and...?

What happens?

I got 80.75. Is that supposed to mean something?

Yes. Methuselah supposedly lived 969 years. But the 365 day calendar didn’t exist back then. Lunar calendars were more common. So dividing 969 by 12 equals 80.75, a more reasonable lifespan.

I think Ezekiel described Thale’s eclipse with his ‘wheel within a wheel’.

A lunar cycle is only 28 days. That would mean a year of 13.04 months (13 is close enough among Yea Forumsros).

So 969 / 13 = 74.5 years.

Not too shabby and much more reasonable than a near millennium. Thanks for the info Yea Forumsro.

I'm gonna go commit the sin of Onan now.

I hadn’t thought of that.

Why are we dividing by anything? A year is a year. It's a rotation around the sun. They understood that. The Hebrew lunar calendar is 11 days shorter than calendars used today and they added a "leap month" every couple years to try to make up for it.

Now, everything about the story is horseshit, but at least use some logic.
