¹⁸ From the evening of the fourteenth day of the first month until the evening of the twenty-first day of this month you will eat unleavened bread.

^3 (A)Moses said to the people, “Remember this day on which you came out of Egypt, out of a house of slavery. For it was with a strong hand that the Lord brought you out from there. Nothing made with leaven may be eaten. ⁴ This day on which you are going out is in the month of Abib.^{[a] 5} Therefore, when the Lord, your God, has brought you into the land of the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Amorites, the Perrizites, the Girgashites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites, which he swore to your ancestors to give you, a land flowing with milk and honey, you will perform the following service^[b] in this month. ⁶ For seven days you will eat unleavened bread, and the seventh day will also be a festival to the Lord. ⁷ Unleavened bread may be eaten during the seven days, but nothing leavened and no leaven may be found in your possession in all your territory. ⁸ And on that day you will explain to your son, ‘This is because of what the Lord did for me when I came out of Egypt.’ ⁹ It will be like a sign^[c] on your hand and a reminder on your forehead,^(B) so that the teaching of the Lord will be on your lips: with a strong hand the Lord brought you out of Egypt. ¹⁰ You will keep this statute at its appointed time from year to year.

¹⁵ You shall keep the feast of Unleavened Bread. As I have commanded you, you must eat unleavened bread for seven days at the appointed time in the month of Abib, for it was then that you came out of Egypt. No one shall appear before me^[a] empty-handed.

¹⁸ You shall keep the festival of Unleavened Bread.^(A) For seven days at the appointed time in the month of Abib you are to eat unleavened bread, as I commanded you; for in the month of Abib you came out of Egypt.
