Israelite Feasts and Sacrifices interactive calendar: Chislev or Cheshvan?

I'm unclear why the Israelite Feasts and Sacrifices interactive calendar labels the eighth month "Chislev," which is an alternate spelling of Kislev, the ninth month (as it appears in the Lexham Bible Dictionary).

If I have it right, the eighth month is Bul (1 Kgs 6:38), Cheshvan, or Marcheshvan.

    It's Saturday - time to bump unanswered posts in hopes of getting them answered 7

    Orthodox Bishop Alfeyev: "To be a theologian means to have experience of a personal encounter with God through prayer and worship."; Orthodox proverb: "We know where the Church is, we do not know where it is not."

    Hope your question gets answered but I thank Father for being introduced to this tool that I didn't know existed. Thank you.
