However, the Greek term "δεκάτη" (dekate) refers to the tenth, which is used in the context of months in the Septuagint.<p><span class="tophdg">Usage: </span>Adar is the twelfth month of the Hebrew calendar, corresponding to February-March in the Gregorian calendar. It is a month of joy and celebration, most notably for the festival of Purim, which commemorates the deliverance of the Jewish people as recorded in the Book of Esther.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the Jewish tradition, Adar is considered a month of happiness and good fortune. The Talmud states, "When Adar enters, joy increases" (Taanit 29a). This is largely due to the celebration of Purim, which marks the salvation of the Jews from Haman's plot to annihilate them. Historically, Adar was also a time for collecting the half-shekel tax for the maintenance of the Temple in Jerusalem.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>(Aramaic) corresponding to <a href="/hebrew/143.htm">Adar</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>the twelfth month in the Jewish calendar<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>Adar (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">Strong's Exhaustive Concordance</div>Adar <p>(Aramaic) corresponding to <a href="/hebrew/143.htm">'Adar</a> -- Adar. <p>see HEBREW <a href="/hebrew/143.htm">'Adar</a> <div class="vheading2">Forms and Transliterations</div>אֲדָ֑ר אדר<div class="vheading2">Links</div><a href="/interlinear/matthew/1-1.htm">Interlinear Greek</a> • <a href="/interlinear/genesis/1-1.htm">Interlinear Hebrew</a> • <a href="/strongs.htm">Strong's Numbers</a> • <a href="/englishmans_greek.htm">Englishman's Greek Concordance</a> • <a href="/englishmans_hebrew.htm">Englishman's Hebrew Concordance</a> • <a href="/texts/matthew/1-1.htm">Parallel Texts</a></div></div><div id="centbox"><div class="padcent"><div class="vheading">Englishman's Concordance</div><b><a href="/text/ezra/6-15.htm" title="Biblos Lexicon">Ezra 6:15</a> </b><br><a href="/interlinear/ezra/6.htm" title="Hebrew">HEB:</a> <span class="hebrew3">תְּלָתָ֖ה לִירַ֣ח <b> אֲדָ֑ר </b> דִּי־ הִ֣יא</span><br><a href="http://biblehub.com/nas/ezra/6.htm" title="New American Standard Bible">NAS:</a> of the month <span class="itali">Adar;</span> it was the sixth<br><a href="/kjvs/ezra/6.htm" title="King James Bible with Strong's">KJV:</a> of the month <span class="itali">Adar,</span> which was<br><a href="/interlinear/ezra/6-15.htm" title="Biblos Interlinear Bible">INT:</a> the third of the month <span class="itali">Adar</span> forasmuch which was<p><i><a href="/hebrew/strongs_144.htm">1 Occurrence</a></i><br /><br /><b><a href="/hebrew/strongs_144.htm">Strong's Hebrew 144<br>1 Occurrence</a></b><br><br><a href="/hebrew/adar_144.htm">’ă·ḏār — 1 Occ.</a><br></div></div></td></tr></table></div><div id="mdd"><div align="center"><div class="bot2"><table align="center" width="100%"><tr><td><div align="center"> <script id="3d27ed63fc4348d5b062c4527ae09445"> (new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=51ce25d5-1a8c-424a-8695-4bd48c750f35&cid=3a9f82d0-4344-4f8d-ac0c-e1a0eb43a405'; </script> <script id="b817b7107f1d4a7997da1b3c33457e03"> (new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=cb0edd8b-b416-47eb-8c6d-3cc96561f7e8&cid=3a9f82d0-4344-4f8d-ac0c-e1a0eb43a405'; </script><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-2'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-0' style='max-width: 300px;'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-3'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-1' style='max-width: 300px;'> </div><br /><br />  <div align="center" id='div-gpt-ad-1531425649696-0'> </div><br /><br /> <ins class="adsbygoogle" style="display:inline-block;width:200px;height:200px" data-ad-client="ca-pub-3753401421161123" data-ad-slot="3592799687"></ins> <script> (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); </script><br /><br /> </div> <div id="left"><a href="/hebrew/143.htm" onmouseover='lft.src="/leftgif.png"' onmouseout='lft.src="/left.png"' title="143"><img src="/left.png" name="lft" border="0" alt="143" /></a></div><div id="right"><a href="/hebrew/145.htm" onmouseover='rght.src="/rightgif.png"' onmouseout='rght.src="/right.png"' title="145"><img src="/right.png" name="rght" border="0" alt="145" /></a></div><div id="botleft"><a href="#" onmouseover='botleft.src="/botleftgif.png"' onmouseout='botleft.src="/botleft.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botleft.png" name="botleft" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="botright"><a href="#" onmouseover='botright.src="/botrightgif.png"' onmouseout='botright.src="/botright.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botright.png" name="botright" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="bot"><iframe width="100%" height="1500" scrolling="no" src="/botmenubhchap.htm" frameborder="0"></iframe></div></td></tr></table></div></body></html>
