Understanding the Lunar Calendar Understanding the Lunar Calendar Understanding the Lunar calendar, to begin lets name all the months according to scriptures and research; 1. Abib (Deu 16:1) 1. Nisan (Neh 2:1) 7. Ethanim (1 Kings 8:2) 2. Zif. (1 Kings 6:1) 8. Bul (1 Kings 6:38) 3. Sivan (Esther 8:9) 9. Chisleu (Zechariah 7:1) 4. Fourth Month 10. Tebeth (Esther 2:16) 5. Ab (researched) 11. Sebat (Zechariah 1:7) 6. Elul (Neh 6:15) 12. Adar (Esther 3:7) Ten of these months are found in the Scriptures only two are not named. The 4TH and 5TH months. The fifth month we found through research to be Ab or Av. Also through research we also found a supposed name for the fourth month (Tammuz) but because this name depicts a Babylonian deity Tummuz or Dumuzi, We decided against the use of it. Beginning with the summer solstice came a time of mourning in the Ancient Near East; the Babylonians marked the decline in daylight hours and the onset of killing summer heat and drought, with a six-day "funeral" for the summer god of food and vegetation Tummuz. The prophet Ezekiel also spoke of this in the Scriptures. Ezekiel 8:12-14 KJV [12] Then said he unto me, Son of man, hast thou seen what the ancients of the house of Israel do in the dark, every man in the chambers of his imagery? For they say, The Lord seethe us not; the Lord hath forsaken the earth. [13] He said also unto me, Turn thee yet again, and thou shalt see greater abominations that they do. [14] Then he brought me to the door of the gate of the Lord's house which was toward the north; and, behold, there sat women weeping for Tammuz. Let's talk about the first month for there are two different names given to this month. Although the month Nisan is mentioned and also called the first month, this occurred hundreds of years after The Lord gave the commandment to use Abib. Since the Babylonian captivity, Nisan has been used by some. Essentially both names mean a growth of grain. (Nehemiah 2:1 KJV [1] And it came to pass in the month Nisan, in the twentieth year of Artaxerxes the king that wine was before him: and I took up the wine, and gave it unto the king. Now I had not been beforetime sat in his presence, Esther 3:7 KJV [7] In the first month, that is, the month Nisan, in the twelfth year of king Ahasuerus, they cast Pur, that is, the lot, before Haman from day to day, and from month to month. 1 We use the name Abib for the first month because of the commandment given to Moses by the Lord. Exodus 12:1-3 KJV and Deuteronomy 16:1 KJV. [1] Observe the month of Abib, and keep the Passover unto the Lord thy God: for in the month of Abib the Lord thy God brought thee forth out of Egypt by night. [1] And the Lord spake unto Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt, saying, [2] This month shall be unto you the beginning of months: it shall be the first month of the year to you. [3] Speak ye unto all the congregation of Israel, saying, in the tenth day of this month they shall take to them every man a lamb, according to the house of their fathers, a lamb for an house: Now we had discussed names of the months so now let's talk about the moon, in order to understand the calendar you must understand a little about the moon and its purpose according to the scriptures. Now what starts a new day, man uses 12 AM to start his new day but the Lord uses sundown or evening to start a new day. Genesis 1:5 KJV [5] And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day. This is important, in order to learn the proper sequence of count from one night to the next. The true purpose of the sun and moon; Genesis 1:14-16 KJV [14] And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years: [15] And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so. [16] And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also. It takes the Moon about 29 1/2 days to revolve around the earth. So a month or a moon can consist of 29 or 30 days depending on when the new moon appears. So when the new moon appears to start the new month we must give it 24 hours or one full day and it must begin at sundown. The new moon times vary depending on your location in the world. We use the Jerusalem time of the new moons to start the month, for the purpose of feasts days etc., which is the plan of God (Leviticus the 23 chapter) Here's an example of the new moon from the scriptures. 1 Samuel 20:24-25, 27 KJV [24] So David hid himself in the field: and when the new moon was come, the king sat him down to eat meat. [25] And the king sat upon his seat, as at other times, even upon a seat by the wall: and Jonathan arose, and Abner sat by Saul's side, and David's place was empty. [27] And it came to pass on the morrow, which was the second day of the month, that David's place was empty: and Saul said unto Jonathan his son, wherefore cometh not the son of Jesse to meat, neither yesterday, nor today? 2 Here is an illustration of the moon revolving around the earth and also the phases of the Moon you will notice in this illustration how the moon is completely dark. A new moon occurs once every month when the moon is lined up between the sun and the Earth. During a new moon, the moon is at its closest to the sun. At this time the night sky appears dark and moonless. No moon is seen because the light from the sun is blocked and the part of the moon that faces the Earth is dark. 3 The next illustration is of the calendar month March 2013; the month is set on Jerusalem Time. We will begin the year based on the new Moon and count the days leading to the Passover and unleavened bread. Now let's start with the new Moon which occurs on March 11, 2013 at 9:52pm Jerusalem time. Now because the sun has already set, we cannot begin to start the month until the following day which would be March 12 at sundown, because the New Moon has to have a complete day. The first night of the New Year Abib 1 begins at sundown March 12 the first day of Abib 1 begins March 13 at sunrise. Abib 2 begins March 13 at sundown Abib 2 daytime begins March 14 at sunrise. Based on this sequence is the pattern of counting days based on the sunset established .Lets continue the count to Passover night which comes in March 25 The 13th day of Abib at sundown, and Unleavened Bread, March 26th the 14thday of Abib at sundown.

  • The Aztecs Gave the Tribe the Name Olmec
    Mayan, Incan, and Aztec Civilizations: The Arrival of Man Alternate Version Download The Arrival of Man Crossing the Bering Strait Land Bridge Giant ice caps once covered both the Arctic and Antarc- tic regions of the earth. This was over 50,000 years ago. The levels of the oceans were lower than today. Much of the earth’s water was trapped in the polar ice caps. The lower water level showed a piece of land that connected Siberia to Alaska. To- day this area is once again under water. It is called the Bering Strait. Many scientists believe that early humans crossed over this land bridge. Then they began to spread out and settle in what is now North America. These people then moved into Central and South America. The Bering Strait land bridge was covered with water again when the ice caps thawed. This happened at the end of the Ice Age around 8,000 B.C. Today, we call the first people who settled in the West- ern Hemisphere Paleo-Indians. They are also called Paleo- Americans.

  • Calculating Percentages for Time Spent During Day, Week, Month
    Calculating Percentages of Time Spent on Job Responsibilities Instructions for calculating time spent during day, week, month and year This is designed to help you calculate percentages of time that you perform various duties/tasks. The figures in the following tables are based on a standard 40 hour work week, 174 hour work month, and 2088 hour work year. If a recurring duty is performed weekly and takes the same amount of time each week, the percentage of the job that this duty represents may be calculated by dividing the number of hours spent on the duty by 40. For example, a two-hour daily duty represents the following percentage of the job: 2 hours x 5 days/week = 10 total weekly hours 10 hours / 40 hours in the week = .25 = 25% of the job. If a duty is not performed every week, it might be more accurate to estimate the percentage by considering the amount of time spent on the duty each month. For example, a monthly report that takes 4 hours to complete represents the following percentage of the job: 4/174 = .023 = 2.3%. Some duties are performed only certain times of the year. For example, budget planning for the coming fiscal year may take a week and a half (60 hours) and is a major task, but this work is performed one time a year. To calculate the percentage for this type of duty, estimate the total number of hours spent during the year and divide by 2088. This budget planning represents the following percentage of the job: 60/2088 = .0287 = 2.87%.

  • The History of School and Summer Vacation
    Journal of Inquiry & Action in Education, 5(1), 2012 The History of School and Summer Vacation James Pedersen Seton Hall University For more than 100 years the public school system has been the foundation of our society. Millions of our nation’s citizens have moved through the primary, middle and secondary schools which, although they vary slightly from region to region, provided a shared experience and are a part of Americana. History tells us the reasons that school systems used only a 10 month calendar were due to agrarian needs, but in recent years this rationale does not seem as applicable. In light of global competition and America’s consistently poor international rankings, it would seem logical conclusion to extend the school year to increase instructional time. But the move to year-round schooling isn’t so easy, nor is it unanimously embraced by parents, community members, businesses or politicians.

  • 9 and 10 Month Assignment Options
    9 and 10 Month Assignment Options The University has established a variety of new employee class codes that offer a wider range of flexibility in position management and staffing decisions. Historically, the use of 9 and 10 month position assignments had been limited to faculty positions. We now have the option to utilize 9 or 10 month position assignments for administrative (AMP) and support staff (SP) positions as well. You have the option to establish a new 9 or 10 month position, or change a currently vacant 12 month position to either 9 or 10 months based on your operational needs. If you are considering changing a currently filled 12 month position to 9 or 10 months, unless the affected employee voluntarily accepts the change, the employee should be provided a formal notice advising that their 12 month position will become a 9 or 10 month assignment. In such cases, university’s practice is to provide the employee with a formal notice at least 30 days in advance of the change. For any such involuntary assignment changes, please contact Robin Kabat in the Human Resources Department at 7-3072 for guidance. In all cases, please keep in mind that in order to avoid a break in service that would disrupt an employee’s retirement system service or insurance benefits (See Benefit Impact Information), 9 or 10 month position assignments must follow an established university academic calendar. The traditional academic calendars change annually and may be found on the Provosts web site under the Faculty Appointment Calendar heading and are available for university-wide applicability.
