Yah's calendar is tied in to the New Moon date
Before the flood of Noah the earth followed an orbit of exactly 360 days with days being exactly twelve hours
The flood was caused by the impact of an ice comet which knocked the earth off its axis and out of its uniform orbit, it also knocked the moon off its uniform orbit
The result is that we now have a year of 365 and a quarter days and a moon cycle of approximately 29 days
After the flood, Noah and Shem chose to follow a calendar that as best as they were able followed the pre-flood calendar while Japheth and Ham chose to follow a solar calendar
We are commanded to observe the New Moon as a point of reference for our calendar and a day of feasting
