^14 (A)You must celebrate this day as a religious festival to remind you of what I, the Lord, have done. Celebrate it for all time to come.”

The Festival of Unleavened Bread

¹⁵ The Lord said, “For seven days you must not eat any bread made with yeast—eat only unleavened bread. On the first day you are to get rid of all the yeast in your houses, for if anyone during those seven days eats bread made with yeast, he shall no longer be considered one of my people. ¹⁶ On the first day and again on the seventh day you are to meet for worship. No work is to be done on those days, but you may prepare food. ¹⁷ Keep this festival, because it was on this day that I brought your tribes out of Egypt. For all time to come you must celebrate this day as a festival. ¹⁸ From the evening of the fourteenth day of the first month to the evening of the twenty-first day, you must not eat any bread made with yeast. ^19-20 For seven days no yeast must be found in your houses, for if anyone, native-born or foreign, eats bread made with yeast, he shall no longer be considered one of my people.”

^6 (A)On the fifteenth day the Festival of Unleavened Bread begins, and for seven days you must not eat any bread made with yeast. ⁷ On the first of these days you shall gather for worship and do none of your daily work. ⁸ Offer your food offerings to the Lord for seven days. On the seventh day you shall again gather for worship, but you shall do none of your daily work.

^17 (A)On the fifteenth day a religious festival begins which lasts seven days, during which only bread prepared without yeast is to be eaten. ¹⁸ On the first day of the festival you are to gather for worship, and no work is to be done. ¹⁹ Offer a burnt offering as a food offering to the Lord: two young bulls, one ram, and seven one-year-old male lambs, all without any defects. ²⁰ Offer the proper grain offering of flour mixed with olive oil: 6 pounds with each bull, 4 pounds with the ram, ²¹ and 2 pounds with each lamb. ²² Also offer one male goat as a sin offering, and in this way perform the ritual of purification for the people. ²³ Offer these in addition to the regular morning burnt offering. ²⁴ In the same way, for seven days offer to the Lord a food offering, an odor pleasing to him. Offer this in addition to the daily burnt offering and wine offering. ²⁵ Meet for worship on the seventh day and do no work.
