Deuteronomy 16:1-8

Thomson(i) 1 Observe the month of New things, and keep the passover to the Lord thy God, because in the month of New things thou didst come out of the land of Egypt, by night. 2 And at the passover thou shalt sacrifice to the Lord thy God, sheep, and kine, in the place which the Lord thy God shall chuse for his name to be there invoked. 3 At it thou shalt not eat leaven. Seven days, at it, thou shalt eat unleavened bread; the bread of affliction, because you came in haste out of Egypt, that you may remember the day of your coming out of the land of Egypt, all the days of your life. 4 No leaven shall be seen in all thy borders for seven days, and none of the flesh of that which you shall sacrifice on the evening of the first day shall be left till the morning. 5 Thou shalt not be at liberty to keep the passover in any of the cities which the Lord thy God giveth thee, 6 but only in the place which the Lord thy God shall chuse, for his name to be there invoked. Thou shalt kill the passover in the evening, at the setting of the sun, in the season thou didst come out of Egypt. 7 And when thou hast cooked, and roasted, and eaten it, in the place which the Lord thy God hath chosen, in the morning thou mayst return and go home. 8 Six days thou shalt eat unleavened bread; and on the seventh day shall be the Exod; a festival to the Lord thy God. On it thou shalt not do any work, but what is necessary for life.
