The Passover-Unleavened Bread Festival

16:1 Observe the month Abib ⁶  and keep the Passover to the Lord your God, for in that month ⁷  he ⁸  brought you out of Egypt by night. 16:2 You must sacrifice the Passover animal ⁹  (from the flock or the herd) to the Lord your God in the place where he ¹⁰  chooses to locate his name. 16:3 You must not eat any yeast with it; for seven days you must eat bread made without yeast, symbolic of affliction, for you came out of Egypt hurriedly. You must do this so you will remember for the rest of your life the day you came out of the land of Egypt. 16:4 There must not be a scrap of yeast within your land ¹¹  for seven days, nor can any of the meat you sacrifice on the evening of the first day remain until the next morning. ¹²  16:5 You may not sacrifice the Passover in just any of your villages ¹³  that the Lord your God is giving you, 16:6 but you must sacrifice it ¹⁴  in the evening in ¹⁵  the place where he ¹⁶  chooses to locate his name, at sunset, the time of day you came out of Egypt.

[23:5]  ¹ tn Heb “between the two evenings,” perhaps designating the time between the setting of the sun and the true darkness of night. Cf. KJV, ASV “at even”; NAB “at the evening twilight.”

[9:3]  ² tn The literal Hebrew expression is “between the evenings” (so also in vv. 5, 11). Sunset is certainly one evening; the other may refer to the change in the middle of the afternoon to the late afternoon, or the beginning of dusk. The idea is probably just at twilight, or dusk (see R. B. Allen, TWOT 2:694).

[9:3]  ³ tn The two verbs in this verse are identical; they are imperfects of instruction. The English translation has been modified for stylistic variation.

[9:3]  ⁴ tn The two words in this last section are standard “Torah” words. The word חֹק (khoq) is a binding statute, something engraved and monumental. The word מִשְׁפָּט (mishpat) means “judgment, decision,” but with a more general idea of “custom” at its core. The verse is making it very clear that the Passover had to follow the custom and form that was legislated in Egypt.

[28:18]  ⁵ tn Heb “any work [of] service”; this means any occupational work, that is, the ordinary service.

[16:1]  ⁶ sn The month Abib, later called Nisan (Neh 2:1; Esth 3:7), corresponds to March-April in the modern calendar.

[16:1]  ⁷ tn Heb “in the month Abib.” The demonstrative “that” has been used in the translation for stylistic reasons.

[16:1]  ⁸ tn Heb “the Lord your God.” The pronoun has been used in the translation for stylistic reasons to avoid redundancy.

[16:2]  ⁹ tn Heb “sacrifice the Passover” (so NASB). The word “animal” has been supplied in the translation for clarity.

[16:2]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “the Lord.” See note on “he” in the previous verse.

[16:4]  ¹¹ tn Heb “leaven must not be seen among you in all your border.”

[16:4]  ¹² tn Heb “remain all night until the morning” (so KJV, ASV). This has been simplified in the translation for stylistic reasons.

[16:5]  ¹³ tn Heb “gates.”

[16:6]  ¹⁴ tn Heb “the Passover.” The translation uses a pronoun to avoid redundancy in English.

[16:6]  ¹⁵ tc The MT reading אֶל (’el, “unto”) before “the place” should, following Smr, Syriac, Targums, and Vulgate, be omitted in favor of ב (bet; בַּמָּקוֹם, bammaqom), “in the place.”

[16:6]  ¹⁶ tn Heb “the Lord your God.” See note on “he” in 16:1.

[16:2]  ¹⁷ tn Heb “sacrifice the Passover” (so NASB). The word “animal” has been supplied in the translation for clarity.

[16:2]  ¹⁸ tn Heb “the Lord.” See note on “he” in the previous verse.
