Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from an unused root meaning to be yellow; a month as a lunar cycle.Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The corresponding Greek entry is Strong's G3376, μήν (mēn), which also refers to a month. This Greek term is used in the New Testament to denote months in a similar manner, reflecting the continuity of lunar-based timekeeping from the Hebrew tradition into the Greek-speaking world of the New Testament era. Usage: The term יֶרַח is used in the Hebrew Bible to denote a month, specifically in the context of a lunar cycle. It is often used in historical and chronological contexts to specify time periods. Context: יֶרַח (Yerah) is a Hebrew term that refers to a month, particularly in the context of the lunar calendar used in ancient Israel. The lunar calendar was central to the religious and agricultural life of the Israelites, with months beginning with the new moon. This term is used in various passages to denote specific months or to mark the passage of time. For example, in 1 Kings 6:37-38, the construction of the temple is described in terms of months, indicating the importance of this unit of time in historical records. The use of יֶרַח highlights the Israelites' reliance on the lunar cycle for their calendar, which was integral to their festivals and agricultural practices. The term is also used in poetic and prophetic literature to symbolize the passage of time and the cycles of nature.
