View source for Hebrew Calendar

The [[Hebrew Calendar]] consists of 12 months in a non-leap year and 13 months in a leap year. According to the [[KJV:Exodus|Book of Exodus]], each month was referenced by a number from 1 to 12 (i.e. first month, second month, third month, etc). However, sometime during the [[Babylonian Exile]] each month became associated with a Babylonian name. [http://www.jewfaq.org/calendar.htm]
