Exodus 12:14Easy To Read Version“So you will always remember tonight—it will be a special holiday for you. Your descendants [67] will honor the Lord with this holiday forever. See the chapter |
The first holiday will be the Festival of Unleavened Bread. This is like I commanded you. At this time you will eat bread that is made without yeast. This will continue for seven days. You will do this during the month of Abib, [146] because this is the time when you came out of Egypt. Every person must bring a sacrifice to me at that time.
Aaron and his sons will have the job of caring for the lamp. They will go into {the first room of} the Meeting Tent. [234] This is outside {the room with} the Agreement [235] that is behind the curtain {that separates the two rooms}. In this place they will make sure the lamp continues burning before the Lord from evening till morning. The people of Israel and their descendants [236] must obey this law forever.”
Go to the place the Lord will choose to be his special house. You and your people should enjoy yourselves together there with the Lord your God. Take all your people with you—your sons, your daughters, and all your servants. Also, take the Levites, [101] foreigners, orphans, [102] and widows [103] living in your towns.
