Bible Question: I guess I was wondering if the definition of a year in the Webster Dictionary is the same definition of a year when the Bible was translated or written. |
Bible Answer: To my knowledge a year has never been anything but the period of time in which the earth completes a single revolution around the sun, just as a month is a measure of time corresponding nearly to the period of the moon's revolution and amounting to approximately 4 weeks or 30 days or 1/12 of a year and a day has always been the period of rotation of a planet (as earth) or a moon on its axis. |
