We discussed the institution of the first Passover in Egypt which slew the first-born son and beast belonging to every household which was not covered by the blood of a lamb. Pharaoh lost his first-born son, heir to his throne. Passover was the first of the Lord's three Feasts each of which reflected an aspect of their flight from Egypt to entry into the Promised Land - Passover, Pentecost and Tabernacles. In this article we are primarily interested in God's timing of the Passover Feast. God was so particular about its' timing that He found it necessary to institute a new calendar, which was exactly out of phase with the previous civic calendar,

‘And Jehovah spoke to Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt, saying: This month shall be to you the beginning of months. It shall be the first month of the year to you. Speak to all the congregation of Israel, saying: In the tenth of this month they shall take to them each man a lamb for a father's house, a lamb for a house. And, if the household is too little for the lamb, let him and his neighbour next to his house take according to the number of the souls, each one, according to the eating of his mouth, you shall count concerning the lamb. Your lamb shall be without blemish, a male of the first year. You shall take from the sheep or from the goats. And you shall keep it up until the fourteenth day of the same month. And the whole assembly of the congregation of Israel shall kill it in the evening. And they shall take some of the blood and strike on the two side posts and upon the upper door post of the houses in which they shall eat it. And they shall eat the flesh in that night, roasted with fire and unleavened bread. They shall eat it with bitter herbs. Do not eat of it raw, nor boiled at all with water, but roasted with fire, its head with its legs, and with its inward parts. And you shall not let any of it remain until the morning.

And that which remains of it until the morning you shall burn with fire. And you shall eat of it this way, with your loins girded, your sandals on your feet, and your staff in your hand. And you shall eat it in a hurry. It is Jehovah's Passover patterns. For I will pass through the land of Egypt this night and will smite all the first-born in the land of Egypt, both man and beast. And I will execute judgments against all the gods of Egypt. I am Jehovah. And the blood shall be a sign to you upon the houses where you are. And, when I see the blood, I will pass over you. And the plague shall not be upon you for a destruction when I smite in the land of Egypt. And this day shall be a memorial to you.
