Laws of the Four Parashiyos
Parshas Hachodesh (Shemos 12:1-20) is read on the Shabbos preceding Rosh Chodesh Nissan (or on Rosh Chodesh itself, if Rosh Chodesh is on Shabbos). This section states that the month of Nissan is the first month of the year.
This section also discusses the laws pertaining to the Pesach sacrifice. The Haftarah for Parshas Hachodesh is from Yechezkel 45, and begins with the words, "in the first month on the first day".
