<p> (Heb. Nisan', נַיסָן , from netz, נֵוֹ, a flowery or as [[Gesenius]] and Furst think, after Benfey, from the [[Persian]] nep, new), the first month of the [[Hebrew]] sacred year, called ABIB in the Pentateuch, for which it is substituted only in the time of the [[Captivity]] (Nehemiah 2:1; Esther 3:7 : Sept. Νεισάν, but most copies omit in Esther). On the first day of the month the [[Jews]] fasted for the death of the children of [[Aaron]] (Leviticus 10:1-3). On the tenth day was observed a fast for the death of Miriam, the sister of Moses, and every one provided himself with a lamb for the Passover. On this day the [[Israelites]] passed over the Jordan, under the conduct of Joshua. On the fourteenth day, in the evening, they sacrificed the [[Paschal]] lamb; and the day following, being the fifteenth, the [[Passover]] was celebrated (Exodus 13:18). The Asiatic Church, when appointing the Paschal observance, therefore selected the fourteenth of Nisan. She could associate no other date with τὸ πάσχα. The observance of this fourteenth day of the month by the [[Christians]] of [[Asia]] gave rise furthermore to the term Quatrodecinans (q.v.); but the observance, it should be borne in mind, was in commemoration of the death, not of the last supper, of Jesus. On the sixteenth day of [[Nisan]] the Hebrews offered the sheaf of the ears of barley, as the first-fruits of the harvest of that year (Leviticus 23:9). The twenty-first day was the octave of the Passover. On the twenty- sixth day they fasted in memory of the death . of Joshua, and on this day they began their prayers to obtain the rains of the spring. Lastly, on the twenty-ninth they called to mind the fall of the walls of Jericho. (See [[Month]]). </p> | |||

<p> Ni´san, the first month of the [[Hebrew]] civil year. Abib, by which name this month is called in the [[Pentateuch]] (;; ), means an ear of grain, a green ear; and hence 'the month Abib' is 'the month of green ears.' It thus denoted the condition of the barley in the climate of [[Egypt]] and [[Palestine]] in this month. Nisan, otherwise Abib, began with the new moon of April, or, according to the Rabbins, of March. </p> | |||
