The Hebrew calendar, which is lunisolar, consists of months that are based on the cycles of the moon. This calendar is evident throughout the Old Testament and plays a significant role in the timing of festivals, agricultural cycles, and religious rituals. Hebrew Months and Their Significance The Hebrew calendar comprises twelve months, with a thirteenth month added periodically to align the lunar months with the solar year. The months are as follows: 1. Nisan (Abib): The first month of the Hebrew calendar, Nisan is significant for the Passover festival, commemorating the Israelites' exodus from Egypt. In <a href="/exodus/12-2.htm">Exodus 12:2</a>, God instructs Moses, "This month is to be the beginning of months for you; it is the first month of your year." 2. Iyar (Ziv): The second month, Iyar, is mentioned in <a href="/1_kings/6.htm">1 Kings 6:1</a>, marking the beginning of the construction of Solomon's Temple. 3. Sivan: The third month, Sivan, is when the Feast of Weeks (Shavuot) is celebrated, marking the giving of the Torah at Mount Sinai. 4. Tammuz: The fourth month, Tammuz, is noted for the fast commemorating the breach of Jerusalem's walls. 5. Av: The fifth month, Av, is a time of mourning for the destruction of the First and Second Temples. 6. Elul: The sixth month, Elul, is a period of repentance leading up to the High Holy Days. 7. Tishri (Ethanim): The seventh month is rich with festivals, including the Feast of Trumpets (Rosh Hashanah), the Day of Atonement (Yom Kippur), and the Feast of Tabernacles (Sukkot). <a href="/leviticus/23-24.htm">Leviticus 23:24-27</a> outlines these observances. 8. Cheshvan (Bul): The eighth month, Cheshvan, is noted in <a href="/1_kings/6-38.htm">1 Kings 6:38</a> as the month when Solomon completed the Temple. 9. Kislev: The ninth month, Kislev, includes the celebration of Hanukkah, though this is not mentioned in the Old Testament. 10. Tevet: The tenth month, Tevet, includes a fast commemorating the siege of Jerusalem. 11. Shevat: The eleventh month, Shevat, is noted in <a href="/zechariah/1-7.htm">Zechariah 1:7</a>. 12. Adar: The twelfth month, Adar, is significant for the celebration of Purim, as described in the Book of Esther. Biblical References to Months The Bible frequently references months in relation to events and religious observances. For example, in <a href="/genesis/7-11.htm">Genesis 7:11</a>, the timing of the flood is described: "In the six hundredth year of Noah’s life, on the seventeenth day of the second month—on that day all the springs of the great deep burst forth, and the floodgates of the heavens were opened." In the New Testament, months are less frequently mentioned, but the Jewish calendar still underpins the timing of events. For instance, the Feast of Passover, which occurs in Nisan, is central to the narrative of Jesus' crucifixion and resurrection. Cultural and Religious Importance The Hebrew months are not merely a means of marking time but are deeply embedded in the religious and cultural life of the Jewish people. Each month carries its own spiritual significance and is often associated with specific themes and historical events. The observance of festivals and fasts according to the lunar calendar is a testament to the enduring legacy of the biblical calendar in Jewish tradition. The biblical understanding of months underscores the rhythm of life as ordained by God, with each month offering opportunities for worship, reflection, and remembrance. The cyclical nature of the calendar reflects the ongoing relationship between God and His people, as they commemorate His acts of salvation and provision throughout history.<a name="grk" id="grk"></a><div class="vheading2">Greek</div><a href="/greek/5072.htm">5072. tetramenos -- of four months</a> ... of four months.
