The first month in 1 Esdras is likely referring to the month of Nisan, which corresponds to March-April in the modern calendar. Nisan is the first month of the religious calendar in Judaism and marks the beginning of the new year.
Nisan is the 7th month of an ordinary year (not to be confused with a regular year) of the common Jewish calendar, the 8th month of a leap year of that calendar, and the 1st month of the Jewish religious calendar. The Bible identifies it as the 1st month of the year. The daytime of the 1st day of the month coincides with Gregorian dates from as early as the 12th of March to as late as the 11th of April during the Gregorian century of 2015 to 2114, and the month is 30 days long.
The modern-day Jewish calendar has a leap year periodically that adds an extra month, so the Passover is a month after Christians recognize the day of Jesus' death in 2016. The memorial of Christ's death is celebrated by Christians according to the way the calendar was back in Jesus' day, and that he died on the first full moon after the Spring Equinox on Nisan 14.In 2016, the Spring Equinox is March 20, and the first full moon is the 23rd. That is why the 2016 Memorial of Jesus Christ's death is on March 23 and that would have been Nisan 14 back before 70 CE. The Jewish, however, start celebrating the Passover on April 22 in 2016, which is Nisan 14-15 according to the modern calendar. The modern-day Jewish calendar was instituted some time after the death of Christ and after the destruction of the temple.
It is the seventh month of the Jewish year, equivalent to Nisan of the modern Jewish calendar. As the Jewish calendar is different in length to the Gregorian calendar, there is not a directly corresponding month.
I am a little confused regarding the beginning of the Hebrew year. I have read that it starts in the fall on Rosh Hashanah, and I have read that it starts in the spring on the 1st of Nisan.If the year begins on the first day of Rosh Hashanah, the third month is Kislev. But if Nisan is the first month then the third month is Sivan.Answer:The third month is Sivan. While the year starts in Tishrei, the months start in Nisan.
Jesus died in the year 33, in the Jewish lunar month of Nisan on the 14th day of that month at aprox 3PM.
