Strong's Lexicon Yarcha: Month Original Word: יַרְחָה Part of Speech: Proper Name Masculine Transliteration: Yarcha Pronunciation: yar-KHAH Phonetic Spelling: (yar-khaw') Definition: Month Meaning: Jarcha Word Origin: Derived from the root יָרֵחַ (yareach), meaning "moon" or "month." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent for "month" is μήν (mēn), Strong's Greek #3376, which is used in the New Testament to denote months in a similar manner. Usage: The term "Yarcha" is used in the Hebrew Bible to denote a "month," which is a division of time based on the lunar cycle. In ancient Israel, the calendar was primarily lunar, with months beginning with the new moon. This term is used to mark time and organize the religious and agricultural activities of the Israelites. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, the lunar calendar was central to religious life. Each month began with the sighting of the new moon, and this event was often marked by the blowing of trumpets and special sacrifices (Numbers 10:10). The months were used to determine the timing of festivals, such as Passover and the Feast of Tabernacles, which were crucial for maintaining the covenant relationship with God. The lunar calendar also influenced agricultural practices, as certain tasks were performed in specific months.
