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
