⁵ The Passover of the Lord^[a] falls on the fourteenth day of the first month, at the evening twilight.^{(A) 6} The fifteenth day of this month is the Lord’s feast of Unleavened Bread. For seven days you shall eat unleavened bread.^{(B) 7} On the first of these days you will have a declared holy day; you shall do no heavy work. ⁸ On each of the seven days you shall offer an oblation to the Lord. Then on the seventh day you will have a declared holy day; you shall do no heavy work.

² Tell the Israelites to celebrate the Passover at the prescribed time. ³ In the evening twilight of the fourteenth day of this month^(A) you shall celebrate it at its prescribed time, in accord with all its statutes and regulations. ⁴ So Moses told the Israelites to celebrate the Passover, ⁵ and they did celebrate the Passover on the fourteenth day of the first month during the evening twilight in the wilderness of Sinai. Just as the Lord had commanded Moses, so the Israelites did.

At the Passover. ¹⁶ The fourteenth day^[a] of the first month is the Passover of the Lord,^{(A) 17} and the fifteenth day of this month is the pilgrimage feast. For seven days unleavened bread is to be eaten. ¹⁸ On the first day you will declare a holy day, and you shall do no heavy work.^{[b](B) 19} You will offer an oblation, a burnt offering to the Lord: two bulls of the herd, one ram, and seven yearling lambs that you are sure are unblemished. ²⁰ Their grain offerings will be of bran flour mixed with oil; you will offer three tenths of an ephah for each bull and two tenths for the ram. ²¹ You will offer one tenth for each of the seven lambs; ²² and one goat as a purification offering to make atonement for yourselves. ²³ These offerings you will make in addition to the morning burnt offering which is part of the regular burnt offering. ²⁴ You will make exactly the same offerings each day for seven days as food offerings, oblations of pleasing aroma to the Lord; they will be offered in addition to the regular burnt offering with its libation. ²⁵ On the seventh day you will declare a holy day: you shall do no heavy work.^(C)

Chapter 16

Feast of the Passover. ¹ Observe the month of Abib^[a] by keeping the Passover of the Lord, your God,^(A) since it was in the month of Abib that the Lord, your God, brought you out of Egypt by night. ² You shall offer the Passover sacrifice from your flock and your herd to the Lord, your God, in the place the Lord will choose as the dwelling place of his name.^{(B) 3 (C)}You shall not eat leavened bread with it. For seven days you shall eat with it only unleavened bread, the bread of affliction, so that you may remember as long as you live the day you left the land of Egypt; for in hurried flight you left the land of Egypt. ⁴ No leaven is to be found with you in all your territory for seven days, and none of the meat which you sacrificed on the evening of the first day shall be kept overnight for the next day.

⁵ You may not sacrifice the Passover in any of the communities which the Lord, your God, gives you; ⁶ only at the place which the Lord, your God, will choose as the dwelling place of his name, and in the evening at sunset, at the very time when you left Egypt, shall you sacrifice the Passover.^{(D) 7} You shall cook and eat it at the place the Lord, your God, will choose; then in the morning you may return to your tents. ⁸ For six days you shall eat unleavened bread, and on the seventh day there shall be a solemn assembly for the Lord, your God; on that day you shall do no work.^(E)
