The Hebrew Bible
Abstract
The Hebrew Bible, the earliest surviving collection of Israelite-Jewish writings, includes no document that could be called a calendar as we think of calendars today. As a matter of fact, the Bible provides little information about calendars, yet it does offer some givens that have necessarily played a role in all subsequent Jewish calendrical calculation. Several of the key passages should now be adduced and their value for the topic at hand assessed.
