Month; a period of time defined by the lunar cycle, approximately 29-30 days. In biblical Aramaic contexts, יְרַח refers to a full lunar month, lining up with the calendar system in use among the ancient Mesopotamian and Persian administrations. The term is used to designate civil or cultic months, often in official contexts such as decrees, records, or narratives referring to events dated by the lunar calendar. The primary sense is temporal, not ritual or agricultural.
