Exegesis
The temporal clause is marked by bechag {בֶּחָג | bə-ḥāg} ‘in the festival’ followed by the resumptive pronoun hu {הוּא | hûʾ} ‘it,’ which anticipates hachodesh hashevi’i {הַחֹדֶשׁ הַשְּׁבִעִי | ha-ḥō-ḏeš ha-šə-bî-ʿî} ‘the seventh month.’ This use of a resumptive pronoun before a nominal time expression is a Hebrew stylistic feature that adds clarity and emphasis, rendered in English by stating ‘it was the seventh month’ for explicitness.
In context — 2 Chronicles 5:3
And all the men of Israel assembled to the king at the festival ; it was the seventh month.
