1 The Lord said to Moses,
2 “Tell the people of Israel: ‘You will announce the Lord’s appointed feasts as holy meetings. These are my special feasts.
3 “‘There are six days for you to work. But the seventh day will be a special day of rest. It is a day for a holy meeting. You must not do any work. It is a Sabbath to the Lord in all your homes.
4 “‘These are the Lord’s appointed feasts. You will announce the holy meetings at the times set for them.
5 The Lord’s Passover is on the fourteenth day of the first month. It begins at twilight.
6 The Feast of Unleavened Bread begins on the fifteenth day of the same month. You will eat bread made without yeast for seven days.
7 On the first day of this feast you will have a holy meeting. On that day you must not do any work.
