See Book of Enoch again. Both are designed to round to 360 in months of 30. But the deficiency of about 11 days is designed to round to 1/3, 2/5, or 3/8 of a month per year (note anticipation of Fibonacci), with the out-of-phase cycle requiring people not to speak rashly but to recognize layering in the revelation.
The moon is also designed to round to 4 weeks and thus festivals are placed at the 4 quarters of the lunar cycle (weekly). This approximates Sabbath (though Sabbath is an inviolate weekly cycle and thus different from both). The 1/3 cycle is then reflected in tying feasts to the 10th of the month as well. In the pentecontad calendar, the 20th of the month was a festival for being the 50th of the previous month. People liked approximations and simple fractions that didn't have to be exact back then.
Yes, and the system is still recognized as incomplete. And for those who want the exact irregular movement of the earth, we've grown a library of when leap seconds have been irregularly inserted into the calendar too, which is another cumulative idiosyncrasy that has no resolution. God intends irrationality that can't be approximated with any simple formula.
While it exists as perfect ideation, in material reality, no straight lines or perfect circles exist in the material world, which falls short of perfection as careful measurement will affirm. The Nature of Things.

Leap year is still used as correction.
