Exodus 12:14–20

¹⁴“This is a day you are to commemorate;^o for the generations to come you shall celebrate it as a festival to the Lord—a lasting ordinance.^{p 15}For seven days you are to eat bread made without yeast.^q On the first day remove the yeast from your houses, for whoever eats anything with yeast in it from the first day through the seventh must be cut off^r from Israel. ¹⁶On the first day hold a sacred assembly, and another one on the seventh day. Do no work^s at all on these days, except to prepare food for everyone to eat; that is all you may do.

¹⁷“Celebrate the Festival of Unleavened Bread,^t because it was on this very day that I brought your divisions out of Egypt.^u Celebrate this day as a lasting ordinance for the generations to come.^{v 18}In the first month^w you are to eat bread made without yeast, from the evening of the fourteenth day until the evening of the twenty-first day. ¹⁹For seven days no yeast is to be found in your houses. And anyone, whether foreigner^x or native-born, who eats anything with yeast in it must be cut off^y from the community of Israel. ²⁰Eat nothing made with yeast. Wherever you live,^z you must eat unleavened bread.”^a
