  • 2 Chr 30:2-9 : 2 The king, his officials, and the whole assembly in Jerusalem decided to observe the Passover in the second month. 3 They could not celebrate it at the proper time because not enough priests had consecrated themselves, and the people had not gathered in Jerusalem. 4 This plan seemed right to the king and the whole assembly. 5 So they decided to send a proclamation throughout all Israel, from Beersheba to Dan, calling the people to come to Jerusalem to celebrate the Passover to the LORD, the God of Israel, because it had not been observed in large numbers as prescribed. 6 Couriers went with the letters from the king and his officials throughout Israel and Judah, proclaiming the king’s command: 'Return to the LORD, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, so that He may return to the remnant of you who have escaped from the hand of the kings of Assyria.' 7 Do not be like your ancestors and your brothers, who were unfaithful to the LORD, the God of their ancestors, so that He made them an object of horror, as you can see. 8 Now do not harden your necks as your ancestors did. Submit to the LORD; come to His sanctuary, which He has consecrated forever. Serve the LORD your God so that His fierce anger will turn away from you. 9 If you return to the LORD, your brothers and your children will be shown compassion by those who took them captive, and they will return to this land. For the LORD your God is gracious and compassionate. He will not turn His face from you if you return to Him. 10 The couriers went from city to city throughout the land of Ephraim and Manasseh and as far as Zebulun, but the people laughed at them and mocked them. 11 Nevertheless, some people from Asher, Manasseh, and Zebulun humbled themselves and came to Jerusalem. 12 In Judah also, the hand of God was at work to give them one heart to obey the command of the king and the officials, in accordance with the word of the LORD. 13 A very large crowd of people assembled in Jerusalem to celebrate the Feast of Unleavened Bread in the second month. 14 They removed the altars in Jerusalem, as well as all the incense altars, and threw them into the Kidron Valley. 15 They slaughtered the Passover lambs on the fourteenth day of the second month. The priests and Levites, ashamed of their neglect, consecrated themselves and brought burnt offerings to the temple of the LORD.

  • Exod 12:2-9 : 2 This month shall be the beginning of months for you; it shall be the first month of the year for you. 3 Tell the whole community of Israel: On the tenth day of this month, each man must take a lamb for his family, one lamb per household. 4 If a household is too small for a lamb, they must join with their nearest neighbor, taking into account the number of people; divide the lamb according to what each person will eat. 5 Your lamb must be an unblemished male, a year old; you may take it from either the sheep or the goats. 6 Keep it until the fourteenth day of this month. Then the whole assembly of the community of Israel shall slaughter it at twilight. 7 They shall take some of the blood and put it on the two doorposts and the lintel of the houses where they eat it. 8 They shall eat the meat that night, roasted over the fire, along with unleavened bread and bitter herbs. 9 Do not eat it raw or boiled in water, but only roasted over the fire—its head, legs, and inner parts. 10 Do not leave any of it until morning; if any is left over until morning, burn it in the fire. 11 This is how you are to eat it: with your cloak tucked into your belt, your sandals on your feet, and your staff in your hand. Eat it in haste; it is the LORD's Passover. 12 For I will pass through the land of Egypt that night and strike down every firstborn in the land of Egypt, both man and beast, and I will execute judgments against all the gods of Egypt. I am the LORD. 13 The blood will be a sign for you on the houses where you are. When I see the blood, I will pass over you, and no plague will come upon you to destroy you when I strike the land of Egypt. 14 This day shall be a memorial for you, and you shall celebrate it as a feast to the LORD; throughout your generations, as a perpetual ordinance, you shall celebrate it.
  • Exod 12:43-49 : 43 The LORD said to Moses and Aaron: This is the statute of the Passover: No foreigner is to eat of it. 44 But any slave who has been purchased may eat of it after you have circumcised him. 45 A temporary resident or hired servant may not eat of it. 46 It must be eaten in a single house; you are not to take any of the meat outside the house, and you must not break any of its bones. 47 The whole community of Israel must celebrate it. 48 If an alien resides among you and wants to observe the LORD's Passover, every male in his household must be circumcised, and then he may come near to observe it, and he shall be like a native of the land. But no uncircumcised person may eat it. 49 The same law applies to the native-born and to the foreigner residing among you.
