Oct 3, 2023 at 15:29 comment added MichoelR @YaakovYitzchakbenMoshe, this is all backwards. The current calendar was established less than two thousand years ago. Everything prior to then is just backwards calculation, for sake of convenience in our current calculations, nothing more. Before that the Beis Din kept things in good order. Before the Torah was given, I don't know what anyone did. If Avraham Avinu "kept the Torah before it was given" he must have made his own decisions as a Beis Din.
Oct 3, 2023 at 14:05 comment added B''H Bi'ezras -- Boruch Hashem Thanks. I’m having trouble understanding it though. If a beis din added a month let’s say in year 3000, then wouldn’t that add 30 days to that year that we would know about? Also even if the sun stopped did that add a day to the calendar itself?

Oct 2, 2023 at 23:14 comment added B''H Bi'ezras -- Boruch Hashem I do need the millisecond. The question is if it’s possible to get the exact number of days because sometimes the Beis din added a month etc
