BUL, the eighth month of the ecclesiastical year of the Jews, and the second month of the civil year. It answers to October. and consists of twenty-nine days. On the sixth day of this month the Jews fasted, because on that day Nebuchadnezzar put to death the children of Zedekiah in the presence of their unhappy father, whose eyes, after they had been witnesses of this sad spectacle, he ordered to be put out, 2Ki 25:7. We find the name of this month mentioned in Scripture but once, 1Ki 6:38.
