EXODUS 34:18 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“The feast of unleavened bread shalt thou keep. Seven days thou shalt eat unleavened bread, as I commanded thee, in the time of the month Abib: for in the month Abib thou camest out from Egypt.”
Celebrate the Festival of Unleavened Bread. For seven days eat bread made without yeast, as I commanded you. Do this at the appointed time in the month of Aviv, for in that month you came out of Egypt. The feast calendar is reissued in the covenant renewal. The same feasts commanded in Exodus 23:15–17 are recommissioned in the context of restored relationship. The Festival of Unleavened Bread grounds ongoing worship in the historical event of the Exodus: you came out of Egypt. The covenant renewal does not create a new religion; it restores and reaffirms the one founded on the specific historical act of divine liberation.
