Leviticus 23:2-8

²“Tell the Israeli people about the festivals that I have chosen, the days when you all must gather together to worship me.

³You may work for six days each week, but on the seventh day you must not do any work. You must rest. It is a sacred/holy day when you must gather together to worship me. Wherever you live, you must rest on that day.

⁴There are festivals that I have established for you. Those will also be sacred/holy days when you must gather together to worship me.

⁵The first festival is ◄the Passover/when you remember that I spared your ancestors when I killed all the firstborn Egyptian sons►. That festival will begin at twilight/dusk/sunset on the chosen day ◄each spring/in March or April each year►, and end on the following day.

⁶The next day, the Festival of Eating Bread That Has No Yeast will begin. That festival will continue for seven days. During that time, the bread that you eat must be made without yeast.

⁷On the first day of that festival, you all must stop your regular work and you must gather together to worship me.

⁸On each of the seven days, you must present to me several animals to be an offering/sacrifice to be completely burned on the altar. On the seventh day, you all must again stop your regular work and gather to worship me.”
