Observe the month of Abib, when thou shalt keep a passover unto Yahweh thy God, - for in the month of Abib, did Yahweh thy God bring thee forth out of Egypt by night:

therefore shalt thou sacrifice a passover unto Yahweh thy God of flock or herd, - in the place which Yahweh shall choose to make a habitation for his name there.

Thou shalt not eat therewith any thing leavened, seven days, shalt thou eat therewith unleavened cakes the bread of humiliation, - for in haste, camest thou forth out of the land of Egypt, that thou mayest remember the day when thou earnest forth out of the land of Egypt, all the days of thy life.

And there shall not be seen with thee leaven in any of thy bounds seven days, - neither shall there remain all night of the flesh which thou shalt sacrifice in the evening, on the first day, unto the morning.

Thou mayest not sacrifice the passover, - within any of thine own gates which Yahweh thy God is giving unto thee;

but in the place which Yahweh thy God shall choose to make a habitation for his name, there, shalt thou sacrifice the passover in the evening, - at the going in of the sun, at the very time thou earnest forth out of Egypt.

Therefore shalt thou cook and eat it in the place which Yahweh thy God, shall choose, - and shalt turn away in the morning, and go thy way unto thy tents.

Six days, shalt thou eat unleavened cakes, - and, on the seventh day, shall be a closing feast, unto Yahweh thy God, thou shalt do no work.
