The form is marked as a proper noun in Zechariah 1:7, where it identifies the eleventh month within the date for the word coming to Zechariah. In Zechariah 1:7 the APB renders the date as “the month of Shebat.”
In the Anselm Project Bible: In Zechariah 1:7, the APB presents the term in the date phrase “the month of Shebat.” This reflects the verse's date wording rather than a separate lexical definition.
