Gesenius' Hebrew and Chaldee Definition

כִּסְלֵו m. Zechariah 7:1; Nehemiah 1:1 [Chisleu], Greek Χασελεῦ, 1Ma_1:54, the ninth of the Hebrew months, beginning at the new moon of December. Its etymology is altogether uncertain. It may, however, be so called from the languor and torpidity of nature. [In Thes. derived from the Persic.]
