Interesting ideas surrounding the 1st of #Nisan which happened to start tonight (right now!) :
Rav Assi of Hozna'ah deduced from the words, “And it came to pass in the first month of the second year, on the first day of the month,” in #Exodus 40:17 that the #Tabernacle was erected on the "1st of Nisan".
With reference to this, a #Tanna taught that the first of Nisan took ten crowns of distinction by virtue of the ten momentous events that occurred on that day. The first of Nisan was: (1) the first day of the #Creation (#Genesis 1:1–5), (2) the first day of the princes’ offerings (Numbers 7:10–17), (3) the first day for the #priesthood to make the sacrificial offerings (#Leviticus 9:1–21), (4) the first day for public sacrifice, (5) the first day for the descent of fire from Heaven (Leviticus 9:24), (6) the first for the priests’ eating of sacred food in the sacred area, (7) the first for the dwelling of the #Shechinah in Israel (Exodus 25:8), (8) the first for the Priestly Blessing of #Israel (Leviticus 9:22, employing the blessing prescribed by Numbers 6:22–27), (9) the first for the prohibition of the high places (as stated in Leviticus 17:3–4), and (10) the first of the months of the year (#Exodus 12:2).
