                days.  It  should  regularly  reset  the  calendar                          parashiot‘s  weekly  readings  and  Mark‘s  Gospel                          the lunar calendar works. We have actually found
                otherwise,  every  24  years,  the  Feasts  would  be                       given  in  the  book  "The  Gospel  of  Mark  in  the                       in the Dead Sea Manuscripts (4Q320 and 4Q319) in

                shifted by 1 month, etc ...                                                 calendar" by Denis Grenier. Indeed, some Shabbats,                          Qumran,  a  study  on  the  lunar  calendar.  In  a  few
                                                                                            don‘t have a weekly reading but 2. This then allows                         words,  this  calendar  began  according  to  some
                                                                                            when needed, to read these 2 weekly readings that                           Qumran residents when the moon was full. This was
          9.    So in order to recalibrate to the sun every year, we                        are  usually  read  on  1  Shabbat,  to  be  read  on  2                    for them: the "ot" (sign) of departure, a kind of sign
                will admit that the spiritual calendar of 364 days                          Shabbats.  These  distributions  therefore  seem  to                        of  synchronization  sent  by  God.  For  others,  the

                the  Spring  Equinox.  This  day  must  also  be  a  full                   adapt and reset the times.                                                  at  the  new  moon.  Anyway,  the  lunar  year  is  a  12

                day  as  the  Genesis  describes  it:  there  was  an                                                                                                   months  year  that  alternates  between  29  days  and
                evening and a morning.                                                      In  1954,  an  annual  "sundial"  was  discovered  in                       30 days each month. The first month is a month of
                                                                                            Qumran. It made it possible to locate the solstices                         29 days. The total is 354 days, 10 days less than the
                                                                                            and equinoxes of the year, as well as the direction                         solar year of the Jubilee Calendar. The manuscripts
