What happens about/with the 5+ extra days in the ?siderial? or orbital year???

Otherwise, seems to make enough sense to me. Will try to get to the thread this afternoon.

THX.

i'll have to get back to the library to be more specific, but i think that every 6th year, one month was added to the year. (couldve been every 5th year, im not sure). but, the years themselves stayed "in sequence", after the addition, so that there was no long-term degradation of time, season, etc....you know, "christmas in july" stuff.

oh! and yes, that was a great question....what i've come to expect, and it encourages me in this study.....that brain cells are actually being recruited!

i also ran across another way to calculate the months & years....not that the plain example from genesis wasnt enough, but it helps to see confirmation, for a "more sure" understanding....it takes somewhat more work, connecting the dots, etc....but i think a sequential analysis of jewish months & festivals bears it out as well. i just havent done it that way....LUB
