The Jews reckoned their months according to the moon; and every third year they added a month, which they called VeAdar, in the same way as we add aday in every fourth or leap year. They began their civil year in the month of Turi, or September, according to which they computed and settled all temporal affairs. But after comin out of Egy t they began their ecclesiastical year in the month of Nisan, or March, from which they computed alftheir great kstivals. Their day was twofold: The naturnl, consisting of twenty-four hours, which commenced at sunset; and the nrtzpcial, beginning at sunrising and ending at sunset, which was divided into twelve equal parts or hours. See John II:9. Their night was divided into four parts or watches, each consisting of three hours. The first began at sunset. the second at nine o’clock; the third at midnight; the fourth at three in the morning, and continued until sunrise: These were sometimes otherwise expressed; vu., even, midnight. cock-crowing, and the dawn. See Mark 13:35. Their artificial day was divided into four equal parts. The first began at sunrise, and continued until nine o’clock; the second began at nine, and continued till noon; the third began at noon, and ended at three in the afternoon (which is sometimestermed the ninth hour); the fourth began at three, and continued till sunset,
