Deuteronomy 16:1-3

Good News Translation

The Passover^(A)

16 ^(B)“Honor the Lord your God by celebrating Passover in the month of Abib; it was on a night in that month that he rescued you from Egypt. ² Go to the one place of worship and slaughter there one of your sheep or cattle for the Passover meal to honor the Lord your God. ³ When you eat this meal, do not eat bread prepared with yeast. For seven days you are to eat bread prepared without yeast, as you did when you had to leave Egypt in such a hurry. Eat this bread—it will be called the bread of suffering—so that as long as you live you will remember the day you came out of Egypt, that place of suffering.
