Description
Ethanim in the text
Ethanim is the name of the seventh month in the ancient Hebrew calendar, as mentioned in 1Ki.8.2. This month corresponds to the modern months of September-October.
In the biblical account, the month of Ethanim is associated with the dedication of Solomon's Temple in Jerusalem. 1Ki.8.2 states that all the men of Israel assembled before King Solomon during the festival in the month of Ethanim, which is the seventh month. This festival likely refers to the Feast of Tabernacles or Sukkot, a major pilgrimage festival in the Jewish calendar.
The dedication of the Temple was a significant event in the history of Israel, marking the establishment of a permanent dwelling place for the Lord among His people. The Temple served as the central place of worship and sacrifice, where the Israelites could come to seek God's presence and offer their prayers and offerings.
The name "Ethanim" is believed to be derived from the Hebrew word "ethan," which means "strong" or "enduring." This name may refer to the strong flow of water in the rivers and streams.
Relations
Direct connections
Every entity the graph places in a stated relation with this one, grouped by the kind of link. Each relation is authored once and its inverse derived, so both ends always agree. Rows marked “registry” come from the identity spine rather than from a verse, and a row marked “which bearer is the source’s decision” is one where the name could have meant more than one person. The last group is not a relation at all — it counts the events two entities stand in together.
