hi welcome to the forum the ancients tended to see time in periods of the moon from new moon to new moon (28-29 days). 12 moon periods made up a year. but every three years or so they would add in an intercalary moon period so as to keep the seasons in sync. often when making calculations they would see a moon period as being 30 days. But this was only a covenience. Thus forty two moon periods would be seen as 1260 days even though in fact being somewhat less. There is, however, slight evidence of a 365 day year in Palestine. But it was not common. Most people stuck to the method I have outlined above, and that was the basis on which life went on. (Most people could not calculate, or count beyond ten) Best wishes |
