(SEE 30:1)

And on the fourteenth day of the month they killed the lambs for the Passover sacrifice. The priests and Levites who were not ritually clean became so ashamed that they dedicated themselves to the LORD, and now they could sacrifice burnt offerings in the Temple.

for then he would have had to suffer many times ever since the creation of the world. Instead, now when all ages of time are nearing the end, he has appeared once and for all, to remove sin through the sacrifice of himself.

you are permitted to observe it one month later instead, on the evening of the fourteenth day of the second month. Celebrate it with unleavened bread and bitter herbs.

Do not leave any of the food until the following morning and do not break any of the animal's bones. Observe the Passover according to all the regulations.

The people are to take some of the blood and put it on the doorposts and above the doors of the houses in which the animals are to be eaten.

Do not eat any of it raw or boiled, but eat it roasted whole, including the head, the legs, and the internal organs.

You are to eat it quickly, for you are to be dressed for travel, with your sandals on your feet and your walking stick in your hand. It is the Passover Festival to honor me, the LORD.
