Okay, I think this is the answer prov-all is looking for:

The Israelites ate quail for a whole month until they were sick of it!

Numbers 11:18-20

.....Therefore the Lord will give you meat, and you shall eat.

19 You shall eat, not one day, nor two days, nor five days, nor ten days, nor twenty days,

20 but for a whole month, until it comes out of your nostrils and becomes loathsome to you, because you have despised the Lord who is among you, and have wept before Him, saying, “Why did we ever come up out of Egypt?”’”

Great lesson in this answer!

Be very careful what you pray and beg God for! It might not be good for you and He might give it to you!!! Yikes!

I choose to just stay humble and only ask for His Will for me! He knows what's best for me!

[whole…: Heb. month of days]

How long is a Hebrew month ?

 

[Didymous]

Depends on what kind of month it is.

 

[dcontroversal]

How long is a Hebrew month ?

Hebrew months are based upon the lunar cycle......28 days I think....and every xx years they add a 13th month to catch up with the Gregorian calendar if I remember right......

Hmmm........very interesting! I didn't know that. Thank you!

Don't hold me to it....I know I am close in my assessment....but might be off a bit.....just saying...been a while since I looked at it....

Correct, sir. The lunar cycle is just a smidge over 29.5 days and since fractions aren't allowed, the months are either 29 or 30 days.

Correct!

And, in response to your comment, the word "gay" got hijacked, too!

[FONT=&quot]The Jewish calendar is based on three astronomical phenomena: the rotation of the Earth about its axis (a day); the revolution of the moon about the Earth (a month); and the revolution of the Earth about the sun (a year). These three phenomena are independent of each other, so there is no direct correlation between them. On average, the moon revolves around the Earth in about 29½ days. The Earth revolves around the sun in about 365¼ days, that is, about 12.4 lunar months.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]The civil calendar used by most of the world has abandoned any correlation between the moon cycles and the month, arbitrarily setting the length of months to 28, 30 or 31 days.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]The Jewish calendar, however, coordinates all three of these astronomical phenomena. Months are either 29 or 30 days, corresponding to the 29½-day lunar cycle. Years are either 12 or 13 months, corresponding to the 12.4 month solar cycle.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]The lunar month on the Jewish calendar begins when the first sliver of moon becomes visible after the dark of the moon. In ancient times, the new months used to be determined by observation. When people observed the new moon, they would notify the Sanhedrin. When the Sanhedrin heard testimony from two independent, reliable eyewitnesses that the new moon occurred on a certain date, they would declare the rosh chodesh (first of the month) and send out messengers to tell people when the month began.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]The problem with strictly lunar calendars is that there are approximately 12.4 lunar months in every solar year, so a 12-month lunar calendar is about 11 days shorter than a solar year and a 13-month lunar is about 19 longer than a solar year. The months drift around the seasons on such a calendar: on a 12-month lunar calendar, the month of Nissan, which is supposed to occur in the Spring, would occur 11 days earlier in the season each year, eventually occurring in the Winter, the Fall, the Summer, and then the Spring again. On a 13-month lunar calendar, the same thing would happen in the other direction, and faster.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]To compensate for this drift, the Jewish calendar uses a 12-month lunar calendar with an extra month occasionally added. The month of Nissan occurs 11 days earlier each year for two or three years, and then jumps forward 30 days, balancing out the drift. [/FONT]

Define "hijacked" they can't take it from the sky they can only use symbols pretending it's the same thing.

How long is a Hebrew month ?

In ancient biblical times, a year was figured on a basis of twelve 30-day months.
Previous to the time, in Moses’s day, when God gave His people the sacred calendar,
the 30-day month was used.

Notice Genesis 7:11: “In the six hundredth year of Noah’s life, in the second month,
the seventeenth day of the month, the same day were all the fountains of the great deep
broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened.” Now verse 24: “And the waters
prevailed upon the earth an hundred and fifty days.”

Next, Genesis 8:3-4: “And the waters returned from off the earth continually: and
after the end of the hundred and fifty days the waters were abated. And the ark rested
in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, upon the mountains of Ararat.”

So notice—the flood started on the 17th day of the second month. At the end of 150 days,
the ark rested on Mount Ararat, on the 17th day of the 7th month. That was five months
to the day. Five 30-day months are precisely 150 days. So months, then, were 30-day months!

Very informative, sir!

 

[Lafftur]

What is a “Time”?

My guess is ......1 year which would translate as 30 days x 12.4 months = 372 days.

Hmmmmmmm....................I really do NOT think I got this question right.
