In Genesis 8:2222While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease. (Genesis 8:22), we read of six seasons: — Seed-time and harvest; cold and heat; summer and winter; which fell nearly as follows, not forgetting that the correspondence of the months with the seasons gradually got wrong till the VeAdar was added, as stated on page 28. Each season began about the middle of the month; thus harvest began in the middle of Abib, and reached to the middle of Sivan.
