    • The Passover celebration began at the end of Abib 13 and the beginning of Abib 14, where each head of household would sacrifice a selected Passover lamb at their home.

    The Passover Rituals

    • The lamb was slaughtered at sunset, and its blood was used to paint the door posts and lintel of the homes.
    • The families would then eat the cooked lamb with matza and bitter herbs in haste, dressed and ready to leave at any moment.
    • After dinner, all leftover flesh was burnt as commanded by Yehovah.

    The Protection of Yehovah

    • The families remained together all night in the home where they had eaten the Lamb, with no one allowed to open their door or look outside.
    • Any house that did not have the blood stains of the Lamb was subject to the 10th and final plague, the death angel, while houses with the blood stains were protected by Yehovah.
    • The next day, at daylight in the morning, all neighbors could return to their separate homes.

    The Significance of the Passover Process

    • The entire Passover process, from slaughtering to cooking and eating, would have taken hours to complete, requiring the Israelites to stay awake all night.
