‘These are the (A)appointed times of the Lord, holy convocations which you shall proclaim at the times appointed for them. (B)In the [a]first month, on the fourteenth day of the month [b]at twilight is the Lords Passover. Then on the fifteenth day of the same month there is the (C)Feast of Unleavened Bread to the Lord; for seven days you shall eat unleavened bread. On the first day you shall have a holy convocation; you shall (D)not do any laborious work. But for seven days you shall present an offering by fire to the Lord. On the seventh day is a holy convocation; you shall not do any laborious work.’”

These are the Lord’s appointed festivals and sacred assemblies that you are to declare at their appointed time.

“The Lord’s Passover is to begin on the fourteenth day of the first month at twilight.[a] On the fifteenth day of that month is the Festival of Unleavened Bread to the Lord. For seven days you are to eat unleavened bread. On the first day that you hold the sacred assembly, you are to do no servile work. Instead, you are to bring an offering made by fire to the Lord daily for seven days. On the seventh day, you are also to hold a sacred assembly during which you are to do no servile work.”
