My notes concerning the following scripture ... "Say not ye, There are yet four months, and [then] cometh harvest? behold, I say unto you, Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields; for they are white already to harvest." {John 4:35 KJV}
"four months" ===> https://www.blueletterbible.org/lang/lexicon/lexicon.cfm?Strongs=G5072&t=KJV
Strong's Number G5072 matches the Greek τετράμηνος (tetramēnos),
which occurs 1 times in 1 verses in the Greek concordance of the KJV
tetramenos:
===> "TETRA" means: "four"
===> "men" means: "month" or "new moon"
===> "os" is plural so "menos" means: "months" or "new moons"
{I believe the FULL moon is the true "new moon", not the crescent}
