Vayikra 23:5 Meaning and Commentary

Leviticus 23:5

In the fourteenth [day] of the first month
The month Nisan, the same with Abib, the month in which the children of Israel came out of Egypt, for which reason it was made the first month in the year, answering to part of our March and part of April; and for the same reason was the passover kept at this time, as follows: at even [is] the Lord's passover;
that is, that was the time for the keeping the passover, even "between the two evenings", as it may be rendered; from the sixth hour and onward, as Jarchi, trial is, after noon or twelve o'clock the middle of the day, as Gersom, when the sun began to decline; (See Gill on Exodus 12:6).

Vayikra 23:5 In-Context

3 Sheshet yamim shall work be done; but the yom hashevi’i is the Shabbos of Shabbaton, a mikra kodesh; ye shall do no work therein: it is the Shabbos to Hashem in all your dwellings.

4 These are the Moa’dim of Hashem, even mikra’ei kodesh, which ye shall proclaim in their mo’adim.

5 In the fourteenth day of the first month at twilight is Hashem’s Pesach.

6 And on the fifteenth day of the same month is the Chag HaMatzot unto Hashem; shivat yamim ye must eat matzot.

7 In the Yom HaRishon ye shall have a mikra kodesh; ye shall do no melekhet avodah therein.
