We have leap years about every four years. But because a leap day overcompensates by 11 minutes and 14 seconds, we skip adding a leap day three times over every four centuries.
So the are two options for calculations of year span: lunar (354 days) and 12 months of 30 days each (resulting in 360 days).

But there is no mention in the bible of leap years as means of coping with the lack of days.
