Who this is
Tebeth was not a person but the tenth month of the Hebrew calendar, roughly corresponding to December-January, during which Esther was brought before King Ahasuerus (Esther 2:16). The word is borrowed from Babylonian, where the month Tebetu shares the same name, reflecting the calendar Jews adopted during and after the exile.
