Do not offer the blood of a sacrifice to me along with anything containing yeast, and do not let any of the sacrifice from the Passover Festival remain until morning. The ritual prohibitions for sacrifice — no leaven with blood, no Passover meat until morning — are reissued in the covenant renewal. The consistency of these prohibitions across the original covenant and its renewal communicates their permanent character. The covenant renewal does not revise the covenant's requirements; it restores the community to the requirements that the apostasy interrupted. The form of true worship does not change when the worshippers return.
