Strong's Lexicon Bul: Bul Original Word: בּוּל Word Origin: Derived from an unused root meaning to rain Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for the Hebrew month of Bul, as the Greek calendar system was different from the Hebrew one. However, the concept of months and seasons is addressed in various Greek terms related to time and agriculture. Usage: In the Hebrew calendar, "Bul" refers to the eighth month, which corresponds to the modern months of October-November. It is mentioned in the context of the agricultural cycle, particularly as a time of rain and harvest. Cultural and Historical Background: The month of Bul is significant in the ancient Hebrew calendar as it marks the beginning of the rainy season in Israel. This period was crucial for agriculture, as the rains were necessary for the growth of crops planted earlier in the year. The name "Bul" itself is thought to be related to the concept of rain, highlighting its importance during this time. In the ancient Near Eastern context, the agricultural cycle was deeply intertwined with religious observances and festivals, reflecting the dependence of the people on God's provision through the natural order.
