Shevat — שְׁבָט
The 11th Biblical Month is all about LIFE
2026: January 18 (sunset) - February 17 (sunset)
Shevat (“sheh-VAHT”) is a month rich in symbolism, meaning, and life! This is the start of a new growing season, the day when the sap begins to rise in the fruit trees in Israel.
In modern times, Shevat is marked by eating fruit, particularly from the “Seven Species” which include wheat, barley, grapes, figs, pomegranates, olives, and dates (Numbers 8:8).
Scripture tells us that Moses began summarizing the Book of Deuteronomy on the first day of this month. Hence Shevat is considered an opportune time to study the Bible and gain revelation.
The New Testament books of Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Acts, Romans, Galatians, as well as 1 and 2 Corinthians, Hebrews, and Revelation, all refer back to Deuteronomy. There are only a few books in the New Testament that do not reference or quote Deuteronomy!
