The Hebrew Calendar consists of 12 months in a non-leap year and 13 months in a leap year. According to the Book of Exodus, each month was referenced by a number from 1 to 12 (i.e. first month, second month, third month, etc). However, sometime during the Babylonian Exile each month became associated with a Babylonian name. [1]
