23 Then Yahweh told Mosheh:

2 Tell the Israelis that they must proclaim Yahweh’s scheduled festivals as sacred assemblies at the given times.

3 Work for six days, then the seventh is a rest day for a sacred assembly—don’t work on that day—wherever you live it’s a rest day to honour Yahweh.[ref]

4 The following are the scheduled festivals that you must proclaim at the appointed times as sacred assemblies:

5 The 14th of the first month (Nisan = March/April) each year at twilight is the start of the celebration to honour Yahweh with the ‘passover’.[ref]

6 Then the next day (the 15th) is the start of the festival of flat bread to honour Yahweh—you all must eat bread made without any rising agent for seven days.[ref] 7 On that first day you’ll hold a sacred assembly—no regular work may be done that day. 8 For seven days you all must present offerings to Yahweh, then the seventh day is another sacred assembly—again no regular work may be done that day.
