“Let the children of Israel also keep the passover at his appointed season.”
'Let the Israelites keep the Passover at its appointed time' — the imperative 'keep' (asah) reflects the Passover's status as a perpetual covenant obligation. The phrase 'at its appointed time' (bemoed) emphasizes that the Passover has a precise calendar moment: the fourteenth day of the first month. God's command inaugurates the pattern whereby Israel perpetually commemorates its exodus deliverance.
