Days, Years, …

In ancient times Jews certainly had a solar calendar. The structure of the 7 day week has in its own

right univocal ties with the vague year, built on 365 days: the peculiarity is that the first and the last

day of the year (D1 and D365) coincide with the same day of the week (fig. 1), because 7 is sub

multiple of 364 (7x52=364)1.

Figure 1

So we have only seven typologies of years (fig. 2), from Y1 Reeshone-year, which starts and ends

with Reeshone day, to Y7 Shabbat-year, which starts and ends on Shabbat, passing through Y2

Shaynee-year, Y3 Shlee’shee-year, Y4 Revee’ee-year, Y5 Khah’mee’shee-year and Y6

Ha’shee’shee-year: a 7 year week!

The Hebrew week, not common in ancient Mediterranean civilizations (looking, for example, at

Nuragics and Egyptians with their 10 day week), directly leads to a year with thirteen 28 day

months (each one with 4 weeks) plus one day2; such typical months have to be named Hebrew

months3.

1 Such a similar strategy characterizes another great Mediterranean civilization, the Nuragic one, with fourteen 26-day

months per year (14x26=364). The Mayan, with their Tzolk’in, had the same result using twenty-eight periods each one

with 13 days (28x13=364). 2 13x28+1=364+1=365. It would be wonderful to name Jude the 13

th month and put it in the sequence … June, July,

Jude, … 3 First Passover falls the 14

th night of the first month (Exodus 12, 2-6), simply because it coincides with half month

(28/2=14); and the feast of tabernacles begins the 15th

day of the 7th

month because exactly half an year has gone by.

The verse “Over the course of ten months, I took shape from her blood, …” (Wisdom 7,2) is another important track of

this month: a pregnancy is well related with 280 days 10x28=280).

Figure 2: 7 Year Week

Birkat Hachama

As days and years have the same rhythm and the same name, on the 28th

year, which is a Shabbat-

year (fig. 3), inserting a whole week more (thereby obtaining 372 days) we have a year perfectly

identical with the Julian one ((28x365+7)/28=365.25). Evidence of the extreme importance of the

28 year cycle for Jews is a rare prayer, Birkat Hachama that recurs only once every 28 years. It is a

wonderful prayer, blessing God, performed to mark the sun’s return to the position it was in at the

time of creation:

Figure 3: 28 Year Month

“One who sees the sun at its turning point, should say “Blessed be He who reenacts the creation”.

When is this? Every 28 years when the cycle begins again, and the Nissan equinox falls in Saturn,

on the evening of Tuesday going into Wednesday …”

Inserting a week once every 28 years (in practice a 28 year month!) and not a day once every 4

years, as suggested by Julian criteria, allows for preserving the harmonic rhythm of years on the

names of the days; this will be better understood in the next sections. What’s more in 28 years we

have 364 (28x13=364) Hebrew months plus 28 days, that is another month, giving globally 365

months; whilst considering that a further week must be inserted we obtain 365.25 months4. This

spectacular trick of coincidence between days (of year) and months (of 28 year cycle) reveals a

superb calendar architecture5. Luckily it is unanimously accepted that Hebrew knowledge on solar

cycle has at least the same accuracy as that of the Julian calendar! But there is much, much more to

say …

Jubilee Week

On Leviticus (25, 8-10) we can read:

You are to count seven Shabbat years, seven times seven years, that is forty nine years …

and you are to consecrate the fiftieth year, ….

Figure 4

Figure 4 shows the first fiftieth year, that’s to say the first Jubilee, which has a Reeshone typology

(like the first year), while Figure 5 shows that 50 year periods have the same rhythm of the days of

the week. So we still have seven different jubilees, from the first J1, which falls in a year starting

and ending with the Reeshone day, to the seventh J7 Shabbat jubilee, a year which starts and ends

on Shabbat, passing through J2 Shaynee, J3 Shlee’shee, J4 Revee’ee, J5 Khah’mee’shee and J6

Ha’shee’shee jubilees: a 7 Jubilee Week! It must be clear that all 50-year periods begin and end

with the same year typology (1st and 50

th year are Y1, 51

st and 100

th are Y2, 101

st and 150

th are Y3,

151st and 200

th are Y4, 201

st and 250

th are Y5, 251

st and 300

th are Y6 and 301

st and 350

th are Y7). It

is easily understandable that such a biblical harmony (preserved by simply inserting a week once

every 28 years) would be broken by Julian or Gregorian rude insertions6.

4 1 week = 7/28= 0.25 Hebrew month.

5 The architecture is even more superb because 28 years are equivalent to 1,461 weeks (365.25 x 4 = 1,461) and 1,461

days define the leap year (365 x 4 + 1 = 1,461). For the sake of simplicity we do not consider this day-week trick. 6 Whoever pretends to have a jubilee once every 25 years (or worse still 3 jubilees from 2000 to 2018) is thoroughly

wrong, because in such a way he destroys the jubilee harmony.

As days and years have the same sequence, the important 50 day cycle (Pentecost) can be found in

the same figure 57.

Figure 5: 7 Jubilee (Pentecost) Week Every Other Day

On the 14th

jubilee, that’s to say once every 700 years, there is a coincidence with the 28 year

cycle8. So a 700 year cycle has a strategic importance; we can name it seven century week. Figure 6

shows its characteristic every other day rhythm.

In a Greek mythological frame Odyssey Book XII introduces many typical topics of Hebrew

culture. We can see traces of the 7 day week in verses9:

For six days my men

kept driving in the best cows and feasting upon them,

but when Jove had added a seventh day …

Besides that in Thrinacian island there are10

:

many herds

of cattle and flocks of sheep belonging to the sun-god,

seven herds of cattle and seven flocks of sheep,

with 50 heads in each one. They do not breed,

nor do they become fewer in number …

If we set down each cow or sheep as symbolizing a whole year, something interesting emerges.

First of all each herd or flock with 50 heads is coupled with a 50 year period which implies a

jubilee; second we obtain a 700 year cycle (because 7x50 cows + 7x50 sheep = 350 cows + 350

sheep = 700 years), which is an important Hebrew cycle (7 century week) as stated above11

.

However sheep are smaller than cows: how can we explain this? In the first 350 years we have 12

insertions of a week once every 28 years, while in the second 350 years we have 13 of such

insertions12

. This leads in the first case to a 365.24-day sheepyear ((365x350+12x7)/350=365.24)

and in the second one to a 365.26-day cowyear ((365x350+13x7)/350=365.26). This notable

conceptual difference is marked by the different size existing between sheep and cows!

One last addition that must be made deals with the triangular shape of Thrinacian island, the same

shape of the yod, the symbol for the eye of God. As a matter of fact if we had to choose a

Mediterranean island for symbolizing the yod, shouldn’t we be forced to think about Sicily? Isn’t,

perhaps, Hebrew culture the largest important island in ancient Mediterranean environment? And

why does Odysseus encounter the classical Mediterranean rhythm, the 10 day week, only when he

leaves the Thrinacian island13

?

Hence I was carried along for nine days till on the tenth night

The gods stranded me on the Ogygian island.

The Astronomer Psalmist

We can understand now the obscure verse 4 of Psalm 90:

From your viewpoint a thousand years are merely like yesterday

or a night watch.

9 Odyssey, XII, 397-399.

10 Odyssey, XII, 127-131.

11 Someone thinks that Thrinacian island refers to Egypt. He is wrong because Egyptian jubilee is associated with 30

year cycles. 12

12x28+13x28=336+364=700. 13

Odyssey, XII, 447-448.

Figure 7

Why exactly yesterday and not any other day? And why a night watch? Yesterday gives a feeling of

retrograde motion while the most important night watch, Shabbat Eve, puts “a thousand years”, that

is to say the first millennium M1 on the sixth day. As a matter of fact the thousandth year has a

Ha’shee’shee typology (fig. 7), because 7 is a sub multiple of 1,001. Moving backwards, yesterday

by yesterday, we find the last millennium M7 with a Shabbat typology passing through M2

Khah’mee’shee, M3 Revee’ee, M4 Shlee’shee, M5 Shaynee and M6 Reeshone millennia (fig. 8): an

entire 7,000 year cycle is still based on number seven (7 millennium week), but with a counter path

which preserves the important closing position to a Shabbat character. Just this retrograde motion of

millennia generated the Phoenix myth14

.

Some Rabbis think that 1,000 year cycles have ties with the Phoenix. Rabbi Shelomo Yitzhaki had this to say

concerning the Phoenix: “It is a bird whose name is chol, and death has no power on it, because it did not taste the fruit

from the tree of knowledge. At the end of thousand years it renews itself, and returns to his youth”.

So the Psalmist was perfectly aware of the harmonic functionality of the Hebrew solar calendar: his

knowledge is that of an expert astronomer.

How many Paths!

Freemasonry gives the candle lighting paths extreme importance, always saving the last position for

the central candle, symbol of Worshipful Master; six meaningful paths are possible, all in coherency

with possible Hebrew weeks, all hinged on the central stable Shabbat.

Figure 9: Six Paths

Each row of figure 9 simultaneously has a Day-Pentecost-Year-Jubilee character, because of the

same rhythm (figures 1, 2, 4, 5). Avoiding unnecessary redundancies we shall speak from now on,

for the sake of simplicity, only of years.

The fundamental path 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 is that of years (Y) on the first row; referring to decades

(Ten years) the triple jump path is 3, 6, 2, 5, 1, 4, 7 on the second row. We have already seen the

every other day rhythm of centuries (C) 2, 4, 6, 1, 3, 5, 7 of the third row, and the counter weekly

path of millennia (M) 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 7 of the fourth row. Considering ten thousand year (TT) cycles

the path becomes that of the fifth row 4, 1, 5, 2, 6, 3, 7, while the hundred thousand year (HT)

periods are the last path 5, 3, 1, 6, 4, 2, 7. But there is a much more deep meaning!

Being 999,999 a multiple of 7, in a Shabbat position, one million years coincide again with Y1 and

it is easy to verify that every million year period belongs to the Y path of the first row. Not only!

Ten million year cycles have a T path, and so on up to hundred thousand million year cycles, with

an HT path.

999,999,999,999 is a multiple of 7 as well! So the trillion years have a Y path again, and so on …

We are in the presence of a wonderful long count calendar, like the Mayan one!

Solomon’s Cycles

This astonishing cyclic nature can be better understood, in its geometrical perfection, using a

“closed” particular menorah: the Solomon’s seal. Here the Shabbat hub is the “invisible” center,

which the entire structure depends on, while the opposite motions 1, 3, 5 and 2, 4, 6 in the menorah

become the clockwise and anticlockwise rotations of the constitutive triangles (fig. 10).

It is useful to note that the seal must be oriented likewise the floor tarsia of Romanesque basilicas

(fig. 11, Santa Croce in Rome).

All the six paths obviously become cyclic (fig. 12) and group by twos in identical shapes (Y-M, T-

TT and C-HT), with opposite rotations, opposite starting points (1-6, 3-4 and 2-5) but a common

last point: the dissimilar holy 7-Shabbat!

Figure 11

The path symmetry-antisymmetry game is so fine that each of the six symmetry axes of the basic

hexagon can be chosen as reference axis.

Particularly Years and Millennia have the counter paths 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 (Y) and 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 7

(M); Decades and Ten Thousand years have the opposite cycles 3, 6, 2, 5, 1, 4, 7 (T) and 4, 1, 5, 2,

6, 3, 7 (TT), while Centuries and Hundred Thousand years reverse in the paths 2, 4, 6, 1, 3, 5, 7 (C)

and 5, 3, 1, 6, 4, 2, 7 (HT).

The Tabernacle Year

On Exodus (26, 1-6) we read:

Make the tabernacle with 10 curtains of finely linen and blue, purple and scarlet yarn …

All the curtains are to be the same size, 28 cubits long and 4 cubits wide …

Fasten the curtains together so that the tabernacle is a unit.

Figure 13

The colours white of linen and blue, purple and scarlet of yarn have logical ties with the light of the

sun and the sky in the various sun lights (from the sunrise to the sunset). As the cubit is a length

unit, assuming one square cubit as a cycle equaling one solar year15 is fascinating because we can

recognize solstices and equinoxes on the diagonal directions (fig. 13), while each triangle represents

one of the four seasons, which are fundamentally different from the Egyptian ones (Flooding,

Growing and Harvesting are simply three seasons). In such a way we discover an amazing

astronomical knowledge; first of all each curtain symbolizes a 112 year cycle (28x4=112), an

important partial cycle, because in such a period, as stated above, we must insert 28 days (7x4=28),

that’s to say a whole Hebrew month! Besides that 112 years are made up of 1,461 months16

; if we

continue to consider the game day-month we can deduce a perfect knowledge of the leap year

(4x365+1=1,461 days). But the 10 curtains are fastened “together so that the tabernacle is a unit”,

so we are forced to consider that the entire cycle (10x112=1,120), a 1,120 year cycle, does indeed

refer to the sun. As a consequence of that we must insert a whole week more once every 1,120

years. Such a similar choice gives a year with:

(1,120 x 365.25 + 7) / 1,120 = 365.25625 days.

We must name such a year Tabernacle year: it is a quasi sidereal year, because it is very close by

the sidereal solar one, fixed in our encyclopedias on 365.25636 days17

.

15

All the measures in cubits of Exodus 26 have astronomical pregnancy. This will be subject for another paper. 16

28 years contain 365.25 months as stated above, so that 365.25x4=1461. 17

The difference between the sidereal year (365.25636 days) and the Tabernacle Year (365.25625 days) is about 9.5

seconds (0.00011x24x3600=9.504)!

12

Figure 14

Figure 15

As 28 years hide the basic 4 year cycle (28/7=4), linked in the leap year, 1,120 years have to be

related with a strategic 160 year cycle (1,120/7=160) which has a strong astronomical pregnancy.

As a matter of fact in 160 Tabernacle years we have a considerable realignment of the sun with the

fixed stars. Figure 14 shows the sun between Spica (Virgo) and Libra; after 58,441 days

(160x365.25625=58,441) the sun joins again the same constellations in a quite similar position (fig.

15). Besides that in 160 Tabernacle years we have 1,979 moons so that the Hebrew synodic moon

cycle assumes the value 29.530571 days (58,441/1979=29.530571) which is amazingly close by

29.53059 registered on our encyclopedias. The location of the moon between Aries and Pleiades

(Taurus) (fig. 16) is spectacularly repeated after 160 Tabernacle years (fig. 17). Just the same

position with regards to the fixed stars suggests that we analyze the sidereal moon cycle with its

accurate value of 27.32164 days, because in 58,441 days we have 2,139 sidereal moons

(58,441/2,139=27.32164), while our scientists use 27.32166 days! So 160 Tabernacle years

perfectly harmonize the synodic and sidereal moons.

Figure 16

Figure 17

These data must not be underestimated; it is necessary to emphasize that only the Tabernacle year

has in its own right these wonderful results, because 160 Julian years are made up of 58,440 days,

whilst about 58,439 days are equivalent to 160 Gregorian years18

. It goes without saying that the

best astronomical model has been thought up by the Jews19

!

The 160 year cycle paints in a 1,120 year one a particular menorah (fig. 18); so these advanced

astronomical notions could even have given rise to recurring themes in ancient Jewish textile sector.

If we consider the identities:

5 x 1,120 = 8 x 700 =5,600 years

25 x 1,120 = 40 x 700 = 28,000 years

we can easily observe that 1,120 year cycles interestingly coincide with 700 year ones every 28,000

years, that’s to say once every 40 seven century weeks; it seems unnecessary to remind the reader of

the extreme importance of the number 40 in Hebrew tradition. This wonderful coincidence directly

derives from the sapient structure of jubilees built on 50 year periods. Let’s consider, at last, the

parallelism between 28 years and 28,000 years: it is really fascinating! If 28 years contain 365.25

Hebrew months then 28,000 years are made up of 365,250 months plus 25 weeks (added every

1,120 years), in equivalence with 175 days (7x25=175) or 6.25 Hebrew months (175/28=6.25). So

in 28,000 years we have 365,256.25 months; this number has the same significant digits of the days

in a Tabernacle year, with a simple triple shifting of the decimal point!

18

We should obviously have wrong values, e. g., for synodic moon cycle: 29.530066 (58,440/1,979=29.530066) for the

Julian year and, worse, 29.52956 (58,439/1,979=29.52956) for the Gregorian one. 19

The Tabernacle year really is fascinating, all the more so because it is deduced from astronomical observations of

quadrature, which are based on 40 year cycles (40 x 4 = 160). “Forty years” often recur in Hebrew tradition!

The last step, having deep roots in the Bible, allows us to obtain a wonderful perpetual calendar. By

the same symbolical equivalence (1 square cubit=1 solar year) we can see that all the measures of

the ark (Gn. 6, 15-16) have astronomical pregnancy:

The ark is to be 300 cubits long, 50 cubits wide and 30 cubits high. Make a roof for it, leaving

below the roof an opening 1 cubit high all around. Put a door in the side of the ark and make lower,

middle and upper decks.

Figure 19

If we consider an ark with seven frames (fig. 19) a single (1 cubit wide) plank has a 50 square

cubits area, which is the symbol for a Jubilee. All the seven jubilee typologies laterally group in an

orderly way (Reeshone, Shaynee, Shlee’shee, Revee’ee, Khah’mee’shee, Ha’shee’shee), with the

Shabbat one on the important heads (fig. 20a), while an entire planking turn (700 square cubits) is a

7 century week (fig. 20b); so the lateral surface of the ark behaves like a double Solomon’s seal,

and with its 21,000 (700 x 30) square cubits, through three decks, symbolizes three millennium

cycles (7,000 x 3 = 21,000), being the single deck, 10 cubits high, a millennium week (fig. 20c).

Figure 20

Reasonably hinging the “door in the side” on the frames, at the upper deck level, we can define a

1,000 (50x10+50x10) square cubits double door, in equivalence with a millennium; it certainly is a

solar opening, because the leaves rest on the central frame, between the Shlee’shee and Revee’ee

typology20

, that is “on the evening of Tuesday going into Wednesday” according to the prayer

Birkat Hachama (linked together the 28 year cycle); just this solar quality helps us in placing and

dimensioning the roof of the verse 16, very difficult to translate: the roof “is to be” 280 cubits long!

Only this value cuts off the important 28,000 year cycle from the base and the top of the ark (280 x

50 + 280 x 50 = 28,000 square cubits); and the fundamental identity:

5 x 1,120 = 8 x 700 =5,600 years

where is it? We can well imagine a central symmetry for a 10 cubits wide roof (fig. 21), so we can

cut off two of these important cycles from the remaining top (2 x280 x 20 = 2 x 5,600)! Each

blue/white stripe on the top, in figure 19, is a 1,120 year cycle (5 x 1,120 = 5,600 years).

And with its 2,800 (280 x 10) square cubits, what does the roof symbolize? A 28 century month (28

x 100 years), that’s to say 4 century weeks (painted in fig. 19 according to the scheme of figure 20b,

because the ark unit of measure is one Jubilee).

Summing the various surfaces of the ark, that’s to say 15,000 (300 x 50) square cubits of the base,

15,000 of the top, 21,000 of the lateral surface, 580 (280+10+280+10) of the 1 cubit high opening

(below the roof), we obtain 51,580 square cubits, the symbolic equivalent of two precessions of the

equinoxes, each one consisting in 25,790 years21

. This precession accuracy is upsetting, because it

involves an exact knowledge, at least to the fifth decimal, of both tropical and sidereal year: the

Tabernacle year is not enough to justify such an accuracy!

If we use a criterion derived from Incan calendar (De Pasquale 2011), that’s to say if we insert a

whole week more once every 62,720 years we obtain a year with:

(62,720 x 365.25625 + 7) / 62,720 = 365.2563616 days,

a perfect value of the sidereal solar year22

! We should have a unique and repeatable 7-year calendar

containing all the year typologies: Y1 Reeshone, Y2 Shaynee, Y3 Shlee’shee, Y4 Revee’ee, Y5

Khah’mee’shee, Y6 Ha’shee’shee and Y7 Shabbat. Every year would have only 365 days, but we

must take care of inserting:

7 days once every 28 years, obtaining 372 days (53 weeks plus 1 day) for 28th

years,

14 days once every 1,120 years, with 379 days (54 weeks plus 1 day) for 1,120th

years,

21 days once every 62,720 years, with 386 days (55 weeks plus 1 day) for 62,720th

years23

.

It is impossible not to feel like an honorary Jew who got as a gift a golden (one square cubit!) leaf,

very thick, to restore an unbelievably wonderful solar calendar.

It is not our minimum intention to propose its reintroduction!

Our enjoyable duty is to simply name this chief calendar “Moses Calendar”, because it clearly is

stately like the maximum Patriarch, what’s more directly involving Him in the Tabernacle year.

At least two precessions are needed to include the important 28,000 year cycle! 22

The tropic solar year is 365.2421989 = 365.2563616 x (1 - 1/25790)! 23

28 is sub multiple of 1,120 (28x40=1,120), which in turn is sub multiple of 62,720 (1,120x56=62,720).
