lunisolar calendar, or
"fixed lunar year,"
based on twelve lunar
months of twenty-nine or
thirty days, and a
weekly cycle of seven
days, mirroring the
seven-day period of the
Book of Genesis in which
the world is created.

From the new moon, the
Babylonians celebrated
every seventh day as a
"holy-day", with
prohibited activities,
to conduct offerings to
a different god and
goddess. The last week
would be longer (ie. 9
days), to accommodate
for the new moon, which
would start a new week
and month.
