Deuteronomy 16:1-6

Modern English Version

The Passover^(A)

16 Observe the month of Aviv^[a] and keep the Passover to the Lord your God, for in the month of Aviv the Lord your God brought you out of Egypt by night. ² Therefore, you must sacrifice the Passover to the Lord your God, from the flock or the herd, in the place where the Lord shall choose to place His name. ³ You must not eat leavened bread with it. For seven days you must eat unleavened bread, the bread of affliction, for you came out of the land of Egypt in a hurry, so that you may remember all the days of your life the day when you came out of the land of Egypt. ⁴ There must not be any leavened bread seen with you within all your borders for seven days, nor may any of the meat which you sacrificed in the evening on the first day remain overnight until morning.

⁵ You may not sacrifice the Passover within any of your gates that the Lord your God has given you. ⁶ But at the place where the Lord your God chooses to place His name, there you shall sacrifice the Passover in the evening at sunset, at the time that you came out of Egypt.
