Strong's Lexicon abib: Abib, ear of grain, green ears Original Word: אָבִיב Part of Speech: Noun Masculine Transliteration: abiyb Pronunciation: ah-VEEB Phonetic Spelling: (aw-beeb') Definition: Abib, ear of grain, green ears Meaning: green, a young ear of grain Word Origin: Derived from an unused root meaning "to be tender" or "to sprout." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for "Abib" in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a specific Hebrew term related to the Jewish calendar and agricultural cycle. Usage: The term "Abib" refers to the stage of growth in grain, particularly barley, when the ears are still green and tender. It is also used to denote the first month of the Hebrew calendar, which corresponds to March-April in the Gregorian calendar. This month is significant as it marks the beginning of the harvest season and is associated with the Passover festival. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, the month of Abib was crucial for agricultural and religious reasons. It signified the start of the barley harvest, which was the first crop to ripen in the spring. The timing of the Passover and the Feast of Unleavened Bread was linked to the state of the barley crop, as the offering of the firstfruits was a key component of these celebrations. The month of Abib was later renamed Nisan after the Babylonian exile.
