However, the concept of the full moon is present in the Greek New Testament, often associated with the timing of Passover and other feasts.<p><span class="tophdg">Usage: </span>The Hebrew word "kese" or "keseh" refers to the full moon. It is used in the context of marking time, particularly in relation to the lunar calendar that was significant in ancient Israelite culture. The full moon was an important marker for certain festivals and religious observances.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israel, the lunar calendar played a crucial role in determining the timing of religious festivals and agricultural activities. The full moon, or "kese," was a significant phase in this calendar. It marked the middle of the lunar month and was often associated with the celebration of festivals such as Passover and the Feast of Tabernacles. The full moon was seen as a time of completeness and was often linked to themes of light and revelation in the biblical narrative.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>of uncertain derivation<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>full moon<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>full moon (3).<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">כֶּ֫סֶא</font> <a href="/interlinear/proverbs/7-20.htm">Proverbs 7:20</a>, <font class="hebrew2">כֶּ֫סֶה</font> <a href="/interlinear/psalms/81-4.htm">Psalm 81:4</a> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun [masculine]</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>full moon</b></font> (compare Aramaic <img src="/bdbgif/bdb049005.gif">;
