Passover and the Festival of Thin Bread

(Numbers 28.16-25)

The Lord said:

^4-5 (A) Passover is another time when you must come together to worship me, and it must be celebrated on the evening of the fourteenth day of the first month^[a] of each year.

^6 (B) The Festival of Thin Bread begins on the fifteenth day of that same month; it lasts seven days, and during this time you must honor me by eating bread made without yeast. ⁷ On the first day of this festival you must rest from your work and come together for worship. ⁸ Each day of this festival you must offer sacrifices. Then on the final day you must once again rest from your work and come together for worship.
