Well, he said those particular months (five months during the flood) were 30 days. But it does not prove that other months were the same. Also, it is possible a that change came about after the flood. That is why my study focuses from Moses onward.
Ive studied Enoch too, but I think it has problems with a 364-day year. How do you account for the shortfall of 1.242 days without the seasons slipping behind?
Yes I faced the same dilemma until I asked myself: Did I place the sun, moon and stars in the sky? Did I create and begin time? Did any of these men who made their own calendars or calculations place the heavenly lights in the sky or creat and begin time? The answer is no. If one needs to observe and study something: it means that he is not the orginator of that thing and proves by default that he is not even qualified to teach something he must still be taught about. Therefore Christ said not to call any man father or teacher for our Father and Teacher is in heaven: this is to say that if we were fathered and still need to be fathered; and, that we still must learn and be taught: then we are not true fathers and teachers but, instead types of fathers and teachers. The
1 1/4 day was simply added to the 364 Day Calendar. You wrongly assume that our Gregorian calendar which is of very modern origin is
the calendar to follow and that all others are wrong without giving defense as to why. The same can be said for the other false calendars created by man and not God.
And if you followed my math correctly you would see that I did not completely rely on
Genesis 7:24; 8:3 to prove that we have 360 Days + 4 Intercalary Days:

As you can see even though Moses does not say that each month had 30 Days each we can deduce from the alternating weeks of {
4, 5, 4} that each season has 13 Weeks. Doing the math again:
13 Weeks x 4 Seasons = 52 Weeks/Year
52 Weeks x 7 Days = 364 Days/Year
13 Weeks x 7 Days = 91 Days/Season
91 Days x 4 Seasons = 364 Days/Year
364 Days ÷ 30 Days = ~12.1333... Months/Year
364 Days ÷ 12 Months = ~30.333... Days/Month
We see that scripture and numbers support my argument--before even quoting
Jubilees or
1 Enoch. The last calculation would beg the question: if there are 364 Days/Year then where would we insert the four extra days? According to our calendar model above we would insert them at the end of each of the four seasons.
I believe I have given more than sufficient proof that the
Bible as we have it in our current canon supports a 364 Day Solar Calendar that begins in the spring and is composed of 360 Days + 4 Intercalary Days inserted at the end of each of the four seasons. We now have
Jubilees and
1 Enoch as supplimental witnesses to what the
Bible already says regarding the sun and stars: we only need
1 Enoch to tell us the laws of the moon.
