Biblical Understanding based on the Record of Scripture
YHVH created the sun and the moon and set them in the heavens, in part, to show when to observe His Festivals. The date listed on this calendar for the start of the 1st month and the 7th month is based on the first projected sighting, after sunset, of the renewing of the light of the moon.
Hebrews 12:10,11 NKJV
For they (physical parents) indeed for a few days chastened us as seemed best to them but He (God and Father) for our profit, that we might be partakers of His holiness.
Now no chastening (correction or discipline) seems to be joyful for the present but painful; nevertheless, afterward it yields the peaceable fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it.
