Joseph offered an objection: It is written Haggai ii. 10 "In the twenty-fourth day of the sixth month, in the second year of Darius," and it is also written ibid. 1 "In the second year, in the seventh month, in the one and twentieth day of the mouth." If the rule is that Tishri (the seventh month) is the beginning of years for non-Jewish kings, should not the Text read " in the third year of Darius" instead of the second year? R.

And secondly: How can you compare these texts! In the one place it speaks of Cyrus, and in the other, of Darius! This remains unanswered. "And For Festivals."
