a month
A measure of time based on the cycle of the moon, typically 'month,' but in rarer cases also refers to the moon itself as a celestial body. The dominant use is as a temporal division, corresponding to the period from one new moon to the next in the ancient Israelite lunar calendar. In poetic or archaic passages, it may refer concretely or metaphorically to the physical moon.
