The name adopted from the Babylonians by the Jews after the Captivity for the third civil, or ninth ecclesiastical, month (Neh. 1:1; Zech. 7:1). It corresponds nearly with the moon in November.
Chisleu
Chisleu is a month, not a person or place. Nehemiah’s book opens with a date: “in the month Chisleu, in the twentieth year, as I was in Shushan the palace.” Nave’s gathers two other mentions of the ninth month here. In Ezra 10 the people sit in the street “trembling because of this matter, and for the great rain,” and in Jeremiah 36 “the king sat in the winterhouse in the ninth month,” with “a fire on the hearth burning before him.” Rain and fire suggest a cold, wet season. Nehemiah 1:1 is the verse that names it.
