Usage: The Hebrew word "kese" or "keseh" refers to the full moon. It is used in the context of marking time, particularly in relation to the lunar calendar that was significant in ancient Israelite culture. The full moon was an important marker for certain festivals and religious observances. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, the lunar calendar played a crucial role in determining the timing of religious festivals and agricultural activities. The full moon, or "kese," was a significant phase in this calendar.

The full moon was seen as a time of completeness and was often linked to themes of light and revelation in the biblical narrative.
