### Note

Same form as adjective and adverb: "a monthly bill" and "paid monthly". For numbers: a year has 12 months, so yearly = monthly × 12; a month is about 4 weeks, but not exactly (most months are a little more than 4 weeks).

## In Jewish tradition

Monthly means "month by month." Isaiah mocks Babylon's astrologers who claim to predict from the new moon.

**Interpretation.** Tradition forbids fortune-telling and trusting the stars. Israel's calendar follows the new moon, but it does not tell the future.

### Examples

- Thou art wearied in the multitude of thy counsels; let now the astrologers, the stargazers, the monthly prognosticators, stand up, and save thee from the things that shall come upon thee. (Prophets ISA.47.13, JPS 1917) [tree →](https://mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/dictionaries/judaism/M/monthly/#x1)
