A lot of insights but I'm a bit confuzzled by the bit "... It was set up on the 15th day of the 9th month of Chisleu which in the year 2020, corresponded to December 14, 2020".

When I shove 15 Chislev/Kislev into online "Hebrew Date Converters", I seem to get December 1, 2020 🤷‍♂️.

Yes, that's the Jew(ish) Hebrew calendar which is (purposely) not in accordance with the biblical calendar. In 2020, the biblical year began on April 7, 2020, and the 9th month of Chisleu began on the evening of November 30, 2020.

Time in the Bible is completely different: days begin in the evening, months are from moon to moon, and years are from Spring to Spring.

Wow, thanks!

I tried to verify this using the search engine but it was all too much for me. Maybe if there is time one day you can do it (in an article or here) using some links please? 🙂

You can only verify the Bible with the Bible because God's Word is the final authority. The definition of days, months, and years are established in Genesis, Exodus, Sirach, and other books.
