: the first Full Moon after the Spring Equinox is the Passover time)

Cycle 3: Omer count begins -->The first, first day of the week following a 7-day week following the first Full Moon after the Spring Equinox (Note: the first Full Moon after the Spring Equinox is the time the Lamb Was Taken which is the 6th day of the week on the 10th of Abib which takes place prior to the Passover on the 14th of Abib which is on the 3rd day of the week)


These are PERMANENT identifiers for each CYCLE.

What about LEAP YEARS when an additional WEEK is added?  Calculate according to the LEAP YEAR cycle.


Now calculate the time of SHAVUOT PENTECOST:

Feast of Weeks is ALWAYS before the Summer Solstice.  Feast of Weeks is ALWAYS on the 8th of Sivan on the First Day of the week.

Cycle 1: Feast of Weeks is ALWAYS exactly 3 weeks (21 days) prior to the Final Full Moon before the Summer Solstice.  It can also be calculated exactly 1 week after the second to Final Full Moon before the Summer Solstice.

Cycle 2: The First Day of the Week following the New Moon that takes place prior to the Final Full Moon before the Summer Solstice.

Cycle 3: The First Day of the Week and/or one day prior to the Final Full Moon before the Summer Solstice.


****Leap Year Check****

364*28 = 10,192

364*7 = 2,548

356.25*28 = 10,227 (35 days)

365.25*7 = 2556.75 (8.75 days)

---->Every 7 years add 7 days at the year before Calendar Cycle Begins

---->Every 28 years add 7 days to the end of the Calendar Cycle


Calculate every 28 years since 31 AD.....  To get a "general idea" of when the LEAP-YEARS would occur:


Or look at things like this, every 56 years, the VENUS-LUNAR-ASTRONOMICAL POSITION Calendar aligns itself in such a way that the 24-year cycle fits 2 and 1/3 into the 56 year cycle.  Basically, it is impossible to be "many days off track" when things align correctly.
