  • Exod 34:18 : 18 You are to observe the Feast of Unleavened Bread. For seven days you are to eat unleavened bread, as I commanded you, at the appointed time in the month of Abib, because in the month of Abib you came out of Egypt.
  • Exod 13:4 : 4 Today, in the month of Abib, you are leaving.
  • 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. 15 For seven days you shall eat unleavened bread. On the first day, remove leaven from your houses, for whoever eats anything leavened from the first day until the seventh day must be cut off from Israel. 16 On the first day you shall hold a sacred assembly, and on the seventh day also a sacred assembly. No work shall be done on those days, except what each person must eat—that alone may be prepared by you. 17 You shall observe the Feast of Unleavened Bread, for on this very day I brought your hosts out of the land of Egypt. Therefore, you shall observe this day throughout your generations as a perpetual ordinance. 18 From the evening of the fourteenth day of the first month until the evening of the twenty-first day, you shall eat unleavened bread. 19 For seven days no leaven shall be found in your houses, for whoever eats anything leavened, that person shall be cut off from the community of Israel, whether they are a foreigner or a native of the land. 20 You shall eat nothing leavened; in all your dwellings, you shall eat unleavened bread.

  • Exod 12:29-42 : 29 At midnight, the LORD struck every firstborn in the land of Egypt, from the firstborn of Pharaoh who sat on his throne to the firstborn of the prisoner in the dungeon, and every firstborn of the livestock. 30 Pharaoh got up during the night, along with all his officials and all the Egyptians, and there was loud wailing in Egypt, for there was no house without someone dead. 31 During the night, Pharaoh summoned Moses and Aaron and said, 'Get up, leave my people, you and the Israelites! Go, worship the LORD as you have requested.' 32 'Take your flocks and herds, as you have said, and go. And also bless me.' 33 The Egyptians pressured the people to send them out of the land quickly, for they said, 'We are all going to die!' 34 So the people took their dough before it was leavened, with their kneading bowls wrapped in their clothes and carried on their shoulders. 35 The Israelites did as Moses instructed and asked the Egyptians for articles of silver and gold, and for clothing. 36 The LORD had made the Egyptians favorably disposed toward the people, and they gave them what they asked for; so they plundered the Egyptians. 37 The Israelites journeyed from Rameses to Succoth. There were about six hundred thousand men on foot, besides women and children. 38 A mixed multitude also went up with them, along with flocks, herds, and a great deal of livestock. 39 They baked the dough they had brought out of Egypt into unleavened cakes, for it had not risen because they were driven out of Egypt and could not delay, nor had they prepared any provisions for themselves. 40 Now the time that the Israelites lived in Egypt was four hundred thirty years. 41 At the end of four hundred thirty years, to the very day, all the LORD's hosts came out of the land of Egypt. 42 It is a night to be observed for the LORD, for having brought them out of the land of Egypt. This is the night for the LORD, to be observed by all the Israelites for generations to come.
