Leviticus 23:5

THE PASSOVER. (Leviticus 23:5-8)

the Lord's passover—(See Exodus 12:2, Exodus 12:14, Exodus 12:18). The institution of the passover was intended to be a perpetual memorial of the circumstances attending the redemption of the Israelites, while it had a typical reference to a greater redemption to be effected for God's spiritual people. On the first and last days of this feast, the people were forbidden to work [Leviticus 23:7-8]; but while on the Sabbath they were not to do any work, on feast days they were permitted to dress meat—and hence the prohibition is restricted to "no servile work." At the same time, those two days were devoted to "holy convocation"—special seasons of social devotion. In addition to the ordinary sacrifices of every day, there were to be "offerings by fire" on the altar (see Numbers 28:19), while unleavened bread was to be eaten in families all the seven days (see I Corinthians 5:8).
