Ethanim

ETHANIM ĕth’ ə nĭm (אֵֽתָנִ֖ים, pl. of ’êtān, continual, permanent, ever-flowing). A Heb. word that usually refers to rivers that flow the year round. In 1 Kings 8:2 the word is transliterated as it names the seventh month (Tishri, Sept-Oct), the month when all but permanent rivers are dry, preceding the early rains. It dates the month Solomon brought the Ark to the new Temple in Jerusalem.
