Leviticus 23:4-8

New International Reader's Version

Passover and Unleavened Bread

⁴ “ ‘Here are the Lord’s appointed feasts. Tell the people that they must come together for these sacred gatherings at their appointed times. ⁵ The Lord’s Passover begins when the sun goes down on the 14th day of the first month. ⁶ The Lord’s Feast of Unleavened Bread begins on the 15th day of that month. For seven days you must eat bread made without yeast. ⁷ On the first day you must come together for a special service. Do not do any regular work on that day. ⁸ On each of the seven days bring a food offering to the Lord. On the seventh day come together for a special service. Do not do any regular work on that day.’ ”
