Adar <ref name=" | Adar <ref name="term_451" /> | ||
<p> ''''' | <p> ''''' ā ''''' -´ ''''' dar ''''' ( אדר , <i> ''''' 'ădhār ''''' </i> , meaning uncertain): The [[Babylonian]] name of the twelfth month of the year. Used in the Bible only in Ezra 6:15 and eight times in Esther. At first the author in Esther defines [[Adar]] as the twelfth month, but afterward omits the numeral. In order to maintain the relation of the year to the seasons it was customary to add a second Adar, as often as was needed, as an intercalary month. </p> | ||
