The account of the Children of Israel keeping the Passover and the Feast of Unleavened Bread for seven days indicates the full liturgical observance of the festival as prescribed, with the Passover meal followed by the extended festival period. The specification of the Children of Israel (rather than merely Judah) reiterates the reform's vision of reunifying the covenant people around authentic Law observance. The duration mentioned emphasizes the festival's comprehensiveness and the people's commitment to honoring God through extended ceremonial action. This verse portrays the reformed community engaged in extended communal worship expressing their covenantal identity.
