|The month is [[Abib]], or the modern [[Nisan]], or "barley harvest." Most Jewish/Hebrew calendars in the modern day begin with [[Tishrei]], the seventh month, since that is when the Jewish "New Year" of [[Rosh Hashanah]] falls. Confusingly, Rosh Hashanah is one of several "Jewish New Years", each in a different context. Rosh Hashanah was considered the First Day of Creation (or by other interpretations, the day Man was created). By contrast, the first day of Nisan in Biblical times would be the equivalent of January 1st in America today.
