Numbers 28:16-18

Living Bible

¹⁶ “On April first^[a] you shall celebrate the Passover—when the death angel passed over the oldest sons of the Israelites in Egypt, leaving them unharmed. ¹⁷ On the following day a great, joyous seven-day festival will begin, but no leavened bread shall be served. ¹⁸ On the first day of the festival all the people shall be called together before the Lord. No hard work shall be done on that day.
