Deuteronomy 16:5-7

New American Bible (Revised Edition)

⁵ You may not sacrifice the Passover in any of the communities which the Lord, your God, gives you; ⁶ only at the place which the Lord, your God, will choose as the dwelling place of his name, and in the evening at sunset, at the very time when you left Egypt, shall you sacrifice the Passover.^{(A) 7} You shall cook and eat it at the place the Lord, your God, will choose; then in the morning you may return to your tents.
