# tenth month

Because Moses wrote this book, it is possible he is referring to the tenth month of the Hebrew calendar, but this is uncertain. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/translate-hebrewmonths]] and [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/translate-ordinal]])

# On the first day of the month

"On the first day of the tenth month"

# appeared

This can be made more explicit: "appeared above the surface of the water." (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-explicit]])
