Deuteronomy 16:1–6

The Passover Reviewed

16“Observe the ^amonth of Abib, and keep the Passover to the Lord your God, for ^bin the month of Abib the Lord your God brought you out of Egypt by night. ²Therefore you shall sacrifice the Passover to the Lord your God, from the flock and ^cthe herd, in the ^dplace where the Lord chooses to put His name. ³You shall eat no leavened bread with it; ^eseven days you shall eat unleavened bread with it, that is, the bread of affliction (for you came out of the land of Egypt in haste), that you may ^fremember the day in which you came out of the land of Egypt all the days of your life. ^4gAnd no leaven shall be seen among you in all your territory for seven days, nor shall any of the meat which you sacrifice the first day at twilight remain overnight until ^hmorning.

⁵“You may not sacrifice the Passover within any of your gates which the Lord your God gives you; ⁶but at the place where the Lord your God chooses to make His name abide, there you shall sacrifice the Passover ⁱat twilight, at the going down of the sun, at the time you came out of Egypt.
