Yes, for no appearant reason, other than the traditional reflection
upon the calendar by the translators. This is not a henious error, but
an example of how careless use of contemporary language can
incorporate unintended meaning, and perhaps influence wrongly.

The word of God is precious!

If anyone has more specific information on this particular verse, I
would love to hear it.
