Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries:There is no direct Greek equivalent for the Hebrew month "Bul" in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as the Greek calendar system was different from the Hebrew one.
Usage:In the Hebrew Bible, "Bul" refers to the eighth month of the ancient Hebrew calendar. It corresponds roughly to the modern months of October and November. The term is used to denote a specific time of the year, particularly in relation to agricultural activities and the completion of the harvest season.
Cultural and Historical Background:The Hebrew calendar was primarily agricultural, with months often named after the agricultural activities or natural phenomena associated with them. Bul, as the eighth month, marked the end of the harvest season and the beginning of the rainy season in Israel. This was a time of transition from gathering crops to preparing the land for the next planting season. The name "Bul" itself is thought to be related to the idea of produce or increase, reflecting the abundance of the harvest.
