15 For (A)seven days you shall eat unleavened bread, but on the first day you shall remove dough with yeast from your houses; for whoever eats anything with yeast from the first day until the seventh day, (B)that [a]person shall be cut off from Israel. 16 And (C)on the first day you shall have a holy assembly, and another holy assembly on the seventh day; no work at all shall be done on them, except for what must be eaten by every person—that alone may be [b]prepared by you. 17 You shall also keep (D)the Feast of Unleavened Bread, for on this (E)very day I brought your [c]multitudes out of the land of Egypt; therefore you shall keep this day throughout your generations as (F)a [d]permanent ordinance. 18 (G)In the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month at evening, you shall eat unleavened bread, until the twenty-first day of the month at evening. 19 For (H)seven days there shall be no dough with yeast found in your houses; for whoever eats anything with yeast, that [e](I)person shall be cut off from the congregation of Israel, whether he is a stranger or a native of the land. 20 You shall not eat anything with yeast; in all your dwellings you shall eat unleavened bread.’”

15 For seven days you are to eat bread made without yeast.(A) On the first day remove the yeast from your houses, for whoever eats anything with yeast in it from the first day through the seventh must be cut off(B) from Israel. 16 On the first day hold a sacred assembly, and another one on the seventh day. Do no work(C) at all on these days, except to prepare food for everyone to eat; that is all you may do.

17 “Celebrate the Festival of Unleavened Bread,(D) because it was on this very day that I brought your divisions out of Egypt.(E) Celebrate this day as a lasting ordinance for the generations to come.(F) 18 In the first month(G) you are to eat bread made without yeast, from the evening of the fourteenth day until the evening of the twenty-first day. 19 For seven days no yeast is to be found in your houses. And anyone, whether foreigner(H) or native-born, who eats anything with yeast in it must be cut off(I) from the community of Israel. 20 Eat nothing made with yeast. Wherever you live,(J) you must eat unleavened bread.”(K)
