What is Passover ?
Passover is the central Salvation story for Jewish people, celebreated as week-long festival and it begins with a meal. At that meal, called Passover, a lamb is slaughtered, prepared, cooked and shared together in a feast amongst family and friends.
In the Old Testament, Passover served as the catalyst for the Mosaic (Old, named after Moses) Covenant, while in the New Testament, Jesus redefined the Passover meal to inaugurate the New Covenant.
-------------------------
Old Covenant
In the Bible, the timing of Passover is established through specific instructions given in the books of Exodus, Leviticus, and Numbers.
Passover is the foundational, redemptive covenant seal (sign) between God and Israel, established during the Exodus to mark his protection via the lamb's blood.
Exodus 12:6 NIV 6 Take care of them until the fourteenth day of the month, when all the members of the community of Israel must slaughter them at twilight.
Leviticus 23:5 "The Lord’s Passover begins at twilight on the fourteenth day of the first month".
Numbers 9:3 Observe it at its appointed time, on the 14th day at twilight.
The lambs were to be slaughtered at twilight (literally "between the two evenings" in Hebrew).
