Nisan; first month of Jewish calendar (March-April), month of Passover
This month name, borrowed from Babylonian 'Nisannu,' designates the first month of the Hebrew calendar in post-exilic texts. It corresponds to the pre-exilic 'month of Abib.' Nisan typically falls in March-April and is forever associated with Passover and the Exodus. The two biblical occurrences both come from the Persian period: Nehemiah receives bad news about Jerusalem in Nisan (Neh 2:1), and Haman casts lots in Nisan to determine when to destroy the Jews (Est 3:7). This Babylonian calendar adoption reflects the cultural influence of exile.
Sentidos
1. sense 1 — Both references place significant events in this first month. Nehemiah 2:1 sets the date: 'in the month of Nisan, in the twentieth year of King Artaxerxes'—when Nehemiah's sad expression leads to his request to rebuild Jerusalem. Esther 3:7 notes that 'in the first month, which is the month of Nisan,' Haman cast pur (lots) to choose an auspicious day for genocide. The parenthetical explanation 'the first month' shows the writer knew some readers would need help with the Babylonian name. The sacred associations of Nisan (the Exodus month) add bitter irony to Haman's plot being hatched precisely then. The name became standard in post-exilic Judaism and remains so today. 2×
