◄ 144. Adar ►
Strong's Lexicon Adar: Adar Original Word: אֲדָר Part of Speech: Noun Transliteration: Adar Pronunciation: ah-DAR Phonetic Spelling: (ad-awr') Definition: Adar Meaning: Adar is the name of the twelfth month in the Jewish calendar. It corresponds to the late winter period, typically February to March in the Gregorian calendar. Word Origin: Of foreign origin Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for the month of Adar in the Strong's Concordance, as the Greek calendar system differs from the Hebrew one. However, references to the Jewish calendar months can be found in the context of New Testament events, such as Passover, which occurs in the month of Nisan, following Adar. Usage: The term "Adar" is used in the context of the Jewish calendar to denote the twelfth month. It is mentioned in the context of events and decrees that occur during this time. Context: Adar is the twelfth month of the Jewish ecclesiastical year and the sixth month of the civil year. It is a month of significant historical and religious importance for the Jewish people. The month of Adar is notable for the celebration of Purim, a festival commemorating the deliverance of the Jewish people from a plot to annihilate them, as recorded in the Book of Esther. The events leading to the establishment of Purim occurred during the reign of King Ahasuerus (Xerxes I) of Persia. The decree for the destruction of the Jews was issued in the month of Nisan, but the casting of lots (Pur) determined that the execution of the decree would take place in Adar. However, through the intervention of Queen Esther and Mordecai, the Jews were granted the right to defend themselves, leading to their victory over their enemies. The month of Adar is thus associated with joy and celebration, as expressed in Esther 9:22: "as the days on which the Jews gained relief from their enemies, and as the month when their sorrow was turned into joy and their mourning into a day of celebration." In leap years, an additional month, Adar II, is added to the calendar to align it with the solar year, with Purim celebrated in Adar II.
