1 The Lord spoke to Moses,
2 “Tell the Israelites: These are the appointed festivals with the Lord, which you must announce as holy assemblies.
3 You may work for six days. But the seventh day is a day of worship, a day when you don’t work, a holy assembly. Don’t do any work. It is the Lord’s day of worship wherever you live.
4 “The following are the Lord’s appointed festivals with holy assemblies, which you must announce at their appointed times.
5 “The fourteenth day of the first month, in the evening, is the Lord’s Passover.
6 The fifteenth day of this same month is the Lord’s Festival of Unleavened Bread. For seven days you must eat unleavened bread.
7 On the first day there will be a holy assembly. Don’t do any regular work.
