Biblical Understanding based on the Record of Scripture
YHVH created the sun and the moon and set them in the heavens, in part, to show when to observe His Festivals. The date listed on this calendar for the start of the 1st month and the 7th month is based on the first projected sighting, after sunset, of the renewing of the light of the moon.
Hebrews 12:3-5 NKJV
For consider Him, who endured such hostility from sinners against Himself, lest you become weary and discouraged in your souls.
You have not yet resisted to bloodshed (torture or death), striving against sin.
And you have forgotten the exhortation which speaks to you as sons: My son, do not despise the chastening of the LORD (Father), nor be discouraged when you are rebuked (corrected) by Him:
For whom the LORD (Father) loves He chastens (disciplines) and scourges every son He receives.
