And in the fourteenth day of the first month is the passover of the LORD.

In the fourteenth day of the first month is the Passover. The law for that great annual festival is given, Leviticus 23:5, but some details are here introduced, as certain specified offerings are prescribed to be made on each of the seven days of unleavened bread. It is observable that the Passover х Pecach (H6453)] or paschal supper, which was prepared on the fourteenth of the first month, and eaten at evening (Numbers 28:16), is distinguished (Numbers 28:17) from the feast, or festival х chaag (H2282); Septuagint, heortee (G1859)], which began on the fifteenth, and continued for seven days (cf. Luke 2:41; Luke 22:1).
