The feast of the Passover,

1 ¶ Observeºª² the monthº of Abib,º and keepºª the passoverº unto the LORDº thy God:º for² in the monthº of Abibº the LORDº thy Godº brought thee forthºª out of Egyptº² by night.º 2 Thou shalt therefore sacrificeºª the passoverº unto the LORDº thy God,º of the flockº and the herd,º in the placeº which² the LORDº shall chooseºª to placeºª his nameº there.² 3 Thou shalt eatºª no² leavened breadº with² it; sevenº daysº shalt thou eatºª unleavened breadº therewith,² [even] the breadº of affliction;º for² thou camest forthºª out of the landº² of Egyptº in haste:º that² thou mayest rememberºª² the dayº when thou camest forthºª out of the landº² of Egyptº all² the daysº of thy life.º 4 And there shall be no² leavened breadº seenºª with thee in all² thy coastº sevenº days;º neither² shall there [any thing] of² the flesh,º which² thou sacrificedstºª the firstº dayº at even,º remain¹ª all night² until the morning.º 5 Thou mayestºª not² sacrificeºª² the passoverº within anyº of thy gates,º which² the LORDº thy Godº givethºª thee: 6 But²² at² the placeº which² the LORDº thy Godº shall chooseºª to placeºª his nameº in, there² thou shalt sacrificeºª² the passoverº at even,º at the going downºª of the sun,º at the seasonº that thou camest forthºª out of Egypt.º² 7 And thou shalt roastºª and eatºª [it] in the placeº which² the LORDº thy Godº shall choose:ºª and thou shalt turnºª in the morning,º and goºª unto thy tents.º 8 Sixº daysº thou shalt eatºª unleavened bread:º and on the seventhº dayº [shall be] a solemn assemblyº to the LORDº thy God:º thou shalt doºª no² workº [therein].
