Monday in Season after Pentecost

14Verse 14. And this day will be a memorial for you, and you are to celebrate it as a feast to the LORD, as a permanent statute for the generations to come. 15Verse 15. For seven days you must eat unleavened bread. On the first day you are to remove the leaven from your houses. Whoever eats anything leavened from the first day through the seventh must be cut off from Israel. 16Verse 16. On the first day you are to hold a sacred assembly, and another on the seventh day. You must not do any work on those days, except to prepare the meals — that is all you may do. 17Verse 17. So you are to keep the Feast of Unleavened Bread, for on this very day I brought your divisions out of the land of Egypt. You must keep this day as a permanent statute for the generations to come. 18Verse 18. In the first month you are to eat unleavened bread, from the evening of the fourteenth day until the evening of the twenty-first day. 19Verse 19. For seven days there must be no leaven found in your houses. If anyone eats something leavened, that person, whether a foreigner or native of the land, must be cut off from the congregation of Israel. 20Verse 20. You are not to eat anything leavened; eat unleavened bread in all your homes.” 21Verse 21. Then Moses summoned all the elders of Israel and told them, “Go at once and select for yourselves a lamb for each family, and slaughter the Passover lamb. 22Verse 22. Take a cluster of hyssop, dip it into the blood in the basin, and brush the blood on the top and sides of the doorframe. None of you shall go out the door of his house until morning. 23Verse 23. When the LORD passes through to strike down the Egyptians, He will see the blood on the top and sides of the doorframe and will pass over that doorway; so He will not allow the destroyer to enter your houses and strike you down. 24Verse 24. And you are to keep this command as a permanent statute for you and your descendants. 25Verse 25. When you enter the land that the LORD will give you as He promised, you are to keep this service. 26Verse 26. When your children ask you, ‘What does this service mean to you?’ 27Verse 27. you are to reply, ‘It is the Passover sacrifice to the LORD, who passed over the houses of the Israelites in Egypt when He struck down the Egyptians and spared our homes.’” Then the people bowed down and worshiped. 28Verse 28. And the Israelites went and did just what the LORD had commanded Moses and Aaron.

27Verse 27. And if one of the common people sins unintentionally and does what is prohibited by any of the LORD’s commandments, he incurs guilt. 28Verse 28. When he becomes aware of the sin he has committed, he must bring an unblemished female goat as his offering for that sin. 29Verse 29. He is to lay his hand on the head of the sin offering and slaughter it at the place of the burnt offering. 30Verse 30. Then the priest is to take some of its blood with his finger, put it on the horns of the altar of burnt offering, and pour out the rest of the blood at the base of the altar. 31Verse 31. Then he is to remove all the fat, just as it is removed from the peace offering, and the priest is to burn it on the altar as a pleasing aroma to the LORD. In this way the priest will make atonement for him, and he will be forgiven.
