| Sirach 43:8 | The month is called after her name, increasing wonderfully in her perfection. | Name. Meni is used for the moon, (Jeremias 65:11.) which resembles the Greek men, "month." This is also derived from mene, "the moon." We know not what Hebrew words were used, Ecclesiasticus 6:23. The two former may both come from manah, "to divide." |
