The Hebrew Bible's cultic calendars (found in Exodus 23, Exodus 34, Leviticus 23, Numbers 28-29, and Deuteronomy 16) propose a link between ritual time and the fixation of the annual calendar. These texts take part in an ancient Near Eastern mode of writing about rituals in connection with calendars that produced canonical texts, which, like the biblical calendars, outlasted the actual practice of the rituals they describe. Moreover, the connection of the festivals in the biblical calendars to the annual equinoxes demonstrates their ritualization of the passage of time. In this feature and other thematic elements, they participate in a shared nexus of ritual ideas that can be seen in documents describing other ancient Near Eastern equinoctial festivals
