**The word Abib, used in the Bible in reference to the first moon, is a Hebrew word meaning
“to be tender; green, i.e. a young ear of grain…green ears of corn”
(SECB). It is this same Hebrew word which is translated “ear” in Ex. 9:31 KJV. The command in Deut. 16:1 to “observe the month of Abib...” simply
means to “look/watch out for the new moon becoming visible at the time there
is barley green ears of
corn/grain.” “This month (moon, new
moon) shall be to you the beginning of
months (moons, new moons): it shall
be the first month (moon, new moon) of
the year to you,” Ex. 12:2. Certainly, there was barley green ears of corn/grain in

***The Hebrew calendar adjusts for "leap years" by adding an occasional additional month. The below is from Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adar): Adar (Hebrew: אֲדָר, Standard Adar) is the sixth month of the civil year and the twelfth month of the religious year on the Hebrew calendar. It is a winter month of 29 days. In leap years, it is preceded by a 30-day intercalary month named Adar Aleph (Aleph being the first letter of the Jewish alphabet), Adar Rishon (First Adar) or Adar I and it is then itself called Adar Bet (Bet being the second letter of the Jewish Alphabet), Adar Sheni (Second Adar) or Adar II. Occasionally instead of Adar I and Adar II, "Adar" and "Ve'Adar" are used (Ve means 'and' thus: And Adar). Adar I and II occur during February–March on the Gregorian calendar. |
