In the New Testament, it is used to describe the moon in both literal and symbolic contexts, often highlighting its role in the natural order and its significance in eschatological events.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Greek culture, the moon was personified as the goddess Selene, who was associated with the night and often depicted driving a chariot across the sky. In the Jewish context, the moon was part of the creation narrative and played a role in the Jewish calendar, marking the months and festivals. The moon's phases were significant for determining the timing of religious observances.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from selas (a bright flame)<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>the moon<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>moon (9).<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">Thayer's Greek Lexicon</div><span class="maintitle">STRONGS NT 4582: σελήνη</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">σελήνη</span></span>, <span class="greek2">σελήνης</span>, <span class="greek2">ἡ</span> (from <span class="greek2">σέλας</span> brightness), from <span class="abbreviation">Homer</span> down, Hebrew <span class="hebrew">יָרֵחַ</span>, <span class="accented">the moon</span>: <a href="/interlinear/matthew/24-29.htm">Matthew 24:29</a>; <a href="/interlinear/mark/13-24.htm">Mark 13:24</a>; <a href="/interlinear/luke/21-25.htm">Luke 21:25</a>; <a href="/interlinear/acts/2-20.htm">Acts 2:20</a>; <a href="/interlinear/1_corinthians/15-41.htm">1 Corinthians 15:41</a>; <a href="/interlinear/revelation/6-12.htm">Revelation 6:12</a>; <a href="/interlinear/revelation/8-12.htm">Revelation 8:12</a>; <a href="/interlinear/revelation/12-1.htm">Revelation 12:1</a>; <a href="/interlinear/revelation/21-23.htm">Revelation 21:23</a>.<FOOTNOTE:1> <br><br><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/bsoft.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe><div class="vheading2">Strong's Exhaustive Concordance</div>moon. <p>From selas (brilliancy; probably akin to the alternate of <a href="/greek/138.htm">haireomai</a>, through the idea of attractiveness); the moon -- moon. <p>see GREEK <a href="/greek/138.htm">haireomai</a> <div class="vheading2">Forms and Transliterations</div>σεληνη σελήνη σελήνῃ σελήνην σεληνης σελήνης selene selēnē selḗne selḗnē selḗnei selḗnēi selenes selēnēs selḗnes selḗnēs<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/matthew/24-29.htm" title="Biblos Lexicon">Matthew 24:29</a> <a href="/abbrev.htm" title="Noun -
