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,
Gen0114.
He appointed the moon for seasons, Ps10419.
While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease, Gen0822.
And the Lord spake unto Moses and Aaron
in the land of Egypt, saying, This month shall be unto you the
beginning of months: it shall be the first month of the year to
you, Exo1201,02.

The days of our years are threescore years and ten; and if by reason of strength they be fourscore years, Pss9010.
So all the generations from Abraham to David are fourteen generations; and from David until the carrying away into Babylon are fourteen generations; and from the carrying away into Babylon unto Christ are fourteen generations, Mat0117. (Which altogether is approximately three thousand years.)
