The Hebrews in Babylon picked up many things from the pagans. In fact, the names of our Hebrew months are all Babylonian names!!
Rosh HaShana comes 30 days after the beginning of the month followed 10 days later by Yom Kippur (40 days after the beginning of the month). The 30 days refers to the basics needed for Judaism, honoring our Creator. The 40 days is the typical purification period needed for this day of purification!!
