Exodus 12:14-17

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹⁴ And this day shall be for a memorial to you: and you shall keep it a feast to the Lord in your generations with an everlasting observance.

¹⁵ Seven days shall you eat unleavened bread: in the first day there shall be no leaven in your houses: whosoever shall eat any thing leavened, from the first day until the seventh day, that soul shall perish out of Israel.

¹⁶ The first day shall be holy and solemn, and the seventh day shall be kept with the like solemnity: you shall do no work in them, except those things that belong to eating.

¹⁷ And you shall observe the feast of the unleavened bread: for in this same day I will bring forth your army out of the land of Egypt, and you shall keep this day in your generations by a perpetual observance.
