however, the decree may be issued immediately after New Year, and even so the intercalary month must be [the second] Adar'!<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' V. Sanh., Sonc. ed. p. 55 notes. (15) R. Joshua and R. Pappias. Sanh. ');">²⁷</span> - R'Nahman B'Isaac replied: What is meant here by 'leap years'? The closing of a leap year, as we have learnt: 'They's testified that the year may be declared a leap year throughout the whole of Adar, since others asserted that this could be done only until Purim.'<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' And once Purim had passed, the next month had to be Nisan of the next year and not the second Adar of the present year.');">²⁸</span> What was the reason of those who held that this could be done only until Purim? - Since a Master has stated that 'enquiries are made regarding the laws of Passover for thirty days before Passover,<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' I.e., the emissaries of the Beth din instructed the public on the matter during this time.');">²⁹</span> People might be led into neglecting the rules of leaven.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' If in the interval Passover was postponed for a month, they would not observe the new date of the Passover.');">³⁰</span> What says the other to this? - He says that people know that a leap year depends on calculation, and they say to themselves that the Rabbis have only now got the calculation right.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Lit., 'this calculation had not been completed by the Rabbis till now'.');">³¹</span> What of our Tanna?<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Why does he not include leap years.');">³²</span> - He speaks only of commencements, not of terminations.' And for the offering of shekalim'.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' In Adar a shekel had to be contributed by every Israelite for the purchase of congregational sacrifices during the coming year.');">³³</span> How do we know this [from Scripture]? - R'Josiah said: The Scripture says, This is the burnt-offering of each month in its month throughout the months of the year.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Num. XXVIII, 14.');">³⁴</span> The Torah here enjoins:<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' By the superfluous expression, 'throughout the months of the year'.');">³⁵</span> 'Renew [the year] and bring an offering from the new contributions'. That the 'year' here commences with Nisan is learnt by analogy with the text,<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' 'And we derive (the meaning of) " year"="" from="" "year"="" (commencing)="" with="" nisan'.');"="">³⁶</span> It is the first to you of the months o the year.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Ex.
