Boyd’s Bible Dictionary
:
The
Hebrew
year
was sacred and civil, with two beginnings
The sacred year began with the month
Abib
, April, the civil with the month
Tisri
, October. The
months
were lunar,
twelve
in number, with, of course, the necessary intercalary month
ve-adar
at the proper
time
, about every
three
years. As divided by
seasons
, the year was solar. There were two seasons,
summer
and
winter
(Psa. 74:17; Jer. 36:22; Amos 3:15; Zech. 14:8).
Concise Bible Dictionary
:
Under
the word
MONTHS
it has been stated that the Jews reckoned the months to consist alternately of twenty-nine and thirty days, being therefore in
twelve
months eleven and a quarter days short of the year. To remedy this an additional month was added about every
three
years. In the various data given for the last half of the last of
Daniel
's
Seventy Weeks
, it will be seen that all the months are reckoned as having thirty days; thus “a
time
,
times
, and a half “ in Daniel 12:7 and Revelation 12:14 point out three and a half years: this period is again called forty two months in Revelation 11:2 and Revelation 13:5; and again twelve hundred and sixty days (Rev. 11:3; Rev. 12:6). The prophetic year may therefore be called three hundred and sixty days. See MONTHS and
SEASONS
