In the original Hebrew calendar, years number 3, 6, 8, 11, 14, 17, and 19 within a 19-year pattern (makhzor, plural:makhzorim) are leap. When converted to [[19edo]], this results in [[5L 2s]] mode, and simply the diatonic major scale.  
In the original Hebrew calendar, years number 3, 6, 8, 11, 14, 17, and 19 within a 19-year pattern (makhzor, plural:makhzorim) are leap. When converted to [[19edo]], this results in [[5L 2s]] mode, and simply the diatonic major scale.  


Following this logic, a temperament can be constructed for the Rectified Hebrew calendar (see below), containing 130 notes of the 353edo scale. Hebrew[130] scale has 334\353 as its generator, which is a supermajor seventh, or alternately, 19\353, about a third-tone, since inverting the generator has no effect on the scale. Such a temperament gives 19edo a unique stretch: 6\19 corresponds to [[5/4]], 13\19 corresponds to [[13/8]], and 15\19 corresponds to [[7/4]]. When measured relative to the generator, the error is less than 1 in 5000.

Using such small of a generator helps explore the 353edo's "upside down" side. In addition, every sub-pattern in a 19-note generator is actually a Hebrew makhzor, that is a mini-19edo on its own, until it is truncated to an 11-note pattern. Just as the original calendar reform consists of 18 makhzorim with 1 hendecaeteris, Hebrew[130] scale consists of a stack of naively 18 "major scales" finished with one 11-edo tetratonic.

353bbbbb val offers the following resolution sequence: 7/4 D7 - 13/8 D4/3 - D53 - T53. This has a very pleasant sound, with 13/8 acting as a "doubled resolvant" or "resolution into resolution". In the patent val, 169/168 amounts to 3 steps, which is the L step of the full 93L 37s rectified Hebrew scale.

18L 1s of Rectified Hebrew gives 19edo a unique stretch: 6\19 corresponds to [[5/4]], 13\19 corresponds to [[13/8]], and 15\19 corresponds to [[7/4]]. When measured relative to the generator, the error is less than 1 in 5000. 7\19 corresponds to [[13/10]] when measured using the patent val (1306 - 820 - 353 = 133), however the direct approximation using the number is 134 steps. Since patent val is used to define if a comma is "tempered out", repeatedly stacking 7\19 3 times and reducing arrives at 46\353, an approximation for [[35/32]]. The approach using 134 is inconistent by itself already, so therefore it can't be used.


Just as a large amount of [[12edo]] music can be played consistently in 19edo, it can also be played consistently in the 18L 1s subset of Rectified Hebrew.
