Passover is one of the three major Jewish festivals, commemorating the liberation of the Israelites from slavery in Egypt.
Deut 16:1Observe the month of Abib and celebrate the Passover to the Lord your God, because in the month of Abib he brought you out of Egypt by night.Deut 16:2Sacrifice as the Passover to the Lord your God an animal from your flock or herd at the place the Lord will choose as a dwelling for his Name.Deut 16:3Do not eat it with bread made with yeast, but for seven days eat unleavened bread, the bread of affliction, because you left Egypt in haste—so that all the days of your life you may remember the day you left Egypt.Deut 16:4Let no yeast be found in your possession in all your territory for seven days. Do not allow any of the meat you sacrifice on the evening of the first day to remain until morning.Deut 16:5You must not sacrifice the Passover in any town the Lord your God gives youDeut 16:6except in the place he will choose as a dwelling for his Name. There you must sacrifice the Passover in the evening, at sunset, on the anniversary of your departure from Egypt.Deut 16:7Roast it and eat it at the place the Lord your God will choose. Then in the morning return to your tents.
