Usage

The Hebrew word "shenath" is used to denote a "year" in the context of time. It is often used in the Hebrew Bible to mark the passage of time, to denote the age of individuals, or to specify the duration of events. The concept of a year in ancient Israel was primarily based on the lunar calendar, which was adjusted periodically to align with the solar year.
