[QUOTE="actionjdjackson, post: 1652269, member: 348814"] Something is odd with Hebrew months when using NSCalendar - I type the following code: [CODE]let hebrewCalendar = NSCalendar(calendarIdentifier: NSCalendarIdentifierHebrew) let birthOfJesusDateComponents = NSDateComponents() birthOfJesusDateComponents.year = 3755 //either 5 or 6 B.C. is possible year of His birth, I chose 6 birthOfJesusDateComponents.month = 7 //this is where the problem arises - 15 Tishri (7th month) is His most likely birthday birthOfJesusDateComponents.day = 15 birthOfJesusDateComponents.hour = 21 //just a guess - sometime at night birthOfJesusDateComponents.minute = 0 birthOfJesusDateComponents.second = 0 birthOfJesus = hebrewCalendar!.dateFromComponents(birthOfJesusDateComponents)![/CODE] Then, elsewhere, I type: [CODE]let hebrew = NSCalendar(calendarIdentifier: NSCalendarIdentifierHebrew) let formatter = NSDateFormatter() formatter.calendar = hebrew formatter.dateStyle = .FullStyle formatter.timeStyle = .MediumStyle println(formatter.stringFromDate(birthOfJesus))[/CODE] And I get as an output: [B]Friday, 15 Adar 3755 at 21:00:00[/B] But here's the catch, [B]Adar[/B] is NOT the [B]7th[/B] month of the Hebrew calendar, [B]Tishri[/B] is. At least in the ancient Hebrew calendar. Does the modern Hebrew calendar have a different month order? I'm an amateur Biblical scholar not a modern-day speaker so I don't know the answer to this.
