OBSERVATIONAL HEBREW YEAR of MOSES by OP Armstrong July OBSERVATIONAL HEBREW YEAR OF MOSES by O.P. Armstrong July - 2016 Equinox (interval 365.2422 days) by Solar Alignment Observation God, through Moses, ordained the first month of the Jewish calendar year to start in spring. Many writers consider the date of this first month start as a great mystery. The Hebrew word for 'month' and 'new moon' are interchangeable and translated by context. Each new moon was to be celebrated by trumpets; Nu10:10, Ps81:3, 2Ch2:4. This was practiced from Moses, at least thru the time of Paul's epistles, Col2:16. The ancient means to select when the 1st month of each new year started has been avidly discussed by many writers. This month shall be unto you the beginning of months: it shall be the first month of the year to you.... keep this ordinance in ITS SEASON from year to year, Ex12:2,13:10 . And Moses was learned in ALL the wisdom of the Egyptians... Acts 7:22 Indeed it is a mystery, if the ancient‟s time keeping method of simple alignment is not understood. Much ink has been used talking of the Barley harvest. 1 OBSERVATIONAL HEBREW YEAR OF MOSES by O.P. Armstrong July - 2016 But finding the first solar month could be accomplished from the Temple Mount by watching where the sunrise happened in east upon Mount Olivet. This is illustrated in the prior picture. Another method is to use a gnomon or obelisk. This was widely employed by the Egyptian culture to find time, direction and seasons. The method is Use a BAY illustrated by the attached pictures. To improve During desert travels, after the shadow Exodus, the tabernacle was to be erected with principle ordinates. definition The ordinates were easily obtained by use of a gnomon, that could also serve to mark the spring equinox. “for the south side.... And for the second side of the Second is in keeping Church tabernacle on the north side Calendar. For that calendar is there shall be twenty set by Easter and it shall be the boards.. tabernacle, 1st Sunday following the 1st Full westward..” Ex26:18-27. For Moon after the Spring or Vernal the Christian era, this Equinox of each year. importance is two fold. First is to know that a bible year is a solar year. 2 OBSERVATIONAL HEBREW YEAR OF MOSES by O.P. Armstrong July - 2016 Great The Egyptian culture (of Moses time) used such methods as illustrated by the Pyramid alignments on principle ordinates. Many other ancient cultures also used monument markers to mark the four seasons, spring, summer, autumn, and winter. North The Mosaic holidays revolved around spring and autumn. Three main holidays were given by Moses. First was Passover, with main dates on 10th and 14th day of first month. Next Khufu was Pentecost, Lev23:16, Count fifty days to the day after the seventh Sabbath; then you shall offer.... The last as: „In Sphinx the seventh month, on the first day of the month, you shall have a Sabbath-rest, a memorial of blowing of trumpets... EAST Lev23:24. Marking years were mandated by the Sabbath or 7th year and Jubilee or 50th year. The Sothic calendar system (365 days, circa 3,000BC) started at Heliacal rising of Sirius upon Summer Solstice, June20 +/- South . They Intercalated the last days of a year. The current rabbinical calendar, has 365.2468days/Year. Only the 1st to 7th months were critical to the ancient Hebrew calendar. The time after the 12th month unto the start of the next year new month could be counted as intercalated days, with an ignored month, if only interested in months 1 to 7. Great 3 OBSERVATIONAL HEBREW YEAR OF MOSES by O.P. Armstrong July - 2016 Another way is to make an extra long 12th Twelfth month: had at least 27 days as seen by 2Kg25:27, it month. No where in bible is mention of a was given the name of Adar, see Est3:7&13,8:12,9:1. Here an 13th month, hence Adar2. But these leap eleventh month of 29 days is found by inclusive count, months are required for a lunisolar Neh6:15, 52 less 25 days equal 27 plus the start stop days of 2 calendar. A new year should start in first gives 29 days. Also in story of Noah are found 5 months of 30 lunar month where the 14th lunar day falls days each, Gen7:11,24 & 8:3-4. This indicates bible months on or after the spring equinox. This makes are lunar months. For the lunar month must alternate 29 and "days per year cycles" of 353/355 and 30 days to match the 29.5 days of average lunar period. 383/385 days. About every 3rd year will be a leap year of about 384 days. Counting of these days fall into 3 methods. Strictly observational says watch for the time of equinox, then look for the new moon. The Equinox Sunset length of lunar cycle (29/30 days) and of Alignment at Giza solar year (365 days) are well known. Thus Looking due West by these facts an end of year calculation can be made for when to declare the first new moon of the new year. Finally there is Khufu the molad method of the rabbinical w calendar, 365.2468day/Year, vs. Gregorian of 365.2425 d/Y. Bible Basis of 12 Months: 1Kgs4:7 “... twelve officers over all Sphinx Israel... each man his month in a year...” 1Ch27, 12months1year, “all the months of S N the year...The twelfth captain for the twelfth month.” The sacred duties were E divided into 24 groups, this suggests rotation of a group every 2 weeks. 4 OBSERVATIONAL HEBREW YEAR OF MOSES by O.P. Armstrong July - 2016 Marking time by equinox of the two seasons has the Refs: least long term jitter. Long term Jitter is caused by https://www.fourmilab.ch/earthview/pacalc.html earth polar precession, as demonstrated by below http://judaicseminar.org/halakhot/calendar_jewish.htm graphic. Moses used the most stable year start marker. https://www.fourmilab.ch/documents/calendar/ http://www.knowth.com/loughcrew.htm https://stellafane.org/misc/equinox.html http://www.lavia.org/english/archivo/egyptiancalendaren. html http://www.michaelsheiser.com/PaleoBabble/IslerMethod OfFindingExtendingDirection.pdf Stonehenge is one of many known archeoastronomy sites. It was used to mark seasons. Researcher J. Q. Jacobs has documented these sites extensively. Only at equinoxes does sun rise due east and set due west. 5 OBSERVATIONAL HEBREW YEAR OF MOSES by O.P. Armstrong July - 2016 6 Marking Years by Astronomical Moments of Equinox and New Moon. The first new moon of each new year is selected so the 14th day (full moon) must fall on or after the Spring Equinox. This causes the lunar months to cycle in a progression of 400 Years of 12 lunar months to about 233 years of 13 lunar months. By using observation, the years of 12 and 13 moons will be automatically selected from the determination rule. Over increasing intervals (19,38,190,391) the average length of a year will trend towards 365.2422 days. This is demonstrated by graph above. OBSERVATIONAL HEBREW YEAR OF MOSES by O.P. Armstrong July - 2016 Egyptian tools at time of Moses Equinox Sunrise at Giza West East 7 North OBSERVATIONAL HEBREW YEAR OF MOSES by O.P. Armstrong July - 2016 The Solar Lunar cycles are times periods that give repeating calendar cycles. The older cycles are the Saros, (18 Year) and Metonic, 19Y. Some other whole year cycles Without Equinox Sunset are Half Sar, 9Yr, Unidos, 65Y, 176Y, 298Y. Longer Cycles Without Equinox Sunset are Trihex, 195Y, Hipparchus, 345Y, Gregorian1, 353Y, Gregoriana 372Y, Hexdodea 390Y, Grattan Guinness 391Y, Gregorian2, 725Y, 1042Y.Any multiple of smaller cycles can be tried, like double basic 1042Y. Meton's cycle of 19 years harmonizes the solar year (19 solar years) with the lunar month (235 lunar months) with a remainder of about 2 hours and 3 minutes by which the solar year finishes earlier than the lunar. Another cycle is 190 or 10 Metons. M. de Cheseaux's cycle of 315 years harmonizes the solar and lunar years within 3 hours and 24 minutes. The Metonic 19-year cycle gets rid of most of it's remainder in a larger Biblical cycle of 2,300 years, Dan8:14. Cheseaux's cycle, 315 years, is one quarter of a larger Biblical cycle of 1,260 years (Dan. 8:12; 12:7; Rev. 12:6,14) which is ten times more accurate than Meton's cycle. After 1260 years the sun and moon return, within less than half a degree, to the same point of the ecliptic precisely, and that within an hour of each other. If With Equinox Sunset Meridian Alignments we subtract 1260 from 2300 we get 1040 which is the long- awaited solar-lunar cycle that harmonizes all three W measurements: the year, month and day "with an almost imperceptible error" (Error is .11 of a day, Parker's Celestial Cycles, p.22). In fact, this 1040 year "Daniel Cycle" reaches an error of one day in 15,056 years. Every 687 years the sun and the moon come back into the same relative positions to within 43 N minutes. In 1906, Dr. W. Bell Dawson discovered that the average of 2300 and 1260 lunar years, or 1780 lunar years, was almost exactly equal to 1727 solar years, giving a cycle of even higher accuracy than the 1040 "Daniel Cycle." The most accurate anomalistic cycle (the time it takes for the moon to return to the corresponding point on its elliptical orbit), viz.

JEWISH TIME- For over 2,000 years, Jews have juggled two calendars. According to the secular calendar, the date changes at midnight, the week begins on Sunday, and the year starts in the winter. According to the Hebrew calendar, the day begins at sunset, the week begins on Saturday night, and the new year is celebrated in the fall. The secular, or Gregorian calendar is a solar calendar, based on the fact that it takes 365.25 days for the earth to circle the sun. With only 365 days in a year, after four years an extra day is added to February and there is a leap year.

  • The Torah's Calendar - Mindfulness of the Divine Rhythm
    Hebrew for Christians www.hebrew4christians.com Introduction to the Calendar The Torah's Calendar - Mindfulness of the Divine Rhythm To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven (Eccl 3:1) Introduction The very first word of the Torah indicates the awareness of the significance of time - tyviarEB. –“in the beginning... ” (Genesis 1:1), and according to Rabbinic tradition, the very first commandment given to the children of Israel after being delivered from Egypt was to sanctify the “New Moon” (Exodus 12:1-2), thereby causing the fledgling nation to depart from the solar tradition of the Egyptians ( Ra worship) and to look to the moon for a new means of reckoning time and seasons. The Hebrew lunar calendar is “set” differently than the solar calendar. The day begins at sundown; the climactic day of the week is Shabbat - the seventh day of the week; the moon and its phases in the night sky are the timepiece for the months, and the seasons of the year are marked with special festivals or mo’edim (appointed times). Even the years are numbered: every seventh year was sh’mitah - a Sabbatical year (Lev. 25:2-5), and after seven cycles of sh’mitah the Yovel , or Jubilee Year was to be observed (Lev. 25:8-17). Indeed, according to the Jewish sages, the history of the world may be understood as seven 1,000 year “days,” corresponding to the seven days of creation. In fact, the Talmud (Avodah Zarah, 9A) states that the olam hazeh (this world) will only exist for six thousand years, while the seventh millennium will be an era of worldwide shalom called the olam haba (world to come).

  • Global History and the Present Time
    Global History and the Present Time Wolf Schäfer There are three times: a present time of past things; a present time of present things; and a present time of future things. St. Augustine1 It makes sense to think that the present time is the container of past, present, and future things. Of course, the three branches of the present time are heavily inter- twined. Let me illustrate this with the following story. A few journalists, their minds wrapped around present things, report the clash of some politicians who are taking opposite sides in a struggle about future things. The politicians argue from histori- cal precedent, which was provided by historians. The historians have written about past things in a number of different ways. This gets out into the evening news and thus into the minds of people who are now beginning to discuss past, present, and future things. The people’s discussion returns as feedback to the journalists, politi- cians, and historians, which starts the next round and adds more twists to the en- tangled branches of the present time. I conclude that our (hi)story has no real exit doors into “the past” or “the future” but a great many mirror windows in each hu- man mind reflecting spectra of actual pasts and potential futures, all imagined in the present time. The complexity of the present (any given present) is such that no- body can hope to set the historical present straight for everybody. Yet this does not mean that a scientific exploration of history is impossible. History has a proven and robust scientific method.

  • Significant Times and Dates
    Significant Times and Dates Festivals The Jewish Calendar Jewish holidays or festivals (yamim tovim) are holidays observed by Jews throughout the Hebrew calendar and include religious, cultural, and national aspects. Some are derived from Biblical mitzvot (commandments), others from rabbinic mandates, while others commemorate Jewish history and the history of the State of Israel. All Jewish holidays begin the evening before the date specified. This is because a Jewish day begins and ends at sunset, rather than at midnight. (It is inferred from the story of creation in Genesis, where it says, “And there was evening, and there was morning, one day”.) Jewish holidays occur on the same dates every year in the Hebrew calendar, but the dates vary in the Gregorian calendar. This is because the Hebrew calendar is a lunisolar calendar (based on the cycles of both the moon and sun), whereas the Gregorian calendar is only a solar calendar. The Jewish calendar is primarily lunar, with each month beginning on the new moon. There are approximately 12.4 lunar months in every solar year, so a 12- month lunar calendar loses about 11 days every year. To prevent the “drifting” of months and holy days, Hillel II, in the fourth century, established a fixed calendar based on mathematical and astronomical calculations. This calendar, still in use today, realigned the lunar calendar with the solar years. Holidays of biblical and rabbinic (Talmudic) origin include Q The Sabbath Q Rosh Chodesh—The New Month Q Rosh Hashanah—The Jewish New Year Q Aseret Yemei Teshuva—Ten

  • Jewish Holiday Guide Tu B’ Shvat 1 As Arepresentation Ofthenatural Cycle
    Jewish Holiday Guide Tu B’Shvat 15th day of Shvat “…Just as my ancestors planted for me, so I will plant for my children (Talmud Ta’anit 23a).” Tu B’Shvat is a time when we celebrate the New Year for trees. It falls on the 15th of Shvat in the Hebrew calendar and it is a time for us to focus on our ecological responsibilities and the life cycle of renewal. The very first task that was assigned to humans by God was to care for the environment: ‘God took man and put him into the garden to work it and guard 1 it…’ (Genesis 1:15). In Israel, Tu B’shvat is usually celebrated by planting trees and holding the Tu B’shvat seder. Planting trees is a custom that was first held in 1884 in Israel due to the spiritual significance of the land of Israel and the agricultural emphasis that the Zionist brought with them to Israel. The Tu B’shvat seder is formed out of 4 sections for the 4 worlds as the Kabballah says: • The spiritual world of God represented by fire – Atzilut (nobility) • The physical world of human represented by earth – Assiyah (Doing) • The emotional world represented by air – Briyah (Creation) • The philosophical, thoughtful world represented by water – Yetzirah (Making) Each section of the seder also represents one of the four seasons, and mixtures of red and white wine are drunk in different amounts as a representation of the natural cycle. Tu B’ Shvat Tu Purim 14th day of Adar “The Feast of Lots” Purim is one of the most joyous and fun holidays on the Jewish calendar, as it celebrates the story of two heroes, Esther and Mordecai, and how their courage and actions saved the Jewish people living in Persia from execution.

During the 14 lab sessions, we will encounter objects located in our own solar system, stars filling the Milky Way, and objects located much further away in the far reaches of space. Astronomy is an observational science, as opposed to most of the rest of physics, which is experimental in nature. Astronomers cannot create a star in the lab and study it, walk around it, change it, or explode it. Astronomers can only observe the sky as it is, and from their observations deduce models of the universe and its contents. They cannot ever repeat the same experiment twice with exactly the same parameters and conditions. Remember this as the universe is laid out before you in Astronomy 113 – the story always begins with only points of light in the sky. From this perspective, our understanding of the universe is truly one of the greatest intellectual challenges and achievements of mankind. The exploration of the universe is also a lot of fun, an experience that is largely missed sitting in a lecture hall or doing homework.

  • Haṭhayoga's Floruit on the Eve of Colonialism
    chapter 19 Haṭhayoga’s Floruit on the Eve of Colonialism Jason Birch My doctoral thesis (Birch 2013), which was supervised by Alexis Sanderson at the University of Oxford, contained a survey of texts on Haṭha- and Rājayoga. One of the challenges of completing such a survey was that very few of the texts composed from the sixteenth to eighteenth century had been critically edited or studied academically. Inspired by several exemplary surveys of Śaiva litera- ture in Sanderson’s articles (e.g. 2001, 2007 and 2014), I visited a large number of libraries in India in an effort to consult manuscripts of unpublished yoga texts. By the end of my doctorate, it was apparent to me that yoga texts composed on the eve of colonialism provided new insights into the history of yoga and, more specifically, are crucial for understanding how Haṭhayoga changed after it had been codified by Svātmārāma in the Haṭhapradīpikā (circa mid-fifteenth cen- tury). In fact, after Svātmārāma had successfully transformed Haṭhayoga from an auxiliary practice into a complete soteriological system, there began what might be considered the floruit of Haṭhayoga, insofar as its literature flour- ished, its systems of practice accumulated more techniques and it became, particularly in scholarly compendiums on yoga, almost synonymous with the auxiliaries of āsana and prāṇāyāma. Building on my doctoral research, this article aims to provide a framework for examining the textual sources of Haṭhayoga that were composed from the sixteenth to eighteenth century. After a brief summary of the early literature of Haṭhayoga, I shall discuss some of the salient features of the late literature by dividing the texts into two etic categories; ‘extended works’ and ‘compendi- ums.’ The extended works expatiate on Haṭhayoga as it was formulated in the Haṭhapradīpikā, whereas the compendiums integrate teachings of Haṭhayoga within a discourse on yoga more broadly conceived.

Shipping records demonstrate that St. Augustine had access to a wide variety of goods, giving residents choices in what they purchased, and allowing them to utilize their material possessions to display and reinforce their status. Likewise, their choice of residential design and location allowed them to make statements in regards to their place in the social order.
