Topical Lexicon

Word Origin: From νέος (neos, meaning "new") and μήν (mēn, meaning "month").

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - H2320 (חֹדֶשׁ, chodesh): Refers to the new moon or month, often used in the context of the lunar calendar and religious observances.
- H3394 (יָרֵחַ, yareach): While primarily meaning "moon," it is sometimes associated with the new moon in the context of timekeeping and festivals.

Usage: The word νεομηνία is used in the context of marking the beginning of a new month, which was traditionally observed with specific sacrifices and celebrations in ancient Israelite culture. It is mentioned in the New Testament in relation to Jewish customs and practices.

Context: The concept of νεομηνία, or the new moon, holds significant importance in the biblical context, particularly within the Old Testament. The new moon marked the beginning of each month in the Hebrew calendar and was a time of religious observance. In Numbers 10:10, the Israelites were commanded to blow trumpets over their burnt offerings and fellowship offerings at the beginning of each month. The new moon was a time for special sacrifices, as outlined in Numbers 28:11-15, where specific offerings were prescribed for this occasion.

In the New Testament, the observance of the new moon is mentioned in Colossians 2:16, where Paul advises believers not to let anyone judge them regarding food, drink, or the observance of festivals, new moons, or Sabbaths. This reflects the transition from the old covenant practices to the new covenant in Christ, where such observances were no longer obligatory for believers.

The new moon was also a time for communal gatherings and feasting, as seen in 1 Samuel 20:5, where David mentions the new moon festival. It was a time of renewal and reflection, symbolizing new beginnings and the cyclical nature of time as ordained by God.
