A week starts on the first day and ends on the seventh day according to Enoch 71:9-11.
There are 52 weeks in a year according to Jubilees 6:30.
- A Month
A month consists of 30-31 days according Deuteronomy 21:11-13, Deuteronomy 34:8 and Numbers 20:29.
To determine the length of a month, we must take into consideration, the division of the four days making the year a complete 364 days according to Enoch 74:1 and Enoch 81:11.
There are 12 months in a year according to Jasher 9:8, Revelation 22:2, 1 Chronicles 27:1, Enoch 74:12, 1 Kings 4:7, Esther 3:13, Esther 8:12, Esther 9:1, Esther 9:17, Esther 16:20 and 1 Maccabees 7:43
A month starts at the new moon where light is accepted into the moon on that first night, this is something we cannot see directly on the first night but by the third night, we are able to recount the steps to calculate the first night, according to Enoch 77:14, Enoch 73:1-8, Ecclesiasticus 43:7, Ecclesiasticus 78:2-3, 1 Samuel 20:5, Psalms 81:3 and Psalms 104:19.
Psalms 81:3
[3]Blow up the trumpet in the new moon, in the time appointed, on our solemn feast day.
1 Samuel 20:5
[5]And David said unto Jonathan, Behold, to morrow is the new moon, and I should not fail to sit with the king at meat: but let me go, that I may hide myself in the field unto the third day at even.
Psalms 104:19
[19]He appointed the moon for seasons: the sun knoweth his going down.
A month ends after the period of 30-31 days from the first light, it can also be identified by the moon's second phrase which is when the light of it's fullness decreases until the 30th or 31st day to darkness.
- Seasons
There are 4 seasons in a year which starts with Spring then Summer then Fall and lastly, winter, in other words, 6 months hot, 6 months cold according to Genesis 8:22, Psalms 74:17, Jubilees 2:2, Jubilees 6:4, Jubilees 29:16, Genesis 1:14.
Genesis 1:14
[14]And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years:
Psalms 74:17
[17]Thou hast set all the borders of the earth: thou hast made summer and winter.
Genesis 8:22
[22]While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease.

[3]Six days shall work be done: but the seventh day is the sabbath of rest, an holy convocation; ye shall do no work therein: it is the sabbath of the LORD in all your dwellings.
[4]These are the feasts of the LORD, even holy convocations, which ye shall proclaim in their seasons.
[5]In the fourteenth day of the first month at even is the LORD'S passover.
[6]And on the fifteenth day of the same month is the feast of unleavened bread unto the LORD: seven days ye must eat unleavened bread.
[7]In the first day ye shall have an holy convocation: ye shall do no servile work therein.
[8]But ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto the LORD seven days: in the seventh day is an holy convocation: ye shall do no servile work therein.
[9]And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
[10]Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye be come into the land which I give unto you, and shall reap the harvest thereof, then ye shall bring a sheaf of the firstfruits of your harvest unto the priest:
[11]And he shall wave the sheaf before the LORD, to be accepted for you: on the morrow after the sabbath the priest shall wave it.
[12]And ye shall offer that day when ye wave the sheaf an he lamb without blemish of the first year for a burnt offering unto the LORD.
[13]And the meat offering thereof shall be two tenth deals of fine flour mingled with oil, an offering made by fire unto the LORD for a sweet savour: and the drink offering thereof shall be of wine, the fourth part of an hin.
[14]And ye shall eat neither bread, nor parched corn, nor green ears, until the selfsame day that ye have brought an offering unto your God: it shall be a statute for ever throughout your generations in all your dwellings.
[15]And ye shall count unto you from the morrow after the sabbath, from the day that ye brought the sheaf of the wave offering; seven sabbaths shall be complete:
[16]Even unto the morrow after the seventh sabbath shall ye number fifty days; and ye shall offer a new meat offering unto the LORD.
[17]Ye shall bring out of your habitations two wave loaves of two tenth deals: they shall be of fine flour; they shall be baken with leaven; they are the firstfruits unto the LORD.
[18]And ye shall offer with the bread seven lambs without blemish of the first year, and one young bullock, and two rams: they shall be for a burnt offering unto the LORD, with their meat offering, and their drink offerings, even an offering made by fire, of sweet savour unto the LORD.
[19]Then ye shall sacrifice one kid of the goats for a sin offering, and two lambs of the first year for a sacrifice of peace offerings.
[20]And the priest shall wave them with the bread of the firstfruits for a wave offering before the LORD, with the two lambs: they shall be holy to the LORD for the priest.
[21]And ye shall proclaim on the selfsame day, that it may be an holy convocation unto you: ye shall do no servile work therein: it shall be a statute for ever in all your dwellings throughout your generations.
[22]And when ye reap the harvest of your land, thou shalt not make clean riddance of the corners of thy field when thou reapest, neither shalt thou gather any gleaning of thy harvest: thou shalt leave them unto the poor, and to the stranger: I am the LORD your God.
[23]And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
[24]Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, In the seventh month, in the first day of the month, shall ye have a sabbath, a memorial of blowing of trumpets, an holy convocation.
[25]Ye shall do no servile work therein: but ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto the LORD.
[26]And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
[27]Also on the tenth day of this seventh month there shall be a day of atonement: it shall be an holy convocation unto you; and ye shall afflict your souls, and offer an offering made by fire unto the LORD.
[28]And ye shall do no work in that same day: for it is a day of atonement, to make an atonement for you before the LORD your God.
[29]For whatsoever soul it be that shall not be afflicted in that same day, he shall be cut off from among his people.
[30]And whatsoever soul it be that doeth any work in that same day, the same soul will I destroy from among his people.
[31]Ye shall do no manner of work: it shall be a statute for ever throughout your generations in all your dwellings.
[32]It shall be unto you a sabbath of rest, and ye shall afflict your souls: in the ninth day of the month at even, from even unto even, shall ye celebrate your sabbath.

[38]Beside the sabbaths of the LORD, and beside your gifts, and beside all your vows, and beside all your freewill offerings, which ye give unto the LORD.
[39]Also in the fifteenth day of the seventh month, when ye have gathered in the fruit of the land, ye shall keep a feast unto the LORD seven days: on the first day shall be a sabbath, and on the eighth day shall be a sabbath.
[40]And ye shall take you on the first day the boughs of goodly trees, branches of palm trees, and the boughs of thick trees, and willows of the brook; and ye shall rejoice before the LORD your God seven days.
[41]And ye shall keep it a feast unto the LORD seven days in the year. It shall be a statute for ever in your generations: ye shall celebrate it in the seventh month.
[42]Ye shall dwell in booths seven days; all that are Israelites born shall dwell in booths:
[43]That your generations may know that I made the children of Israel to dwell in booths, when I brought them out of the land of Egypt: I am the LORD your God.
[44]And Moses declared unto the children of Israel the feasts of the LORD.
Deuteronomy 16:1-15
[1]Observe the month of Abib, and keep the passover unto the LORD thy God: for in the month of Abib the LORD thy God brought thee forth out of Egypt by night.
[2]Thou shalt therefore sacrifice the passover unto the LORD thy God, of the flock and the herd, in the place which the LORD shall choose to place his name there.
[3]Thou shalt eat no leavened bread with it; seven days shalt thou eat unleavened bread therewith, even the bread of affliction; for thou camest forth out of the land of Egypt in haste: that thou mayest remember the day when thou camest forth out of the land of Egypt all the days of thy life.
[4]And there shall be no leavened bread seen with thee in all thy coast seven days; neither shall there any thing of the flesh, which thou sacrificedst the first day at even, remain all night until the morning.
[5]Thou mayest not sacrifice the passover within any of thy gates, which the LORD thy God giveth thee:
[6]But at the place which the LORD thy God shall choose to place his name in, there thou shalt sacrifice the passover at even, at the going down of the sun, at the season that thou camest forth out of Egypt.
[7]And thou shalt roast and eat it in the place which the LORD thy God shall choose: and thou shalt turn in the morning, and go unto thy tents.
[8]Six days thou shalt eat unleavened bread: and on the seventh day shall be a solemn assembly to the LORD thy God: thou shalt do no work therein.
[9]Seven weeks shalt thou number unto thee: begin to number the seven weeks from such time as thou beginnest to put the sickle to the corn.
[10]And thou shalt keep the feast of weeks unto the LORD thy God with a tribute of a freewill offering of thine hand, which thou shalt give unto the LORD thy God, according as the LORD thy God hath blessed thee:
[11]And thou shalt rejoice before the LORD thy God, thou, and thy son, and thy daughter, and thy manservant, and thy maidservant, and the Levite that is within thy gates, and the stranger, and the fatherless, and the widow, that are among you, in the place which the LORD thy God hath chosen to place his name there.
[12]And thou shalt remember that thou wast a bondman in Egypt: and thou shalt observe and do these statutes.
[13]Thou shalt observe the feast of tabernacles seven days, after that thou hast gathered in thy corn and thy wine:
[14]And thou shalt rejoice in thy feast, thou, and thy son, and thy daughter, and thy manservant, and thy maidservant, and the Levite, the stranger, and the fatherless, and the widow, that are within thy gates.
[15]Seven days shalt thou keep a solemn feast unto the LORD thy God in the place which the LORD shall choose: because the LORD thy God shall bless thee in all thine increase, and in all the works of thine hands, therefore thou shalt surely rejoice.

Leviticus 25:10
[10] And ye shall hallow the fiftieth year, and proclaim liberty throughout all the land unto all the inhabitants thereof: it shall be a jubile unto you; and ye shall return every man unto his possession, and ye shall return every man unto his family.
[11] A jubile shall that fiftieth year be unto you: ye shall not sow, neither reap that which groweth of itself in it, nor gather the grapes in it of thy vine undressed.
[12] For it is the jubile; it shall be holy unto you: ye shall eat the increase thereof out of the field.
[13] In the year of this jubile ye shall return every man unto his possession.
[14] And if thou sell ought unto thy neighbour, or buyest ought of thy neighbour's hand, ye shall not oppress one another:
[15] According to the number of years after the jubile thou shalt buy of thy neighbour, and according unto the number of years of the fruits he shall sell unto thee:

A Jubilee consist of 50 years,
- Year of Release
[1] At the end of every seven years thou shalt make a release.
[2] And this is the manner of the release: Every creditor that lendeth ought unto his neighbour shall release it; he shall not exact it of his neighbour, or of his brother; because it is called the Lord's release.
[3] Of a foreigner thou mayest exact it again: but that which is thine with thy brother thine hand shall release;
[4] Save when there shall be no poor among you; for the Lord shall greatly bless thee in the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee for an inheritance to possess it:
[5] Only if thou carefully hearken unto the voice of the Lord thy God, to observe to do all these commandments which I command thee this day.
[6] For the Lord thy God blesseth thee, as he promised thee: and thou shalt lend unto many nations, but thou shalt not borrow; and thou shalt reign over many nations, but they shall not reign over thee.
[7] If there be among you a poor man of one of thy brethren within any of thy gates in thy land which the Lord thy God giveth thee, thou shalt not harden thine heart, nor shut thine hand from thy poor brother:
[8] But thou shalt open thine hand wide unto him, and shalt surely lend him sufficient for his need, in that which he wanteth.
[9] Beware that there be not a thought in thy wicked heart, saying, The seventh year, the year of release, is at hand; and thine eye be evil against thy poor brother, and thou givest him nought; and he cry unto the Lord against thee, and it be sin unto thee.
