the Jewish calendar does account for the time the Israelites spent in Egypt, but the specific calculation of years is based on the genealogies and chronological details from the Torah and other parts of the Hebrew Bible. The time in Egypt is considered part of the overall chronology of the world, leading to the current Jewish year (5785).
Do you drink water during your 5 day fast or nothing at all? I may be on board with you. Thanks for the invitation.
Isn’t it true the Jews don’t count their years of captivity in Egypt? So actual correct year is closer to year 6000
