This timing is significant as it marks the beginning of the Jewish festival cycle and commemorates the Israelites' exodus from Egypt. The date is established in <a href="/exodus/12-6.htm">Exodus 12:6</a> and is a perpetual ordinance for the Israelites. The first month, Nisan, corresponds to March-April in the Gregorian calendar.<p><b>you are to observe the Passover</b><br>The Passover is a foundational event in Jewish history, instituted in <a href="/exodus/12.htm">Exodus 12:1-14</a>. It commemorates God's deliverance of the Israelites from slavery in Egypt, specifically the night when the Lord passed over the houses of the Israelites marked with lamb's blood, sparing their firstborn sons. This observance is a reminder of God's faithfulness and power. In Christian theology, the Passover is seen as a type of Christ, with Jesus being the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world (<a href="/john/1-29.htm">John 1:29</a>).<p><b>a feast of seven days</b><br>The Passover is immediately followed by the Feast of Unleavened Bread, which lasts for seven days. This is detailed in <a href="/exodus/12-15.htm">Exodus 12:15-20</a> and <a href="/leviticus/23-6.htm">Leviticus 23:6-8</a>. The seven-day duration signifies completeness and perfection in biblical numerology. The feast is a time of reflection on the haste of the Israelites' departure from Egypt, as they did not have time to let their bread rise.<p><b>during which unleavened bread shall be eaten</b><br>Unleavened bread, or matzah, is eaten during this period to symbolize the purity and separation from sin, as leaven is often associated with sin in the Bible (<a href="/1_corinthians/5-6.htm">1 Corinthians 5:6-8</a>). The absence of leaven also recalls the haste of the Exodus, as the Israelites left Egypt quickly and could not wait for their bread to rise.

Though the selection of the lamb upon the tenth day of the first month is not specified, it may be assumed that this would be implied in the appointment of a Passover which should begin on the day already legalized by the Mosaic Torah. According to Wellhausen and Smend, the first mention of the Passover occurs in <a href="/deuteronomy/16-2.htm">Deuteronomy 16:2, 5, 6</a>, and the next in <a href="/2_kings/23-22.htm">2 Kings 23:22</a>; but this can only be maintained by declaring <a href="/exodus/34-25.htm">Exodus 34:25</a>, which occurs in the so-called "Book of the Covenant" - a pre-Deuteronomic work - "a gloss," and by relegating <a href="/exodus/12.htm">Exodus 12</a>. to the "priest-code" for no other reason than that it alludes to the Passover (vers. 11, 21, 27, 43) - a principle of easy application, and capable of being used to prove anything. Smend likewise regards it as strange that the Passover should be made to commence on the fourteenth of the month, and not, as the autumn feast, on the fifteenth (ver. 25); and suggests that the original reading, which he supposes was the fifteenth, may have been corrected subsequently in accordance with the priest, code. But if the priest-cede was posterior to and modeled after Ezekiel. Why should it have ordained the fourteenth instead of that which its master recommended, viz. the fifteenth? A sufficient explanation of the differing dates in Ezekiel is supplied if Ezekiel, in fixing them, may be held to have followed the so-called priest-cede. <span class="cmt_word">A feast of seven days</span>; <span class="accented">literally</span>, <span class="accented">a feast of hebdomad of days</span> (<span class="hebrew">חַג שְׁבֻעות יָמִים</span>). By almost all interpreters this is understood to mean "a feast of a full week, the exact duration of the Feast of Unleavened Bread, which began with the eating of the Paschal lamb (<a href="/exodus/12-8.htm">Exodus 12:8, 15-20</a>; <a href="/leviticus/23-6.htm">Leviticus 23:6</a>; <a href="/numbers/9-11.htm">Numbers 9:11</a>; <a href="/deuteronomy/16-3.htm">Deuteronomy 16:3, 4</a>). At the same time, it is frankly admitted that, to extract this sense from the words, <span class="hebrew">שְׁבֻעות</span> must be changed into <span class="hebrew">שְׁבְעַת</span>. As the words stand, they can only signify a feast of weeks of days. <span class="hebrew">חַג שְׁבֻעות</span>, in <a href="/exodus/34-22.htm">Exodus 34:22</a> and <a href="/deuteronomy/16-10.htm">Deuteronomy 16:10</a>, is applied to the Feast of Pentecost, which was called "a Feast of <span class="accented">Hebdomads</span>," from the seven weeks which intervened between the Passover and it. Hence Kliefoth, adhering to the legitimate sense of the expression, understands the prophet to say that the whole period of seven weeks between the first Passover and Pentecost should be celebrated in the new dispensation as a Feast of Unleavened Bread. In support of this Kliefoth cites a similar use of the word "days" in <a href="/genesis/29-14.htm">Genesis 29:14</a>; <a href="/genesis/41-1.htm">Genesis 41:1</a>; <a href="/deuteronomy/21-13.htm">Deuteronomy 21:13</a>; <a href="/2_kings/15-13.htm">2 Kings 15:13</a>; <a href="/jeremiah/28-3.htm">Jeremiah 28:3, 11</a>; <a href="/daniel/10-2.htm">Daniel 10:2, 3</a>; and certainly no objection can be taken to a Passover of seven weeks, if Ezekiel may be supposed to have been merely expressing analogically spiritual conceptions, and not furnishing actual legislation to be afterwards put in operation. Against this translation, however, Keil urges that the expression, "seven days of the feast" (ver. 23), appears to mark the duration of the festival; but this is not so convincing as its author imagines, since the prophet may be held as describing, in vers. 23, 24, the procedure of each seven days without intending to unsay what he had already stated, that the feast should continue seven weeks of days. A second objection pressed by Keil, that <span class="hebrew">יָמִים</span> "is not usually connected with the preceding noun in the construct state, but is attached as an adverbial accusative," as in the above-cited passages, is sufficiently disposed of by Kliefoth's statement that the punctuation might easily be altered so as to read <span class="hebrew">שָׁבֻעות</span>. Upon the whole, while not free from difficulty, the view of Kliefoth seems best supported by argument. <span class="p"><br /><br /></span><span class="versiontext"><a href="/commentaries/ezekiel/45-21.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a></span><span class="p"><br /><br /><br /></span><a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Hebrew</div><span class="word">On the fourteenth</span><br /><span class="heb">בְּאַרְבָּעָ֨ה</span> <span class="translit">(bə·’ar·bā·‘āh)</span><br /><span class="parse">Preposition-b | Number - masculine singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_702.htm">Strong's 702: </a> </span><span class="str2">Four</span><br /><br /><span class="word">day</span><br /><span class="heb">יוֹם֙</span> <span class="translit">(yō·wm)</span><br /><span class="parse">Noun - masculine singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_3117.htm">Strong's 3117: </a> </span><span class="str2">A day</span><br /><br /><span class="word">of the first month</span><br /><span class="heb">בָּ֠רִאשׁוֹן</span> <span class="translit">(bā·ri·šō·wn)</span><br /><span class="parse">Preposition-b, Article | Adjective - masculine singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_7223.htm">Strong's 7223: </a> </span><span class="str2">First, in place, time, rank</span><br /><br /><span class="word">you are to observe</span><br /><span class="heb">יִהְיֶ֥ה</span> <span class="translit">(yih·yeh)</span><br /><span class="parse">Verb - Qal - Imperfect - third person masculine singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_1961.htm">Strong's 1961: </a> </span><span class="str2">To fall out, come to pass, become, be</span><br /><br /><span class="word">the Passover,</span><br /><span class="heb">הַפָּ֑סַח</span> <span class="translit">(hap·pā·saḥ)</span><br /><span class="parse">Article | Noun - masculine singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_6453.htm">Strong's 6453: </a> </span><span class="str2">A pretermission, exemption, Passover</span><br /><br /><span class="word">a feast</span><br /><span class="heb">חָ֕ג</span> <span class="translit">(ḥāḡ)</span><br /><span class="parse">Noun - masculine singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_2282.htm">Strong's 2282: </a> </span><span class="str2">A festival gathering, feast, pilgrim feast</span><br /><br /><span class="word">of seven</span><br /><span class="heb">שְׁבֻע֣וֹת</span> <span class="translit">(šə·ḇu·‘ō·wṯ)</span><br /><span class="parse">Noun - masculine plural construct<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_7620.htm">Strong's 7620: </a> </span><span class="str2">A period of seven (days, years), heptad, week</span><br /><br /><span class="word">days,</span><br /><span class="heb">יָמִ֔ים</span> <span class="translit">(yā·mîm)</span><br /><span class="parse">Noun - masculine plural<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_3117.htm">Strong's 3117: </a> </span><span class="str2">A day</span><br /><br /><span class="word">during which unleavened bread</span><br /><span class="heb">מַצּ֖וֹת</span> <span class="translit">(maṣ·ṣō·wṯ)</span><br /><span class="parse">Noun - feminine plural<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_4682.htm">Strong's 4682: </a> </span><span class="str2">Sweetness, sweet, an unfermented cake, loaf, the festival of Passover</span><br /><br /><span class="word">shall be eaten.</span><br /><span class="heb">יֵאָכֵֽל׃</span> <span class="translit">(yê·’ā·ḵêl)</span><br /><span class="parse">Verb - Nifal - Imperfect - third person masculine singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_398.htm">Strong's 398: </a> </span><span class="str2">To eat</span><br /><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><div class="vheading">Links</div><a href="/niv/ezekiel/45-21.htm">Ezekiel 45:21 NIV</a><br /><a href="/nlt/ezekiel/45-21.htm">Ezekiel 45:21 NLT</a><br /><a href="/esv/ezekiel/45-21.htm">Ezekiel 45:21 ESV</a><br /><a href="/nasb/ezekiel/45-21.htm">Ezekiel 45:21 NASB</a><br /><a href="/kjv/ezekiel/45-21.htm">Ezekiel 45:21 KJV</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="//bibleapps.com/ezekiel/45-21.htm">Ezekiel 45:21 BibleApps.com</a><br /><a href="//bibliaparalela.com/ezekiel/45-21.htm">Ezekiel 45:21 Biblia Paralela</a><br /><a href="//holybible.com.cn/ezekiel/45-21.htm">Ezekiel 45:21 Chinese Bible</a><br /><a href="//saintebible.com/ezekiel/45-21.htm">Ezekiel 45:21 French Bible</a><br /><a href="/catholic/ezekiel/45-21.htm">Ezekiel 45:21 Catholic Bible</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/ezekiel/45-21.htm">OT Prophets: Ezekiel 45:21 In the first month in the fourteenth (Ezek.
