16 And in the first day shall be an holy [a]assembly: also in the seventh day shall be an holy assembly unto you: no work shall be done in them, save about that which every man must eat: that only may ye do.

17 Ye shall keep also the feast of unleavened bread: for that same day I will bring your armies out of the land of Egypt: therefore ye shall observe this day, throughout your posterity, by an ordinance forever.

18 (A)In the first month and the fourteenth day of the month at [b]even, ye shall eat unleavened bread unto the one and twentieth day of the month at even.
