chodesh: Month, New Moon

Original Word: חֹדֶשׁ
Part of Speech: Noun Masculine
Transliteration: chodesh
Pronunciation: kho'-desh
Phonetic Spelling: (kho'-desh)
Definition: Month, New Moon
Meaning: the new moon, a month

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 concept of a "new moon" or "month" in the Hebrew calendar. It signifies the beginning of a new lunar cycle, which was crucial for timekeeping in ancient Israel. The new moon marked the start of each month and was often associated with religious observances and offerings.

Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, the lunar calendar was central to religious and agricultural life. The new moon, or "chodesh," was a significant event, often marked by special sacrifices and celebrations (Numbers 28:11-15). It was a time for communal gatherings and worship, as seen in passages like 1 Samuel 20:5, where David mentions the new moon festival. The new moon also played a role in determining the timing of major feasts and festivals, such as Passover and the Feast of Tabernacles.
