Passover
Passover
These are the set feasts of Jehovah, even holy convocations, which ye shall proclaim in their appointed season. In the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month at even, is Jehovah’s passover.
He shall arrange the lamps on the lampstand of pure gold before the Lord regularly. “You shall take fine flour and bake twelve loaves from it; two tenths of an ephah shall be in each loaf.
Leviticus 24:4-5
This is what determines the first month of the year—Passover determined time.
What does “Passover” (פִּסְחָא,) mean?
Redemption!
The last of the 10 plagues God brought on Egypt was the death of the firstborn. In order to escape that plague, the Israelites had to observe the Passover
Tell all the congregation of Israel that on the tenth day of this month every man shall take a lamb according to their fathers’ houses, a lamb for a household.
Your lamb shall be without blemish, a male a year old. You may take it from the sheep or from the goats, and you shall keep it until the fourteenth day of this month, when the whole assembly of the congregation of Israel shall kill their lambs at twilight.
“Then they shall take some of the blood and put it on the two doorposts and the lintel of the houses in which they eat it.
Exodus 12:5
In this manner you shall eat it: with your belt fastened, your sandals on your feet, and your staff in your hand. And you shall eat it in haste. It is the Lord’s Passover. For I will pass through the land of Egypt that night, and I will strike all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both man and beast; and on all the gods of Egypt I will execute judgments: I am the Lord. The blood shall be a sign for you, on the houses where you are. And when I see the blood, I will pass over you, and no plague will befall you to destroy you, when I strike the land of Egypt.

The Lexham Bible Dictionary Exodus
The Israelites were to remove leaven from their homes (Exod 12:15), eat unleavened bread for seven days, and observe a holy assembly on the first and seventh days (Exod 12:15–16, 19–20). Anyone who ate leaven during this period was to be cut off from the congregation of Israel (Exod 12:15, 19).
The “unleavened bread” is called “the bread of affliction in .
The Gospels provide several examples of Jesus celebrating the Passover and Feast of Unleavened Bread in Jerusalem:
• records that at age 12 Jesus joined His parents on their annual trip to Jerusalem for the Passover.

During Jesus’ final celebration of the Passover and Feast of Unleavened Bread, He equated the bread with His body and the wine with His blood (Matt 26:26–29; Mark 14:23–25; Luke 22:19–20; see also John 6:30–58).

During the last Passover, Jesus instituted the Lord’s Supper.
Now as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and after blessing it broke it and gave it to the disciples, and said, “Take, eat; this is my body.” And he took a cup, and when he had given thanks he gave it to them, saying, “Drink of it, all of you, for this is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins. I tell you I will not drink again of this fruit of the vine until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father’s kingdom.”
Jesus is described as our Passover Lamb ().
