12.2 Mensis iste, etc. RAB. Hic est Aprilis, qui apud Hebræos Nisam, apud Macedones dicitur, et dicitur Aprilis quasi aperilis, quia tunc aperitur terra proferendis virgultis herbis ac floribus: vel Aprilis a Venere, quasi Aphroditis; Venus enim Græce Aphrodite dicitur. Hunc Hebræi primum habent, quia XV Kalendarum ejus prima dies sæculi fuit: quarta decima vero, dies secunda; tertia decima, tertia: duodecima, quarta: qua sol et luna condita sunt, et tunc primum æquinoctium fuit; sol enim in oriente, luna in occidente, sphæram mundi ex æquo dividebant. STRAB. Hic est Nisan, secundum Hebræos, in quo factus est mundus, cujus plenilunium post æquinoctium vernale semper est attendendum: in quo populus Isræl a servitute Ægypti liberatur, et genus humanum sanguine Christi a potestate diaboli eripitur. Decima die mensis tollitur agnus, quarto decimo immolatur: quia in lege passio Christi figuratur, Evangelii gratia coruscante impletur; denarius enim, propter decalogum, legem significat; quaternarius vero, quatuor evangelia.

BRN This month shall be to you the beginning of months: it is the first to you among the months of the year.
BrLXX ὁ μὴν οὗτος ὑμῖν ἀρχὴ μηνῶν· πρῶτός ἐστιν ὑμῖν ἐν τοῖς μησὶ τοῦ ἐνιαυτοῦ.
(ho maʸn houtos humin arⱪaʸ maʸnōn; prōtos estin humin en tois maʸsi tou eniautou. )
12:2 This month was the month Abib (13:4; 23:15; 34:18; Deut 16:1; later called by the Babylonian name, Nisan, Neh 2:1; Esth 3:7), which falls within the months of March and April. Many cultures held festivals about this time of the year, celebrating the renewal of plant life. Israel’s festival celebrated the historic event in which God defeated death and rescued his people from bondage in Egypt.

הַחֹ֧דֶשׁ הַזֶּ֛ה לָכֶ֖ם רֹ֣אשׁ חֳדָשִׁ֑ים
the,month the=this to/for=you_all head months
The start of this verse is the beginning of a direct quote which continues until the end of 12:20. It may be helpful to your readers to indicate this with an opening first-level quotation mark or with whatever other punctuation or convention your language uses to indicate the beginning of a quotation. There may be other quotations in this chapter; they will be marked by the same punctuation, but they will not have their own notes unless there is something unique about them.
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / parallelism
הַחֹ֧דֶשׁ הַזֶּ֛ה לָכֶ֖ם רֹ֣אשׁ חֳדָשִׁ֑ים רִאשׁ֥וֹן הוּא֙ לָכֶ֔ם לְחָדְשֵׁ֖י הַשָּׁנָֽה
the,month the=this to/for=you_all head months first he/it to/for=you_all of,month the,year
These two phrases mean basically the same thing and emphasize that the month in which the events of this chapter take place will be the beginning of their calendar year.
Note 3 topic: translate-hebrewmonths
רִאשׁ֥וֹן הוּא֙ לָכֶ֔ם לְחָדְשֵׁ֖י הַשָּׁנָֽה
first he/it to/for=you_all of,month the,year
The first month of the Hebrew calendar includes the last part of March and the first part of April on Western calendars. It marks when Yahweh rescued the Israelites from the Egyptians. 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 approximately what time of year that is on your calendar in a footnote.
