Deuteronomy:16:1-8
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Observe the month of Abib ,
and prepare the passover
sacrifice unto the Lord thy God ;
for in the month of Abib did the Lord thy God bring thee forth out of Egypt by night .
*
And thou shalt sacrifice the passover
offering unto the Lord thy God of sheep and oxen ,
in the place which the Lord will choose to let his name dwell there .
*
Thou shalt not eat therewith any leavened bread :
seven days shalt thou eat therewith unleavened bread ,
the bread of affliction ;
for in haste didst thou go forth out of the land of Egypt ;
in order that thou mayest remember the day of thy going forth out of the land of Egypt all the days of thy life .
*
And there shall not be seen with thee any leaven in all thy borders seven days :
neither shall there any of the flesh ,
which thou sacrificedst in the evening ,
on the first day ,
remain all night until the morning .
*
Thou mayest not slay the passover within any of thy gates ,
which the Lord thy God giveth thee ;
*
But at the place which the Lord thy God will choose to let his name dwell in ,
there shalt thou slay the passover at evening ,
at the going down of the sun ,
at the season that thou camest forth out of Egypt .
*
And thou shalt roast and eat it in the place which the Lord thy God will choose ;
and thou shalt turn in the morning ,
and go unto thy tents .
*
Six days shalt thou eat unleavened bread ;
and on the seventh day shall be a solemn assembly to the Lord thy God :
thou shalt do no work .
