Deuteronomy 16:2-4

Good News Translation

² Go to the one place of worship and slaughter there one of your sheep or cattle for the Passover meal to honor the Lord your God. ³ When you eat this meal, do not eat bread prepared with yeast. For seven days you are to eat bread prepared without yeast, as you did when you had to leave Egypt in such a hurry. Eat this bread—it will be called the bread of suffering—so that as long as you live you will remember the day you came out of Egypt, that place of suffering. ⁴ For seven days no one in your land is to have any yeast in the house; and the meat of the animal killed on the evening of the first day must be eaten that same night.
