The opening alignment
This register begins with the Tishri–Adar half of Creation year 2446, Israel’s final months in Egypt. Nisan year 0 begins on the second line with Passover and the Exodus. Nisan year 0 continues across Tishri 2447, and Nisan year 1 begins at the following Nisan boundary.
Why there are two rows for each Creation year
A single annual row hides the fact that the calendars turn six months apart. The paired rows show exactly which Nisan count is active on either side of Nisan without altering the established annual timelines.
The three confirming counts
At the Exodus, 429 years of the 430-year count, 399 years of the 400-year count, and 209 years in Egypt have been completed. Israel therefore departs during the 430th, 400th, and 210th years.
