Deuteronomy 16:1-3

New International Reader's Version

The Passover Feast

16 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. ² 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. ³ 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.
