In the Hebrew bible, the moon marked the change in season, the new moon was a day when prophets heard from Yahweh, and was significant. So it was like God's clock. Basically from the new moon to the new moon is a month. Don't get sucked into pagan crap though, but according to the bible the moon and sun and stars are for signs and to mark seasons. This does NOT mean astrology is ok, and all that crap. The new moon marked the feast of trumpets(Leviticus 23:24-25)
Psalm 81:3; Isaiah 66:23; Psalm 104:19; Ezekiel 46:1;
Psalm 81:3 Blow up the trumpet in the new moon, in the time appointed, on our solemn feast day.
Isaiah 66:23 And it shall come to pass, that from one new moon to another, and from one sabbath to another, shall all flesh come to worship before me, saith the Lord. Psalm 104:19 “He appointed the moon for seasons: the sun knoweth his going down.”
Ezekiel 46:1 “Thus saith the Lord GOD; The gate of the inner court that looketh toward the east shall be shut the six working days; but on the sabbath it shall be opened, and in the day of the new moon it shall be opened.”
Leviticus 23:24-25 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.
Colossians 2:16-17 King James Version 16 Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days: 17 Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ.
The feast of trumpets took place on the first day of the 7th month.
Genesis 1:14 kjv “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:”
Ecclesiastes 3: 1 To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven: 2 A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted; 3 A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up; 4 A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance; 5 A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing; 6 A time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away; 7 A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak; 8 A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace. 9 What profit hath he that worketh in that wherein he laboureth? 10 I have seen the travail, which God hath given to the sons of men to be exercised in it. 11 He hath made every thing beautiful in his time: also he hath set the world in their heart, so that no man can find out the work that God maketh from the beginning to the end.
