Exodus 12:2
This month shall be unto you the beginning of months: it shall be the first month of the year to you.
The Biblical year begins in the month of Abib.
Harper's Bible Dictionary:
"ABIB: the first
month of the Hebrew Year (March-April), after the Exile called Nisan."
"Abib
The original name of the first month of the year falling at the beginning of spring. The Exodus from Egypt took place in Abib, which thus became the date for the celebration of the Feast of Passover. "
