Numbers 28:16-25

Passover and the Feast of Unleavened Bread

16 The fourteenth day of the first month is the LORD’s Passover. ¹

17 On the fifteenth day of this month, there shall be a feast; for seven days unleavened bread is to be eaten.

18 On the first day there is to be a sacred assembly; you must not do any regular work.

19 Present to the LORD a food offering, a burnt offering of two young bulls, one ram, and seven male lambs a year old, all unblemished.

20 The grain offering shall consist of fine flour mixed with oil; offer three-tenths of an ephah with each bull, two-tenths of an ephah with the ram,

21 and a tenth of an ephah with each of the seven lambs.

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

23 You are to present these in addition to the regular morning burnt offering.

24 Offer the same food each day for seven days as a food offering, a pleasing aroma to the LORD. It is to be offered with its drink offering and the regular burnt offering.

25 On the seventh day you shall hold a sacred assembly; you must not do any regular work.
