The Feast of Unleavened Bread

And Moses said to the people, “(A)Remember this day in which you went out from Egypt, from the house of [a]slavery; for (B)by a strong hand Yahweh brought you out from this place. (C)And nothing leavened shall be eaten. This day, in the (D)month of Abib, you are going out. And it shall be when Yahweh (E)brings you to the land of the Canaanite, the Hittite, the Amorite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite, which (F)He swore to your fathers to give you, a land flowing with milk and honey, (G)that you shall [b]do this service in this month. For (H)seven days you shall eat unleavened bread, and on the seventh day there shall be a feast to Yahweh. Unleavened bread shall be eaten throughout the seven days; and (I)nothing leavened shall be seen [c]among you, nor shall any leaven be seen [d]among you in all your borders. (J)And you shall tell your son on that day, saying, ‘It is because of what Yahweh did for me when I came out of Egypt.’ And (K)it will be as a sign to you on your hand and as a memorial between your eyes, that the law of Yahweh may be in your mouth; for with (L)a strong hand Yahweh brought you out of Egypt. 10 Therefore, you shall (M)keep this statute at its appointed time from [e]year to year.

And Moses said to the people, “Remember this day when you went out from Egypt, from a house of slaves, because with strength of hand Yahweh brought you out from here, and food with yeast will not be eaten. Today you are going out in the month of Abib. And when Yahweh brings you to the land of the Canaanites[a] and the Hittites[b] and the Amorites[c] and the Hivites[d] and the Jebusites[e]—which he swore to your ancestors[f] to give to you, a land flowing with milk and honey—you will perform this service in this month. Seven days you will eat unleavened bread, and on the seventh day will be a feast for Yahweh. Unleavened bread will be eaten the seven days; food with yeast will not be seen for you; and yeast will not be seen for you in all your territory. And you shall tell your son on that day, saying, ‘This is because of what Yahweh did for me when I came out from Egypt.’ And it will be as a sign on your hand and as a memorial between your eyes so that the law of Yahweh will be in your mouth, that with a strong hand Yahweh brought you out from Egypt. 10 And you will keep this statute at its appointed time from year to year.[g]
