Changes

Large, the sixth [[Month (EBD)|month ]] of the civil and the twelfth of the ecclesiastical [[Year (EBD)|year ]] of the [[Jew (EBD)|Jews ]] (Esther 3:7, 13; 8:12; 9:1, 15, 17, 19, 21). It included the days extending from the new moon of our March to the new moon of April. The name was first used after the [[Captivity (EBD)|Captivity]]. When the [[Seasons (EBD)|season ]] was backward, and the [[Lamb (EBD)|lambs ]] not yet of a paschal size, or the [[Barley (EBD)|barley ]] not forward enough for [[Abib (EBD)|abib]], then a month called Veadar, i.e., a second Adar, was intercalated.
