Commentary on Exodus 12:2
The Hebrew 'rosh chodashim' (רֹאשׁ חֳדָשִׁים) designates this as the 'head of months,' establishing Abib (later called Nisan) as the first month. This reordering of the calendar signifies that redemption creates a new beginning—salvation reorders all of life. The old Egyptian calendar is superseded by a calendar centered on God's saving act.
