What month does the Hebrew calendar begin?

Answer 1

The first month of the Jewish calendar is the month of Nisan, in the spring, when Passover occurs. Nisan is usually from mid-March to mid-April.

(Note, however, the Jewish New Year is in Tishrei, the seventh month, and that is when the year's number is increased.)

Answer 2

In July of 2018bc the city of Isan (Nisan) created a calendar that cycled 25 years of 365 days as 309 lunar months starting with the month Pamenot. Abram in 1943bc brought this to the 12th dynasty Pharaoh's 1st king 1st year. By 1514bc the Pamenot calendar drifted back to Julian March which is Gregorian February when a comet split in two striking Earth and orbiting it. Moses predicted ten plagues of Egypt but not those of the whole earth including the explosion of Thera Atlantis. At this time Moses noted that Nisan for 1513bc would be Gregorian February not March, so he inserted the Babylonian Adar II and labeled Julian April (Greg.March) as the name Abib (Aviv) as the first month. It means ear of barley. Nisan and Abib are not the same in 1513bc. They become the same in 537bc as Julian and Gregorian dates get closer. The 25-year calendar continued for 75 years for China until 1437bc, where as the current 19-year insertions of 7 intercalary months began Joshua's last year 1443bc and is still used today. Babylon adopted the same 19-year in 1442bc the next year when Joshua died. (It is actually 76 year of 19 leap days and 28 intercalary months but this is divided by four.) When they entered Canaan in 1473bc, worship was significant for the 7th month Julian Oct /G.Sept so that the financial 7 years was segmented from 7th month to 7th month. This is why they say September Tishri is the new year not March Nisan. BUT the Seder Olam Rabbah decided that Adam was created in 3761bc because it is the 19-year cycle as if God gave the calendar to Adam. Nothing to boast about crediting God with since it drifts 5 Julian days back in 1463 years, which is 7 days forward in Gregorian.
