These are the festivals of the Lord, holy days which you shall declare at their proper time.(A) The Passover of the Lord[a] falls on the fourteenth day of the first month, at the evening twilight.(B) The fifteenth day of this month is the Lord’s feast of Unleavened Bread. For seven days you shall eat unleavened bread.(C) On the first of these days you will have a declared holy day; you shall do no heavy work. On each of the seven days you shall offer an oblation to the Lord. Then on the seventh day you will have a declared holy day; you shall do no heavy work.
