Yarikh, in Canaanite mythology, Yarkhibol in Phoenician, also written as Jerah, Jarah, or Jorah (Hebrew spelling ירח), is a god of the moon whose epithets are Illuminator of the Heavens, Illuminator of the Myriads of Stars, and Lord of the Sickle (the latter may come from the appearance of the crescent moon). He is provider of nightly dew, and is married to the goddess Nikkal, His moisture causing Her orchards to bloom in the desert. The city of Jericho is named for Him.
