However, the concept of months and timekeeping can be related to Greek terms like μήν (mēn, G3376) for "month."<p><span class="tophdg">Usage: </span>Shebat is the name of the eleventh month in the Hebrew lunar calendar. It typically corresponds to January-February in the Gregorian calendar. In the Bible, Shebat is mentioned in the context of dating events, particularly in the post-exilic period.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>Shebat is significant in Jewish tradition as it marks the time when the sap in trees begins to rise, signaling the approach of spring. This month includes the celebration of Tu BiShvat, the "New Year of the Trees," which is a time for planting trees and celebrating the produce of the land. In ancient Israel, this period was crucial for agricultural planning and preparation for the upcoming growing season.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>of foreign origin<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>eleventh month in the Jewish calendar<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>Shebat (1).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> <font class="hebrew2">שְׁבָט</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>proper name, month</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>Shebat, 11th month</b></font> (post-exilic) = Feb.-March; loan-word from Babylonian <i><em>Šabâ‰u</em></i> (COT<sup>Nehemiah 1:1</sup> Dl<sup>WB</sup>), <a href="/interlinear/zechariah/1-7.htm">Zechariah 1:7</a> (derived from <i><em>šabâ‰u</em></i>, <em>strike, kill destroy</em> (Dl<sup>Prol 38</sup>; WB), Lyon<sup>Bib Sacr Apr.
