const HEBREW_LUNATION_TIME: i32 = _; // 765_433i32
Expand description

The amount of time a Hebrew lunation takes (in ḥalakim). This is not exactly the amount of time taken by one revolution of the moon (the real world seldom has events that are perfect integer multiples of 1080ths of an hour), but it is what the Hebrew calendar uses. This does mean that there will be drift over time with the actual state of the celestial sphere, however that is irrelevant since the actual state of the celestial sphere is not what is used for the Hebrew calendar.

This is 29-12-793 in zero-indexed notation. It is equal to 765433ḥal. From Adjler Appendix A
