Disagree, they would have experienced those days. Not 150 days but 153 days.
Therfore claiming they didn't count the intercalery days, isn't true.
You are basically saying Feb 2024 only has 28 days, but we will experience 29.
If we ask how many days are there in that month the answer is 29 days.
The Enoch calendar fails the test for Gen 7-8.
You will have to come up with a solution that fits scripture, not a reinterpretation of what scripture meant.

I agree looking at Enoch's calendar it is clearly divinely inspired. Claiming it was used in Gen 7-8 is yet to be proven.
Believe me I tried, but wanting doesn't mean it was.
Infact, the evidence suggests the opposite, but you have to remove your emotions from the interpretation.
Shalom
It is well documented that the base of sixty was used.
That still doesn't prove Enoch was used.
I understand completely why the intercalery days are normally left out.
However here we have two dates with 150 days between.
Now the question is did the eight experience 150 evenings and mornings, or 153 evenings and mornings but failing to mention the Intercalary days?
I believe it was an eye witness account and simply specifying the days(150 days) in the ark at that point.
Therfore the responsibility is on you to now prove the opposite, and simply dismissing it as Intercalary days which wasn't counted, is not convincing.
Shalom
Why can't you stay on topic and not get personal??
And don't avoid my question this time!!!!!
I am not the discussion point here.
You need to prove that we are not supposed to count the intercalery days, and don't refer me to your previous posts because I am not convinced by your reasoning in them.
So instead of making silly, immature gestures stay on topic and try and prove your point.
Shalom
The normal four inter-calendar days which occur in every year, to make the year 364 days, later became a statute by way of the four days in a year to commemorate the daughter of Yiphtah, (I've already tried to explain this to the OP a while back but he just laughs at and mocks anything and anyone he doesn't want to hear).
In the leap year there are eleven days by the Horeb way sandwiched between the end of the tenth month and the beginning of the eleventh month, (the curious statement in Deuteronomy 1:2, and heed the context and what is then said in the very next verse).
Seven of those eleven days are the leap week, so that the Shabbat never changes to another day of the week, and the other four are the normal inter-calendar days which occur every year between the end of the tenth month and the beginning of the eleventh month. In my understanding of these things from the scripture the leap year is 371 Days, that is, the calendar year of the flood, (which is not an easy thing to explain and probably not worth trying to do in this thread).
The normal year is exactly 52 weeks, (364 days), while the leap year is exactly 53 weeks, (371 days). It is essentially the same as what in modern times they would call a fiscal calendar. The leap year cycle is approximately 28 years, (6, 5, 6, 5, 6), and the sequence repeats until it finally gets a day or so out of alignment.
However the cycle isn't all that important if you simply do not allow the vernal equinox to progress more than seven/eight days beyond 1 Abib. When the vernal equinox falls seven/eight days after 1 Abib then that year is a leap year and a week is added between the tenth month and the eleventh month later that same year.
Every month is thirty days, no more no less, and because the four inter-calendar days are inserted between the tenth month and the eleventh month there are 150 days from the seventeenth of the second month, (inclusive), up to but not including the seventeenth of the seventh month.
