יָרֵ֥חַ
𐤉𐤓𐤇
yârêach
moon
The celestial body known as the moon; in Hebrew, יָרֵחַ refers specifically to the physical moon observed in the sky. The term also carries connotations of lunar cycles, which informed calendar reckoning and agricultural festivals. In rare extended usage, it may denote 'monthly cycle' or a 'month' by association with the moon's phases, but this is more properly the domain of the related noun יֶרַח.
