Exodus 12:14–20

¹⁴“And this day will become a memorial for you, and you will celebrate it as a religious feast for Yahweh throughout your generations; you will celebrate it as a lasting statute. ¹⁵You will eat unleavened bread for seven days. Surely on the first day you shall remove yeast from your houses, because anyone who eats food with yeast from the first day until the seventh day—that person will be cut off from Israel. ¹⁶It will be for you on the first day a holy assembly^g and on the seventh day a holy assembly;^h no work will be done on them; only what is eaten by every person, it alone will be prepared for you.

¹⁷“And you will keep the Feast of Unleavened Bread, because on this very day I brought out your divisions from the land of Egypt, and you will keep this day for your generations as a lasting statute. ¹⁸On the first day, on the fourteenth day of the month, in the evening, you will eat unleavened bread until the evening of the twenty-first day of the month. ¹⁹For seven days yeast must not be found in your houses, because anyone eating food with yeastⁱ will be cut off from the community of Israel—whether an alien or a native of the land. ²⁰You will eat no food with yeast; in all of your dwellings you will eat unleavened bread.”
