Deuteronomy 16:1-8
Celebrate the Passover Feast of the Lord your God in the month of Aviv. In that month he brought you out of Egypt at night.Sacrifice an animal from your flock or herd. It is the Passover sacrifice to honor the Lord your God. Sacrifice it at the special place the Lord will choose. He will put his Name there.Don’t eat the animal along with bread made with yeast. Instead, for seven days eat bread made without yeast. It’s the bread that reminds you of how much you suffered. Remember that you left Egypt in a hurry. Remember it all the days of your life. Don’t forget the day you left Egypt.Don’t keep any yeast anywhere in your land for seven days. You will sacrifice the Passover animal on the evening of the first day. Do not let any of its meat be left over until the next morning.You must not sacrifice the Passover animal in just any town the Lord your God is giving you.Sacrifice it only in the special place he will choose for his Name. Sacrifice it there in the evening when the sun goes down. Do it on the same day every year. Be sure it’s the day you left Egypt.Cook the animal and eat it. Do it at the place the Lord your God will choose. Then in the morning return to your tents.For six days eat bread made without yeast. On the seventh day come together for a service to honor the Lord your God. Don’t do any work on that day.

Exodus 12:2-14
He said,“ From now on, this month will be your first month. Each of your years will begin with it.Speak to the whole community of Israel. Tell them that on the tenth day of this month each man must get a lamb from his flock. A lamb should be chosen for each family and home.Suppose there are not enough people in your family to eat a whole lamb. Then you must share some of it with your nearest neighbor. You must add up the total number of people there are. You must decide how much lamb is needed for each person.The animals you choose must be males that are a year old. They must not have any flaws. You may choose either sheep or goats.Take care of them until the 14th day of the month. Then the whole community of Israel must kill them when the sun goes down.Take some of the blood. Put it on the sides and tops of the doorframes of the houses where you eat the lambs.That same night eat the meat cooked over a fire. Also eat bitter plants. And eat bread made without yeast.Do not eat the meat when it is raw. Don’t boil it in water. Instead, cook it over a fire. Cook the head, legs and inside parts.Do not leave any of it until morning. If some is left over until morning, burn it up.Eat the meat while your coat is tucked into your belt. Put your sandals on your feet. Take your walking stick in your hand. Eat the food quickly. It is the Lord’ s Passover.“ That same night I will pass through Egypt. I will strike down all those born first among the people and animals. And I will judge all the gods of Egypt. I am the Lord.The blood on your houses will be a sign for you. When I see the blood, I will pass over you. No deadly plague will touch you when I strike Egypt.“ Always remember this day. You and your children after you must celebrate this day as a feast to honor the Lord. You must do this for all time to come. It is a law that will last forever.

Get rid of the old yeast. Then you can be like a new batch of dough without yeast. That is what you really are. That’s because Christ, our Passover Lamb, has been offered up for us.So let us keep the Feast, but not with the old bread made with yeast. The yeast I’m talking about is hatred and evil.

Numbers 9:2-7
“ Tell the Israelites to celebrate the Passover Feast. Have them do it at the appointed time.Celebrate it when the sun goes down on the 14th day of this month. Obey all its rules and laws.”So Moses told the Israelites to celebrate the Passover Feast.They did it in the Desert of Sinai. They celebrated it when the sun went down on the 14th day of the first month. The Israelites did everything just as the Lord had commanded Moses.But some of them couldn’t celebrate the Passover Feast on that day. That’s because they weren’t“ clean.” They had gone near a dead body. So they came to Moses and Aaron that same day.They said to Moses,“ We went near a dead body. So we aren’t‘ clean.’ But why should we be kept from bringing the Lord’ s offering at the appointed time? Why shouldn’t we bring it along with the other Israelites?”

He promised your people of long ago that he would give that land to you. It’s a land that has plenty of milk and honey. When you get there, celebrate this holy day in this month.For seven days eat bread made without yeast. On the seventh day hold a feast to honor the Lord.Eat bread made without yeast during those seven days. Nothing with yeast in it should be found among you. No yeast should be seen anywhere inside your borders.On that day talk to your child. Say,‘ I’m doing this because of what the Lord did for me when I came out of Egypt.’When you celebrate this holy day, it will be like a mark on your hand. It will be like a reminder on your forehead. This law of the Lord must be on your lips. The Lord used his mighty hand to bring you out of Egypt.Obey this law at the appointed time year after year.
