Moon:
heb. yareah, from its paleness (Ezr 6:15), and lebanah, the "white" (Sgs 6:10; Isa 24:23), was appointed by the Creator to be with the sun "for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years" (Gen 1:14-16). A lunation was among the Jews the period of a month, and several of their festivals were held on the day of the new moon. It is frequently referred to along with the sun (Jos 10:12; Psa 72:5,7,17; 89:36,37; Ecc 12:2; Isa 24:23, etc.), and also by itself (Psa 8:3; 121:6).
The great brilliance of the moon in Eastern countries led to its being early an object of idolatrous worship (Deu 4:19; 17:3; Job 31:26), a form of idolatry against which the Jews were warned (Deu 4:19; 17:3). They, however, fell into this idolatry, and offered incense (2Ki 23:5; Jer 8:2), and also cakes of honey, to the moon (Jer 7:18; 44:17-19,25).
