Deuteronomy 16:1-3

Expanded Bible

The Passover

16 Celebrate the Passover of the Lord your God during the month of Abib [^CMarch-April], because it was during Abib that he brought you out of Egypt at night [Ex. 12:1–6; Lev. 23:5–8]. ² As the sacrifice for the Passover to the Lord your God, offer an animal from your flock or herd at the place the Lord will choose to ·be worshiped [^Lcause his name to dwell there; ^CZion; 12:4–7]. ³ Do not eat it with bread made with ·yeast [leaven]. But for seven days eat bread made without ·yeast [leaven], the bread of ·suffering [affliction], because you left Egypt in a hurry. So all your life you will remember the time you left Egypt.
