La chronologie et 607 av. n. è. · Claim record

L’organisation reconnaît par écrit qu’il existe des tablettes commerciales datées pour chacune des années traditionnellement attribuées aux rois néo-babyloniens, et qu’en additionnant ces règnes en remontant à partir de Nabonide on obtient 587 av. n. è. pour la destruction de Jérusalem. Sa réponse est qu’un roi dont le règne n’aurait pas été consigné aurait pu s’intercaler entre deux d’entre eux.

The Watchtower, “When Was Ancient Jerusalem Destroyed?-Part Two, footnote e”

1 novembre 2011 · p.24 · footnote e · Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society of Pennsylvania

“Business tablets exist for all the years traditionally attributed to the Neo-Babylonian kings. When the years that these kings ruled are totaled and a calculation is made back from the last Neo-Babylonian king, Nabonidus, the date reached for the destruction of Jerusalem is 587 B.C.E. However, this method of dating works only if each king followed the other in the same year, without any breaks in between.”

A footnote in which the organisation concedes that the dated business tablets cover every year of the Neo-Babylonian period and, added up, give 587 BCE. Its answer is that an unrecorded king might have reigned between two of them.

Note de provenance et de vérification

Note sur la fiabilité. Read in the Watchtower Online Library text of the article on 19 September 2026 in the [Footnotes] section. The Online Library prints all footnotes together at the end of the article, so the page is taken from the position of the footnote’s reference marker in the body: the marker for note e falls between the page markers for pages 24 and 25.

The Watchtower, “When Was Ancient Jerusalem Destroyed?-Part Two”

1 novembre 2011 · pp.22-28 · Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society of Pennsylvania

“Clearly, much of the astronomical data in VAT 4956 fits the year 588 B.C.E. as the 37th year of Nebuchadnezzar II. This, therefore, supports the date of 607 B.C.E. for Jerusalem's destruction-just as the Bible indicates.”

The organisation's positive case from the cuneiform record. It argues that the Babylonian chronicles are incomplete, that business tablets show discrepancies at reign transitions, and that thirteen sets of lunar positions on VAT 4956 match 588/587 BCE.

Notes. Note 21, the authority for the claim that the lunar position in line 3 matches Nisanu 9 of 588 BCE, is present in the Online Library text and reads: “VAT 4956 reads on line three: ‘The moon stood 1 cubit [or 2 degrees] in front of ß Virginis.’ The previously mentioned analysis concluded that on Nisanu 9, the moon was 2°04ʹ in front of and 0° below the star ß Virginis. It was considered an exact match.” It names no external authority: “the previously mentioned analysis” is the organisation’s own, described in note 19 as having been made with the software TheSky6, the freeware Cartes du Ciel / Sky Charts and a US Naval Observatory date converter. No astronomer, publication or independent calculation is cited for it.
