The calendar that was used in Israel during the time of Jesus and the The year was calculated from the time of deliverance from Egyptian apostles was much different from the one that most of the world uses slavery; therefore, the Jewish year was focused from the time of Israel’s today. The biblical calendar was lunar based rather than solar based, with redemption. the year composed of twelve months that coincided with the phases of Over time, this new year in Spring came to be called the New Year the moon. The timing of the first day of each month (Rosh Chodesh) was of Kings, Festivals, and Months while the seventh month of the religious established when two witnesses reported to the Sanhedrin that they had calendar came to be recognized as the first month of the Jewish civil observed the first sliver of the new moon. The biblical month was a synodic calendar as it is to this day; therefore, the traditional Jewish new year month of 29.5306 days (29 days, 12 hours, 44+ minutes). (Rosh HaShanah) now begins on the first day of the month Tishrei with the Since a new moon appears approximately every 29.5 days, the Jewish biblical Feast of Trumpets (shofars). Despite the de facto recognition of calendar alternates between months of 29 and 30 days. Twelve months of Rosh HaShanah as the new year in virtually all of the Jewish community, the lunar calendar @29.5 days per month totals 354 days.

It is very clear that In order to compensate for this differential, the Sanhedrin observed both Jesus and the disciples observed the biblical festivals of Passover (John the agricultural circumstances associated with the description of the 2:13; 2:23; 6:4; 11:55), Unleavened Bread (Matthew 26:17; 1 Corinthians first month (the “earing” of the barley, the equinox, and the fruiting of 5:8), Pentecost (Acts 2:1; 20:16; 1 Corinthians 16:8), Tabernacles (John 7:2) the trees), and when they found it necessary, they added an additional and also the post-Torah festivals, which included Hanukkah (John 10:22). month to the year before the last month of the year so that the new moon The timing of each of these events was determined by the Hebrew lunar heralding the first month would occur at the proper agricultural season. calendar. This month was called v’Adar (“and” Adar), Adar Rishon, or Adar Alef For centuries, the Jewish lunar calendar was even respected and (“first” Adar), meaning that there were two months of Adar in each leap consulted by the leaders of the Christian church for the establishment of year. the day of Passover (the fourteenth day of Nisan) from which the timing Today’s Jewish calendar dates from the fourth century when Hillel of the memorial of Jesus’ death and resurrection were dated.
