The Passover

¹⁶ “‘The Lord’s Passover will be on the fourteenth day of the first month [Ex. 12:1–20; Lev. 23:4–8; Deut. 16:1–8]. ¹⁷ The Feast of Unleavened Bread begins on the fifteenth day of that month. For seven days, you may eat only bread made without ·yeast [leaven]. ¹⁸ Have a ·holy meeting [sacred/solemn convocation] on the first day of the festival, and don’t work that day. ¹⁹ Bring to the Lord an offering made by fire, a burnt offering [Lev. 1:1–17] of two young bulls, one ·male sheep [ram], and seven male lambs a year old. They must have ·nothing wrong with them [no blemish]. ²⁰ With each bull give a ·grain [^Lgift; tribute] offering [Lev. 2:1] of ·six quarts [^Lthree-tenths of an ephah] of ·fine [choice] flour mixed with olive oil. With the ·male sheep [ram] it must be ·four quarts [^Ltwo-tenths of an ephah] of ·fine [choice] flour mixed with oil. ²¹ With each of the seven lambs, it must be ·two quarts [^Lone-tenth of an ephah] of ·fine [choice] flour mixed with oil. ²² Bring one goat as a ·sin [or purification] offering [Lev. 4:3], to ·remove your sins so you will belong to God [make atonement for yourself]. ²³ Bring these offerings in addition to the burnt offerings [Lev. 1:1–17] you give every morning. ²⁴ So bring food for the offering made by fire each day for seven days, for a smell that is pleasing to the Lord. Do it in addition to the daily burnt offering [Lev. 1:1–17] and its drink offering. ²⁵ On the seventh day have a holy meeting [sacred/solemn convocation], and don’t work that day.
