Why is Jewish year 5,000+---what is the year 1 of Jewish calendar, was it based on some event?

Answer 1

The Jewish year is 5767, and the counting began with the creation of the world.

Answer 2

"The year number on the Jewish calendar represents the number of years since creation, calculated by adding up the ages of people in the Bible back to the time of creation. However, this does not necessarily mean that the universe has existed for only 5700 years as we understand years. Many Orthodox Jews will readily acknowledge that the first six "days" of creation are not necessarily 24-hour days (indeed, a 24-hour day would be meaningless until the creation of the sun on the fourth "day"). For a fascinating (albeit somewhat defensive) article by a nuclear physicist showing how Einstein's Theory of Relativity sheds light on the correspondence between the Torah's age of the universe and the age ascertained by science, see The Age of the Universe.

Jews do not generally use the words "A.D." and "B.C." to refer to the years on the Gregorian calendar. "A.D." means "the year of our L-rd," and we do not believe Jesus is the L-rd. Instead, we use the abbreviations C.E. (Common or Christian Era) and B.C.E. (Before the Common Era), which are commonly used by scholars today.
"

as the page says... it is not generally seen as a literal counting of years as we know them, even though it does advance in real years now.

as in the second link... it is currently 5767 in the Jewish calendar.

Answer 3

Where do you find that this it is 5,000 for Jewish calender, I want to know what you learn from this, so thanks for asking it.

I love the bible math and this is true and correct new moon to new moon is time.

>930 years Adam died. Gen.5:5; Lamech Noah's dad age 56 + 126 to Noah.
>126 years Noah born, after Adam died. Gen.5:28 Lamech is age 182.
>600 years is age of Noah Gen.7:6; in the flood year. Methusaleh 969 died flood year.
>350 years after the flood Noah dies. Gen.9:28.29 [ 350 years after flood, Shem 502;
>077 years Abraham, after Noah dies, has Promised Land Covenant 427 after flood.
>430 years Moses age 80, with 1/2 mil. heirs exit Egypt. Exo.7:7; 12:40.41 [ 430 ];
>040 years Moses dies at age 120 years. Deut.34:7; Josh.5:6,10,12;
>480 years Solomon begans temple 1Ki6:1 [ 480 ]; 4 years as king.
>007 years has temple done 1Ki.6:38; 11 years as king,
>029 years Solomon dies at age 69,1Ki.11:42; 40 years. 997 BCE
>391 years Jerusalem of Judah Kings END. 2Chr.36:20-23; 606 BCE
>070 years after Kings end. Jer.25:12; Ezra 1:1 Is Cyrus 536 BCE
>200 years Greece rules as foretold by Daniel 8:21; 336 BCE
>172 years Maccabees 164 years in Temple. 164 BCE
>164 years Jesus is a child in the Roman Empire.

This gives to Jesus 4066 [ age 2 ], and that at 2006 years ago, is 6,072 from Eden.

Answer 4

side note the year 5767 relates not to the Creation of the Earth but rather to the start off Adam.

the six "days" before hand are not counted due to the fact we do not know how long they were.
