Corresponding these set of numbers to dates in javascript

Question

I have a set of numbers that correspond to the following dates in javascript.

1499040000 -> 07/03/17
1498780800 -> 06/30/17
1498694400 -> 06/29/17
1498608000 -> 06/28/17

I am trying to figure out what kind of javascript function can correspond the number to the date.

That number is an Unix Epoch Time:

It is the number of seconds that have elapsed since 00:00:00 Thursday, 1 January 1970,[2] Coordinated Universal Time (UTC), minus leap seconds.

To convert it, you can use the first and accepted answer from this question

Hi, if you think it is duplicate, please vote to close. – adiga Aug 03 '19 at 13:47
Actually not duplicate, since op doesn't know what is an Unix timestamp. – Elias Soares Aug 03 '19 at 13:48
Did you actually vote to reopen? – adiga Aug 03 '19 at 13:50
Yes @adiga, I think that the questions you marked as duplicated doesn't explain what is an Unix timestamp, only how to convert it to a date, so it's an incomplete answer and different question. – Elias Soares Aug 03 '19 at 14:08
