OET interlinear NUM 9:11

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: translate-hebrewmonths

בַּ⁠חֹ֨דֶשׁ הַ⁠שֵּׁנִ֜י בְּ⁠אַרְבָּעָ֨ה עָשָׂ֥ר י֛וֹם

in,month the=second on_[the],four- ten day

The second month of the Hebrew calendar includes April and May on Western calendars. You could convert the Hebrew day and month into an approximate date on the calendar that your culture uses. However, the Jews used a lunar calendar, so if you use a solar calendar, the date will be different every year, and the translation will not be entirely accurate. So you may just want to give the number of the day and the name of the month on the Hebrew calendar and say in a footnote approximately what time of year that is on your calendar.
