Deuteronomy 16:8
Excerpted from: Passover (Part 9)

Now why would they celebrate all night? They were commemorating coming out of Egypt, and in all likelihood the Israelites, once they began to leave Rameses, did not stop till daylight the next day. They marched all night, and then rested in the heat of the day. They were celebrating "The Night To Be Much Observed"—a night of watching. God was watching over them as they left Egypt by night. Now verse 8 makes sense as to why He would have to tell them to leave off the celebration and go back to their tents.

This is the most flagrant insertion in this whole section. Do you see that it contradicts verse 3? That is how dumb the insertion has been. The Days of Unleavened Bread are seven days long, not six. But it was a practice of traditional Judaism to give people the liberty of not having to eat unleavened bread on that last Holy Day, and so they sneaked it in there. But it did not get past us.

Is God so dumb that He would contradict Himself within five verses? Is He so forgetful that in one place He would say to eat it for seven days, and then a couple of verses later say to eat it for six days? It ought to be very clear that this series of scriptures has been tampered with.
