Samaritan to Hebrew Date Converter

Enter a date in the Samaritan calendar and the tool returns the equivalent date in the Hebrew calendar using the standard relationship between the two systems.

1. 1

   Step 1

   Enter the complete Samaritan date — day, month, and year.

2. 2

   Step 2

   We anchor each system's epoch, then convert day by day — Samaritan: a 13th leap month lands 7 times in each 19-year cycle; Hebrew: the Hebrew year number = 2026 + 3761 = 5787.

3. 3

   Step 3

   Read the exact Hebrew date: a year spanning 353–385 days, counted month by month.

• 1

  Samaritan and Hebrew dates do not map one-to-one — the two systems start from different epochs and count leap years differently, so enter the full Samaritan date and read the Hebrew equivalent instead of shifting the year by a fixed offset.

• 2

  For deadlines tied to authorities or contracts, confirm which calendar the deadline officially uses before converting it here — a Samaritan–Hebrew date read in the wrong system can be off by days or even a full year.

• 3

  Watch century boundaries and very old dates in the Samaritan–Hebrew system: historical calendars dropped or added days when they were adopted, which is invisible in daily use but material for long-range historical calculations here.

• Reversing the direction is a silent trap: converting from the Hebrew calendar back to the Samaritan calendar needs the inverse relation, and off-by-one errors cluster at month boundaries where the systems disagree. Verify the round trip returns your original date.

• Epoch offsets are pair-specific: day zero of Samaritan and of Hebrew are different dates, and constants borrowed from another calendar pair are silently wrong by days or years. Use the Samaritan → Hebrew relation itself, not a remembered number.
