1 The Lord spoke to Moses in the Desert of Sinai. This was in the first month of the second year after the Israelites left Egypt. He said,
2 “Tell the Israelites to celebrate the Passover at the appointed time.
3 That appointed time is the fourteenth day of this month. They should celebrate it at twilight. They must obey all the rules about it.”
4 So Moses told the Israelites to celebrate the Passover.
