Deuteronomy 16:1

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.

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;

Deuteronomy 16:1-3

Now again, we are reminded that what I mentioned earlier is of course not wrong. Part of eating unleavened bread for seven days is to remember the Exodus and what God miraculously has done for His people. The part that I usually overlook, and it may seem small, is in verse 3, where I read, "seven days you shall eat unleavened bread with it, that is, the bread of affliction." Certainly leaving Egypt was an affliction. It was not an easy thing to do, even though they were escaping a truly terrible situation.
