为了使农历年和太阳年保持同步,每三年左右增加一个闰月。这个化妆月被称为 Veadar。因此,他坚持使用不同的犹太历和有时会变化的农历年,然后必须根据太阳年周期重新校准。他该如何根据一年长度不同的日历算出任何事情呢?难怪罗伯特·安德森爵士选择使用诺亚哈迪年三百六十天!其他似乎都不起作用。
(order to keep the lunar and solar year synchronized, an intercalary month was added every three years or so. This makeup month was called Veadar. So he was stuck with a Jewish calendar that varied and a lunar year which sometimes varied and then had to be recalibrated, so to speak, with the solar yearly cycle. How was he supposed to figure out anything based upon a calendar which had varying year lengths? No wonder Sir Robert Anderson had chosen to use a Noahadic year of three-hundred-and-sixty days! Nothing else seemed to work.)
