¹⁵ For seven days you are to eat bread made without yeast.^(A) On the first day remove the yeast from your houses, for whoever eats anything with yeast in it from the first day through the seventh must be cut off^(B) from Israel. ¹⁶ On the first day hold a sacred assembly, and another one on the seventh day. Do no work^(C) at all on these days, except to prepare food for everyone to eat; that is all you may do.

¹⁷ “Celebrate the Festival of Unleavened Bread,^(D) because it was on this very day that I brought your divisions out of Egypt.^(E) Celebrate this day as a lasting ordinance for the generations to come.^{(F) 18} In the first month^(G) you are to eat bread made without yeast, from the evening of the fourteenth day until the evening of the twenty-first day. ¹⁹ For seven days no yeast is to be found in your houses. And anyone, whether foreigner^(H) or native-born, who eats anything with yeast in it must be cut off^(I) from the community of Israel. ²⁰ Eat nothing made with yeast. Wherever you live,^(J) you must eat unleavened bread.”^(K)

³³ The Egyptians urged the people to hurry^(A) and leave^(B) the country. “For otherwise,” they said, “we will all die!”^{(C) 34} So the people took their dough before the yeast was added, and carried it on their shoulders in kneading troughs^(D) wrapped in clothing.

⁶ On the fifteenth day of that month the Lord’s Festival of Unleavened Bread^(A) begins; for seven days^(B) you must eat bread made without yeast. ⁷ On the first day hold a sacred assembly^(C) and do no regular work. ⁸ For seven days present a food offering to the Lord.^(D) And on the seventh day hold a sacred assembly and do no regular work.’”

³ Do not eat it with bread made with yeast, but for seven days eat unleavened bread, the bread of affliction,^(A) because you left Egypt in haste^(B)—so that all the days of your life you may remember the time of your departure from Egypt.^{(C) 4} Let no yeast be found in your possession in all your land for seven days. Do not let any of the meat you sacrifice on the evening^(D) of the first day remain until morning.^(E)

⁸ For six days eat unleavened bread and on the seventh day hold an assembly^(A) to the Lord your God and do no work.^(B)

¹⁶ Three times a year all your men must appear^(A) before the Lord your God at the place he will choose: at the Festival of Unleavened Bread,^(B) the Festival of Weeks and the Festival of Tabernacles.^(C) No one should appear before the Lord empty-handed:^{(D) 17} Each of you must bring a gift in proportion to the way the Lord your God has blessed you.
