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.

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.
