The Passover

16 “ ‘On the fourteenth day of the first month the LORD’s Passover is to be held.

17 On the fifteenth day of this month there is to be a festival; for seven days eat bread made without yeast.

18 On the first day hold a sacred assembly and do no regular work.

19 Present to the LORD a food offering consisting of a burnt offering of two young bulls, one ram and seven male lambs a year old, all without defect.

20 With each bull offer a grain offering of three-tenths of an ephah of the finest flour mixed with oil; with the ram, two-tenths;

21 and with each of the seven lambs, one-tenth.

22 Include one male goat as a sin offering to make atonement for you.
