Second Harvest of the Year after Barley harvest (Exodus 9:31-32) One of the regular divisions of the year (Exodus 34:22; Judges 15:1; 1 Samuel 12:17) Begins at the time of Pentecost (Md-May to Mid-June)i

The Gezer Calendar is a stone tablet found at Tel Gezer in 1908, which archeologists have dated to the time of Solomon (c. 10th century BCE). This agricultural calendar gives insight into the timing of the harvests and planting seasons in Ancient Israel. The list begins with the first month of the civil calendar (Tishri) and accounts for all twelve months (or moons) of the year.
