1 Keep the month of the new fruit, {Heb. of Abib} and thou shalt do the passover unto the Lord thy God; for in the month of the new fruit the Lord thy God brought thee forth out of Egypt by night.
2 Thou shalt, therefore, sacrifice the passover unto the Lord thy God, of the sheep and the cows, in the place which the Lord shall choose to cause his name to dwell therein.
3 Thou shalt eat no leavened bread with it; seven days shalt thou eat unleavened bread therewith, even the bread of affliction; for thou didst come forth out of the land of Egypt in haste; that thou may remember the day when thou didst come forth out of the land of Egypt all the days of thy life.
4 And there shall be no leavened bread seen in thee within all thy borders for seven days; neither shall any of the flesh which thou didst sacrifice the evening of the first day remain all night until the morning.
5 Thou may not sacrifice the passover within any of thy gates (or within any of thy towns) which the Lord thy God gives thee
6 but at the place which the Lord thy God shall choose to cause his name to dwell in; there thou shalt sacrifice the passover in the evening, at the going down of the sun, at the appointed time when thou came forth out of Egypt.
7 And thou shalt roast and eat it in the place which the Lord thy God shall choose, and thou shalt turn in the morning and return unto thy tabernacles.
