3472—The Civil Year of the Jews

How many months in the civil year of the Jews? C. M. D.
The ecclesiastical year of the Jews began with the month Nisan, or Abib (Ex. 12:1, 2), equivalent nearly with our April. The civil year of the Jews began in the seventh month of the sacred, or ecclesiastical, year, Tisri corresponding nearly with our October. Then the fruits of the year were gathered in, and the plowing and sowing of the next year began.
