Strong's Lexicon yareach: Moon Original Word: יָרֵחַ Word Origin: From an unused root meaning to be yellow Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G4582 (selene): The Greek word for moon, used in the New Testament, such as in Matthew 24:29. Usage: The Hebrew word "yareach" refers to the moon, a celestial body that is a significant part of the natural order created by God. It is often mentioned in the context of timekeeping, seasons, and as a part of the heavenly bodies that declare the glory of God. The moon is also used metaphorically in Scripture to describe beauty and constancy. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, the moon played a crucial role in the lunar calendar, which was used to determine the timing of religious festivals and agricultural cycles. The new moon marked the beginning of months, and special offerings were made during new moon celebrations (Numbers 28:11-15). The moon, along with the sun, was seen as a testament to God's creative power and order in the universe.
