הַחֹדֶשׁ הַזֶּה לָכֶם רֹאשׁ חֳדָשִׁים רִאשׁוֹן הוּא לָכֶם לְחָדְשֵׁי הַשָּׁנָה:

Hachodesh hazeh (this month) shall be unto you the beginning of months; it shall be the first month of the year to you.

As there 4 New Years in Jewish calendar, 1 NISAN is known as Religious New Year. "Rosh Chodesh NISAN ראש חודש ניסן," which means "Month of NISAN" is also known as "Rosh HaChodashim ראש החודשים," which means "Head of the Months."

"Shabbat HaChodesh" is "the Shabbat of the month", a Shabbat that precedes the first of the Hebrew month of Nisan during which Pesach (Passover) is celebrated. On the first day of NISAN, G-D presented the first commandment of how to "sanctify the new moon" (kiddush hachodesh) for the onset of Rosh Chodesh and thus NISAN becomes the first month of the Jewish year (counting by months.).

Seor A masculine noun meaning leaven, fermentable, barm, Ex 12:15,19; Deu 16:4; Lev 2:11, sour dough make from previous day batch of yeast. Leaven was produced from the barley content of the dough that fermented and served as yeast. Small amounts would be kept from one batch, allowed to ferment, then used in another.

first month of the year The New Year is always in line with feast of ADONAI of the New Moon calendar, His redemption plan, and the manner of type of believer's life from the day he/she was redeemed by blood of Mashiach Yehoshua until He come face to face with the Almighy One.

What is Yeast?

What is unleaven? The word which describes any baked good that has no chametzer, such as yeast, baking powder, or baking soda. Barley is also a staple food, but its worth is often unrecognized or undervalued. The omer offered between Pesach and Shavuot was a measure of barley,

Matzah hccm . It is anything which is fermented or Chametz (uneven illgotten wealth). The normal process of making bread included some form of yeast to make the bread rise i.e the natural fementation of benign bacteria. During the Pesach no one was allowed to eat chametz bread (Ex 12: 15, 13:3,7) Matzah signified the suddenness of the deliverance of theYisrael by Elohim (Deut 16:3) . Ordinary Chametz bread was prohibited on other occassions but allowable under certain circumstances (Lev 7:13; 23:17, Amos 4:5). It later became a symbol of corruption and impurity in the Jewish religious system (Matt 16:12, Markos 8:15 1 Cor 5:8

The Hebrew word hametz is translated as Chametz bread and refers to food prepared from five species of grain--wheat, barley, oats, spelt, and rye--that has been allowed to chametz. (Hebrew: yetzer ha-ra) According to rabbinic psychology, each person is driven by both a GOOD INCLINATION (yetzer ha-tov) and an evil inclination (yetzer ha-ra).

ANI ADONAI (יהוה), I AM ADONAI (יהוה) Chametz is any food product derived of wheat (Hittah), barley (se'orah), rye, oats, spelt or its derivative.
