Berean Strong's Lexicon Chodesh: Month, New Moon Original Word: חֹדֶשׁ Word Origin: Derived from the root חָדַשׁ (chadash), meaning "to be new" or "to renew." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G3376 (mēn): Refers to a month or the time of the new moon. - G3561 (noumēnia): Specifically denotes the new moon or the festival of the new moon. Usage: The term "Chodesh" primarily refers to the "new moon" and, by extension, the "month" in the Hebrew calendar, which is lunar-based. It signifies the beginning of a new month, marked by the first visible crescent of the moon. In the Hebrew Bible, "Chodesh" is often associated with religious observances and the timing of festivals. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, the new moon was a significant event, marking the start of a new month. It was a time for religious observance, including sacrifices and offerings, as outlined in Numbers 28:11-15. The new moon was also a time for communal gatherings and celebrations. The lunar calendar was central to the timing of Israel's religious festivals, such as Passover and the Feast of Tabernacles, which were calculated based on the new moon.
