The Passover Reviewed

1 “Observe the ^amonth of Abib, and keep the Passover to the Lord your God, for ^bin the month of Abib the Lord your God brought you out of Egypt by night.

2 Therefore you shall sacrifice the Passover to the Lord your God, from the flock and ^athe herd, in the ^bplace where the Lord chooses to put His name.

3 You shall eat no leavened bread with it; ^aseven days you shall eat unleavened bread with it, that is, the bread of affliction (for you came out of the land of Egypt in haste), that you may ^bremember the day in which you came out of the land of Egypt all the days of your life.

4 ^aAnd no leaven shall be seen among you in all your territory for seven days, nor shall any of the meat which you sacrifice the first day at twilight remain overnight until ^bmorning.

5 “You may not sacrifice the Passover within any of your gates which the Lord your God gives you;

6 but at the place where the Lord your God chooses to make His name abide, there you shall sacrifice the Passover ^aat twilight, at the going down of the sun, at the time you came out of Egypt.

7 And you shall roast and eat it in the place which the Lord your God chooses, and ^ain the morning you shall turn and go to your tents.

8 Six days you shall eat unleavened bread, and ^aon the seventh day there shall be a¹ sacred assembly to the Lord your God. You shall do no work on it.
