4 " 'These [are] Yahweh's appointed times, holy assemblies, which you shall proclaim at their appointed time

5 In the first month, on the fourteenth of the month at the evening [is] Yahweh's Passover.

6 And on the fifteenth day of this month [is] Yahweh's Feast of Unleavened Bread; [for] seven days you shall eat unleavened bread.

7 On the first day [there] shall be a holy assembly for you; you shall not do {any regular work}.
