Exodus 12:15–204 matched frames1 pivot

Read down to the center, where the pattern turns; then rise back out through its mirror.

A 15a Seven days shall ye eat unleavened bread;
- B 15b even the first day ye shall put away leaven out of your houses: for whosoever eateth leavened bread from the first day until the seventh day, that soul shall be cut off from Israel.
  - C 16 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.
    - D 17a And ye shall observe the feast of unleavened bread;
      - E 17b for in this selfsame day have I brought your armies out of the land of Egypt:
    - D' 17c therefore shall ye observe this day in your generations by an ordinance for ever.
  - C' 18 In the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month at even, ye shall eat unleavened bread, until the one and twentieth day of the month at even.
- B' 19-20a Seven days shall there be no leaven found in your houses: for whosoever eateth that which is leavened, even that soul shall be cut off from the congregation of Israel, whether he be a stranger, or born in the land. Ye shall eat nothing leavened;
A' 20b in all your habitations shall ye eat unleavened bread.
