It is primarily used in the context of dates, particularly in reference to the Jewish calendar and significant events that occur on the fourteenth day of a month. Cultural and Historical Background: In Jewish tradition, the fourteenth day of the month of Nisan is significant as it marks the beginning of Passover (Pesach), a major Jewish festival commemorating the Israelites' exodus from Egypt. This day is crucial in the biblical narrative as it involves the preparation and sacrifice of the Passover lamb, which is central to the Passover celebration.
