Deuteronomy 16:1-5 Contemporary English Version Anglicised (CEVUK00)

1. People of Israel, you must celebrate Passover in the month of Abib, because one night in that month years ago, the Lord your God rescued you from Egypt.

2. The Passover sacrifice must be a cow, a sheep, or a goat, and you must offer it at the place where the Lord chooses to be worshipped.

3-4. Eat all the meat of the Passover sacrifice that same night. But don't serve bread made with yeast at the Passover meal. Serve the same kind of thin bread that you ate when you were slaves suffering in Egypt and when you had to leave Egypt quickly. As long as you live, this thin bread will remind you of the day you left Egypt.For seven days following Passover, don't make any bread with yeast. In fact, there should be no yeast anywhere in Israel.

5. Don't offer the Passover sacrifice in any town where you happen to live.
