Strong's Lexicon Yerach: Month Original Word: יֶרַח Word Origin: Derived from the root יָרֵחַ (yareach), meaning "moon." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G3376 (μήν - mēn), which also means "month" in Greek. Usage: The Hebrew word "Yerach" primarily refers to a "month," which is a division of time based on the lunar cycle. In the ancient Hebrew calendar, months were typically determined by the phases of the moon, with each new moon marking the beginning of a new month. This term is used in the Bible to denote periods of time and is often associated with the agricultural and religious calendar of Israel. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, the lunar calendar was central to both agricultural and religious life. The Hebrew calendar consisted of twelve months, each beginning with the sighting of the new moon. This lunar system was crucial for determining the timing of festivals, agricultural activities, and religious observances. The concept of "Yerach" reflects the close relationship between the Israelites and the natural world, as well as their dependence on divine order and timing.
