Aviv ((ヘブライ語:אביב)) is a word that has several similar meanings in Hebrew. It is also used as a masculine given name and surname. ==Meanings== *The basic meaning of the word ''aviv'' is the stage in the growth of grain when the seeds have reached full size and are filling with starch, but have not dried yet. During the plague of hail (Exodus ), the barley was said to be ''aviv'' and the flax ''giv`ol''. *The month in the Hebrew calendar when the barley has reached or passed this stage ( ) is called ''Aviv'', or the "month of the ''aviv''": the seventh of the Jewish civil year, and the first of the Biblical ecclesiastical year. It begins about the time of the Northern spring equinox (March 21). Since the Babylonian captivity, this month has mainly been called Nisan ( ). On the sixteenth day of the month, harvest was begun by gathering a sheaf of barley,〔Ruth 1:22;2:2〕 which was offered as a sacrifice to God (), when the Temple in Jerusalem existed. *"Aviv" accordingly also means spring, one of the four seasons. Thus the major modern Israeli city of Tel Aviv means "Spring Hill". *Since Passover is always celebrated on 15–21 (or 22 outside Israel) Nisan, near the beginning of spring, "Holiday of ''Aviv''". Pesach or Passover is always on the 14th of Nisan. The first day of Chag ha Matzoh or the Feast of Unleavened Bread is always the day after that, the 15th of Nisan.〔Leviticus 23:5,6〕 (ヘブライ語:''Chag Ha'Aviv'' חג האביב) is an additional name for Passover. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Aviv」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
