Deuteronomy 16:1-3
Modern English Version
The Passover(A)
16 Observe the month of Aviv[a] and keep the Passover to the Lord your God, for in the month of Aviv the Lord your God brought you out of Egypt by night. 2 Therefore, you must sacrifice the Passover to the Lord your God, from the flock or the herd, in the place where the Lord shall choose to place His name. 3 You must not eat leavened bread with it. For seven days you must eat unleavened bread, the bread of affliction, for you came out of the land of Egypt in a hurry, so that you may remember all the days of your life the day when you came out of the land of Egypt.
