In the Bible, the concept of a "New Year" is not explicitly defined in the same way it is in contemporary culture. However, there are significant references to the beginning of new agricultural cycles and religious observances that can be understood as a form of new year. In the Jewish tradition, the month of Nisan, which typically falls in March or April, is considered the first month of the year, as stated in Exodus 12:2, where God commands Moses to establish a calendar based on the Israelite's deliverance from Egypt. This time is associated with Passover, marking a new beginning for the Israelites as they were liberated from bondage.Additionally, Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year, occurs in the fall during the month of Tishrei (usually in September). This festival is observed as a time of reflection, repentance, and the sounding of the shofar (a ram's horn), as described in Leviticus 23:24-25. It is recognized as a time to renew one's relationship with God and to prepare for the Days of Awe leading up to Yom Kippur. Thus, while the Bible does not define a "New Year" in the modern sense, it does emphasize the importance of new beginnings, reflection, and spiritual renewal during specific times of the year.
