Chronology Of Jubilees (7329 words)
If the current year (44-43 BCE) did correspond to the cited 2nd year of the land-use agreement then it might be possible to interpret this passage to mean that the respective year did correspond to a 7th year (as celebrated by the Jews).
Assuming that a jubilee-year was celebrated in 121 BCE, then each 7-year-cycle of the two calendar systems (solar and lunar) would have continued to overlap together (between autumn and spring) for the distance of another 49-years.
It is here of special interest that both the jubilee-year of 571-570 BCE (the time of Ezekiel's vision) and the jubilee-year of 30-31 CE (the time after the crucifixion) may have occurred in alignment with a revolution of this respective long-time-cycle (of 600-years).
