There was in the days of Herod, the king of Judaea, a certain priest named
Zacharias, of the course of Abia: and his wife was of the daughters of Aaron,
and her name was Elisabeth.
Luke 1:5
The division of priest were on duty in the temple-the Abia or Abijah as they were called. They had their rotation in the work, according to Jewish sources, in the 3rd month (Sivan) of the Hebrew calendar.
And it came to pass, that while he executed the priest's office before God in the order of his course, According to the custom of the priest's office, his lot was to burn incense when he went into the temple of the Lord.
Luke 1:8,9
Elizabeth concieved John the Baptist........& hid for 5 months...in the 6th month, Mary would have been with child. This would be around the month of Kisev.
And after those days his wife Elisabeth conceived, and hid herself five months, ... And in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God unto a city of Galilee, named Nazareth, To a virgin espoused to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgin's name was Mary.
Luke 1:24,26,27
So jump ahead about 9 months from Kisev and you end up around Elul.
Our August-September time frame.
Luke 2:7
