In a time and place where those terms were meaningless the counting of the year was based on food production, or celestial worship. They did not count days because then it was thought the earth was the center and the sun move around it.
The point being a year then was not 365 1/4 days. So to count a year then as you do now makes you a fool.
So what is your argument? That the Earths orbital period 6000 years ago was different to now?
No. My arguement states that if "we" (6000 years ago) did not know the earth revolved around the sun, then 365 1/4 day year was not how years were counted. They were counted by harvest cycles or celestial events. Some of which could take longer than a 365 day year while other took less time.
Again the Hebrew word year does not mean 365 days it represents a completed time cycle like what a year represents to us.
Again in this culture days were not counted and marked as we mark them, so to assume your measure of a year was their measure of a year is foolish.
