Historically, this date is rooted in the Exodus narrative, where the Israelites were instructed to prepare for their departure from Egypt.<p><b>is the LORD’s Passover</b><br>The Passover is a foundational event in Israelite history, commemorating God's deliverance of the Israelites from slavery in Egypt. It is called "the LORD’s Passover" to emphasize that it is an ordinance established by God Himself. The Passover involves the sacrifice of a lamb, which is a type of Christ, the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world (<a href="/john/1-29.htm">John 1:29</a>). The blood of the lamb, which protected the Israelites from the angel of death, prefigures the atoning sacrifice of Jesus, whose blood delivers believers from eternal death. The Passover is a perpetual reminder of God's faithfulness and the necessity of redemption through sacrifice.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_lord.htm">The LORD (Yahweh)</a></b><br>The covenant-keeping God of Israel who commands the observance of the Passover.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/p/passover.htm">Passover</a></b><br>A significant Jewish festival commemorating the Israelites' deliverance from slavery in Egypt, marking the beginning of their journey to the Promised Land.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_fourteenth_day_of_the_first_month.htm">The Fourteenth Day of the First Month</a></b><br>Refers to the month of Nisan (or Abib), which is the first month of the Jewish religious calendar.<br><br>4. <b><a href="/topical/i/israelites.htm">Israelites</a></b><br>The chosen people of God who are commanded to observe the Passover as a perpetual ordinance.<br><br>5. <b><a href="/topical/e/egypt.htm">Egypt</a></b><br>The place of bondage from which the Israelites were delivered, symbolizing sin and oppression.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><b><a href="/topical/t/the_significance_of_remembrance.htm">The Significance of Remembrance</a></b><br>The Passover serves as a powerful reminder of God's deliverance and faithfulness.

The law is now promulgated afresh. The observance of the first and seventh days of the feast are enjoined in <a href="/exodus/12-16.htm" title="And in the first day there shall be an holy convocation, and in the seventh day there shall be an holy convocation to you; no manner of work shall be done in them, save that which every man must eat, that only may be done of you.">Exodus 12:16</a> and <a href="/context/leviticus/23-7.htm" title="In the first day you shall have an holy convocation: you shall do no servile work therein.">Leviticus 23:7-8</a>; and in the latter place it is enjoined that an offering made by fire should be offered for seven days. The nature of that offering is stated in the 19th verse of this chapter, and the fact that the details are not found in Leviticus 23 may be adduced in proof of the prospective character of much of the Levitical legislation.<p><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><span class="versiontext"><a href="/commentaries/numbers/28-16.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">The fourteenth</span><br /><span class="heb">בְּאַרְבָּעָ֥ה</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">י֖וֹם</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</span><br /><span class="heb">הָרִאשׁ֗וֹן</span> <span class="translit">(hā·ri·šō·wn)</span><br /><span class="parse">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">month</span><br /><span class="heb">וּבַחֹ֣דֶשׁ</span> <span class="translit">(ū·ḇa·ḥō·ḏeš)</span><br /><span class="parse">Conjunctive waw, Preposition-b, Article | Noun - masculine singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_2320.htm">Strong's 2320: </a> </span><span class="str2">The new moon, a month</span><br /><br /><span class="word">is the LORD’s</span><br /><span class="heb">לַיהוָֽה׃</span> <span class="translit">(Yah·weh)</span><br /><span class="parse">Preposition-l | Noun - proper - masculine singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_3068.htm">Strong's 3068: </a> </span><span class="str2">LORD -- the proper name of the God of Israel</span><br /><br /><span class="word">Passover.</span><br /><span class="heb">פֶּ֖סַח</span> <span class="translit">(pe·saḥ)</span><br /><span class="parse">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 /><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><div class="vheading">Links</div><a href="/niv/numbers/28-16.htm">Numbers 28:16 NIV</a><br /><a href="/nlt/numbers/28-16.htm">Numbers 28:16 NLT</a><br /><a href="/esv/numbers/28-16.htm">Numbers 28:16 ESV</a><br /><a href="/nasb/numbers/28-16.htm">Numbers 28:16 NASB</a><br /><a href="/kjv/numbers/28-16.htm">Numbers 28:16 KJV</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="//bibleapps.com/numbers/28-16.htm">Numbers 28:16 BibleApps.com</a><br /><a href="//bibliaparalela.com/numbers/28-16.htm">Numbers 28:16 Biblia Paralela</a><br /><a href="//holybible.com.cn/numbers/28-16.htm">Numbers 28:16 Chinese Bible</a><br /><a href="//saintebible.com/numbers/28-16.htm">Numbers 28:16 French Bible</a><br /><a href="/catholic/numbers/28-16.htm">Numbers 28:16 Catholic Bible</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/numbers/28-16.htm">OT Law: Numbers 28:16 In the first month on the fourteenth (Nu Num.) </a></div></div></td></tr></table></div><div id="left"><a href="/numbers/28-15.htm" onmouseover='lft.src="/leftgif.png"' onmouseout='lft.src="/left.png"' title="Numbers 28:15"><img src="/left.png" name="lft" border="0" alt="Numbers 28:15" /></a></div><div id="right"><a href="/numbers/28-17.htm" onmouseover='rght.src="/rightgif.png"' onmouseout='rght.src="/right.png"' title="Numbers 28:17"><img src="/right.png" name="rght" border="0" alt="Numbers 28:17" /></a></div><div id="botleft"><a href="#" onmouseover='botleft.src="/botleftgif.png"' onmouseout='botleft.src="/botleft.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botleft.png" name="botleft" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="botright"><a href="#" onmouseover='botright.src="/botrightgif.png"' onmouseout='botright.src="/botright.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botright.png" name="botright" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="bot"><iframe width="100%" height="1500" scrolling="no" src="/botmenubhnew2.htm" frameborder="0"></iframe></div></td></tr></table></div></body></html>
