Topical Lexicon Word Origin: From an unused root meaning to be yellowCorresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The corresponding Greek entry for the moon is Strong's G4582, σελήνη (selene), which also refers to the moon. This term is used in the New Testament, such as in Matthew 24:29, where it describes cosmic disturbances: "Immediately after the tribulation of those days: ‘The sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light; the stars will fall from the sky, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken.’" Usage: The term יָרֵחַ (Yareach) is used in the Hebrew Bible to refer to the moon, often in the context of its role in the celestial order, its creation by God, and its function in marking time and seasons. Context: יָרֵחַ (Yareach) appears in various contexts throughout the Hebrew Scriptures, emphasizing its significance in the natural world and religious observance. The moon is often mentioned alongside the sun, highlighting its role in the divine creation and order of the cosmos. For instance, in Genesis 1:16, the moon is described as the "lesser light" created by God to govern the night: "God made two great lights—the greater light to rule the day and the lesser light to rule the night. He made the stars as well." The moon's regular phases were crucial for the Hebrew calendar, marking months and religious festivals. In Psalm 104:19, the psalmist acknowledges the moon's role in timekeeping: "He made the moon to mark the seasons; the sun knows when to set."
