The day begins at sunrise
The calendar date changes when light returns. This differs from the evening-to-evening reckoning used in modern Judaism.

Understand the calendar in three steps
New to the 364-day calendar? These three ideas explain the system before the details.
The year contains 364 days
Four seasons of 91 days make exactly 52 weeks. The weekly cycle and appointed times keep their fixed places.
See the year structure →The appointed times stay ordered
Passover, Shabu’ot, Yom Kippur, Sukkot and the other appointed times fall on consistent weekdays.
Explore the feasts →The foundational premise
Light is named Day before evening is counted.
At sunrise the next calendar day begins. The Zadokite priests of Qumran held to this reckoning, and it is embedded in the 364-day calendar they kept.
“And Yahuah called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And there was evening and there was morning, the first day.”Genesis 1:5Read the scriptural and manuscript case →
Four seasons. Twelve months. Fifty-two weeks.
Each 91-day season contains two 30-day months and one 31-day month. The last day completes the season.

Preserved in the manuscripts
This is an ancient calendar claim, not a modern invention.
The 364-day pattern appears in the writings of Enoch and Jubilees and in calendar scrolls recovered near the Dead Sea. The site separates what the manuscripts state, what scholars conclude, and what the calendar model infers.
