Exodus 13:4 - Albert Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Bible Comments

Abib - April. Compare Exodus 12:2. It is uncertain whether this name was ancient or given then for the first time. It is found only in the Pentateuch, six times as the name of the first month, twice in the sense of young wheat, hence its etymology, namely, the month when the wheat began to ripen. The name resembles the Egyptian Epiphi, and may possibly have been derived from it.

Exodus 13:4

4 This day came ye out in the month Abib.
