Ethanim

Ethanim (meaning strong or valiant, possibly from perennial streams) was the seventh month of the ancient Hebrew sacred calendar, corresponding to the later Babylonian name Tishri, spanning approximately September–October. It is mentioned by name in 1 Kings 8:2 as the month in which Solomon assembled all Israel to Jerusalem for the dedication of the temple and the transfer of the ark. The month contained the great autumn festivals: the Feast of Trumpets (Rosh Hashanah) on the first day, the Day of Atonement on the tenth, and the Feast of Tabernacles from the fifteenth to the twenty-second. After the Babylonian exile, the month was regularly called Tishri, the name still used in the Jewish calendar.
