   In further looking through the DEAD SEA SCROLLS translation by Wise,   
   Abegg and Cook, one notes a particular enigmatic reference within the   
   fragment 4Q319 - CALENDAR OF THE HEAVENLY SIGNS:   
      
   "REFERS TO THE FAIRLY UNCOMMON APPEARANCE OF THE FULL MOON ON THE FIRST   
   DAY OF THE SOLAR YEAR."   
      
   Is that assertion sustained by actual textual fragments, since we could   
   not resolve the statement as being something other than speculation /   
   misapprehension by the authors even though the full moon would be on 1   
   January as TETRAD #3 - MIRED (HSIEN) assigned to the dates 31 DEC - 4   
   JAN which was established as a factuality upon the new moon of the   
   midnight solstice 21 DECEMBER 103 BCE.   
      
   Rather, if it ought to be considered substantiated evidence on whether   
   they also knew the start of solar year as then applicable to the #81 x   
   4.5 days = #364.5 days COURSE-trochos OF NATURE-genesis [James 3:6]   
   given a simplistic rational determination 24 x 7 x 13 x 49 of the   
   tropical year length 365.2423 days x 263 = 364 days x 294 years.

   IT DOESN'T SEEM POSSIBLE THAT A FULL MOON CAN BE ON THE FIRST DAY OF THE   
   364 DAY / YEAR GIVEN THE INTERCALATION ALWAYS RELATES TO A NEW MOON   
   CYCLE (ie. we know nothing related to the implication of the assertion:   
   "moon resting on the Sabbath" as to whether this was a further 1 day   
   periodic lunar intercalation) RELATIVE TO THE 2 x #1092 = #2184 X 49 =   
   6J CHRONOLOGY: At the end of three lunar years, with the two calendars   
   now thirty days out of kilter, the difference is made good. An   
   additional thirty-day month is added. (What would have been expected,   
   according to the pattern of alternation described above, is a   
   twenty-nine day month. But thirty days are added, in order to “force”   
   the desired conjunction on New Year’s day of year four.) In sum, the   
   equation for the lunar calendar is:   
      
   354 day lunar year x 3 years = 1062 days + 30 day month = 1092 days.   
      
   Unless it's an observation made of a temporal drift between the 293   
   tropical years and the 294 x 364 days   
      
   "The “second column’s” element, ’ot, refers to the fairly uncommon   
   appearance of the full moon on the first day of the solar year. More   
   generally, ’ot means “sign,” so our author took this conjunction as a   
   sort of sign from God. He believed that the conjunction had first   
   occurred on the fourth day of creation week. That day was significant   
   because on it the sun and the moon were created, and time reckoning   
   depended on their movement. (Thus, the first three days of creation   
   were, in a sense, "outside time" before modern physics, black holes, and   
   such.)   
      
   The biblical passage that provided the mandate for an interest in the   
   conjunction was Genesis said, ‘Let there be lights in the expanse of the   
   heavens to distinguish the day from the night, and let them be for signs   
   and for seasons and years.” The author designates each new conjunction   
   with a name. In every case the name is that of the priestly division   
   that would be in service at the time. Because of the peculiarities of   
   the rotation of priests, the names of the conjunctions are always the   
   same, alternating between the priestly families of Gamul and Shecaniah.   
      
   According to our author’s understanding the ’ot recurred every three   
   years. To figure out this fact he needed to know solar and lunar   
   correspondences. So we must understand his algorithm, the motor that   
   made his-conceptual machine run. The equation for the solar calendar   
   covering three years is as follows: 364-day solar year x 3 years = 1092   
   days. [Wise, Abegg and Cook, page 306]   
      
   @DATE(1996,3,20) = WEDNESDAY / CREATION REPRISE   
      
   @DATE(1996,3,21) = THURSDAY / New moon   
      
   @DATE(1999,1,1) = Full moon   
      
   @DATE(1999,1,1) - @DATE(1996,3,20) = 1017 days + 75 days = 1092 days cycle
