Then Moses said to the people, “Commemorate this day, the day you came out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery, because the LORD brought you out of it with a mighty hand. Eat nothing containing yeast.  Today, in the month of Abib, you are leaving.  When the LORD brings you into the land of the Canaanites, Hittites, Amorites, Hivites and Jebusites–the land he swore to your forefathers to give you, a land flowing with milk and honey–you are to observe this ceremony in this month:  For seven days eat bread made without yeast and on the seventh day hold a festival to the LORD.  Eat unleavened bread during those seven days; nothing with yeast in it is to be seen among you, nor shall any yeast be seen anywhere within your borders.  On that day tell your son, `I do this because of what the LORD did for me when I came out of Egypt.’  This observance will be for you like a sign on your hand and a reminder on your forehead that the law of the LORD is to be on your lips.  For the LORD brought you out of Egypt with his mighty hand.  You must keep this ordinance at the appointed time year after year. – Exodus 13:3-10 (NIB)

“Three times a year you are to celebrate a festival to Me.  Celebrate the Feast of Unleavened Bread; for seven days eat bread made without yeast, as I commanded you.  Do this at the appointed time in the month of Abib, for in that month you came out of Egypt.  No-one is to appear before me empty-handed. – Exodus 23:14-15 (NIB)

“Celebrate the Feast of Unleavened Bread. For seven days eat bread made without yeast, as I commanded you. Do this at the appointed time in the month of Abib, for in that month you came out of Egypt.” – Exodus 34:18 (NIB)

The LORD said to Moses, “Speak to the Israelites and say to them: `These are my appointed feasts, the appointed feasts of the LORD, which you are to proclaim as sacred assemblies. – Leviticus 23:1-2 (NIB)

On the fifteenth day of that month the LORD’s Feast of Unleavened Bread begins; for seven days you must eat bread made without yeast. On the first day hold a sacred assembly and do no regular work. For seven days present an offering made to the LORD by fire. And on the seventh day hold a sacred assembly and do no regular work.’” – Leviticus 23:6-8 (NIB)

The Israelites set out from Rameses on the fifteenth day of the first month, the day after the Passover.  They marched out boldly in full view of all the Egyptians, who were burying all their firstborn, whom the LORD had struck down among them; for the LORD had brought judgment on their gods. – Numbers 33:3-4 (NIB)
