Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for Ethanim, as it is a specific Hebrew month name. However, related concepts of time and festivals can be found in Greek entries such as G1859 (heortē - feast) and G3565 (nēsteia - fasting).

Usage: Ethanim is the name of the seventh month in the Hebrew calendar, corresponding to the modern months of September-October. It is a time associated with the autumnal equinox and the beginning of the rainy season in Israel. The name Ethanim suggests a sense of permanence and continuity, reflecting the enduring cycles of nature.

Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, Ethanim was a significant month due to its association with major religious festivals. It is during this month that the Feast of Trumpets (Rosh Hashanah), the Day of Atonement (Yom Kippur), and the Feast of Tabernacles (Sukkot) are celebrated. These festivals are times of reflection, repentance, and rejoicing, marking the spiritual renewal of the community. The month of Ethanim is also linked to the dedication of Solomon's Temple, as recorded in the Bible.
