Jan van Riebeeck[edit]

What did Jan van Riebeeck do 1652-04-06 and what 1652-04-07?

This is according to the Jan van Riebeeck article here on Wikipedia. As far as April 6, 1652: "In 1651 he was requested to undertake the command of the initial Dutch settlement in the future South Africa. He landed three ships (Drommedaris, Reijger, and Goede Hoop) at the future Cape Town on 6 April 1652 and fortified the site as a way-station for the VOC trade route between the Netherlands and the East Indies. The Walvisch and the Oliphant arrived later, having had 130 burials at sea." As far as April 7, 1652: "Van Riebeeck was Commander of the Cape from 1652 to 1662." He served as the 1st Commander of the Cape. His term in office began on 7 April 1652 and ended on 6 May 1662. Thanks. (Joseph A. Spadaro (talk) 00:04, 10 April 2011 (UTC))[reply]

Why is possible death date of Jesus Christ listed on April 7?[edit]

The source clearly states that the possible date of crucifixion is on April 3rd. I am just confused as to why it is listed on this day and not the 3rd. Colin J. Humphreys and W. G. Waddington, "Dating the Crucifixion ," Nature 306 (December 22/29, 1983), pp. 743-46, states that the date has been identified as April 3rd. Dylanthescientist (talk) 11:15, 10 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
