³Then Moses said to the people, “Remember this day—the day when you left Egypt, the land of slavery. The Lord used his mighty hand to bring you out of there. Don’t eat anything made with yeast. ⁴Today, in the month of Abib, you are leaving Egypt. ⁵The Lord swore to your ancestors that he would give you the land of the Canaanites, Hittites, Amorites, Hivites, and Jebusites. When he brings you into that land flowing with milk and honey, you must observe this ceremony in this month.

⁶“For seven days you must eat unleavened bread. The seventh day will be a pilgrimage festival in the Lord’s honor. ⁷Only unleavened bread should be eaten during these seven days. No sourdough or yeast should be seen anywhere in your territory. ⁸On that day tell your children, ‘We do this because of what the Lord did for us when we left Egypt.’ ⁹This ⸤festival⸥ will be ⸤like⸥ a mark on your hand or a reminder on your forehead that the teachings of the Lord are ⸤always⸥ to be a part of your conversation. Because the Lord used his mighty hand to bring you out of Egypt, ¹⁰you must follow these rules every year at this time.
