Strong's Lexicon Sivan: Sivan Original Word: סִיוָן Word Origin: Derived from Akkadian "simanu," meaning "season" or "time." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for the month of Sivan in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as the Greek calendar system was different from the Hebrew one. However, the Greek term for Pentecost (Strong's Greek 4005: Πεντηκοστή, Pentēkostē) is related to the festival occurring in Sivan. Usage: Sivan is the name of the third month in the Hebrew calendar, corresponding to late May and early June in the Gregorian calendar. It is a post-exilic term used to denote a specific time of the year in the Jewish calendar. Cultural and Historical Background: Sivan is significant in Jewish tradition as it is the month in which the festival of Shavuot (Pentecost) occurs. Shavuot commemorates the giving of the Torah at Mount Sinai and is one of the three major pilgrimage festivals in Judaism. Historically, the month of Sivan is associated with the agricultural cycle, marking the end of the barley harvest and the beginning of the wheat harvest in ancient Israel.
