Passover, also called Pesach, is the Jewish festival celebrating the exodus of the Israelites from Egyptian slavery in 1200s BC. The story is chronicled in the Old Testament book of Exodus.

Date and duration. The Passover begins on the 15th day of the month of Nisan, which typically falls in March or April of the Gregorian calendar. The 15th day begins in the evening, after the 14th day, and the seder meal is eaten that evening.

When was the Passover in Exodus?

When is Passover? Passover takes place in early spring during the Hebrew calendar month of Nissan, as prescribed in the book of Exodus. Exodus 12:18 commands that Passover be celebrated, “from the fourteenth day of the month at evening, you shall eat unleavened bread until the twenty-first day of the month at evening.”

Where is the second Passover mentioned in the Bible?

The Bible’s only recorded observance of Second Passover occurs in 2 Chronicles 29 and 30, so this will establish the pattern we should expect to see one day prophetically fulfilled with respect to this holy day.

When did the Jewish people begin to celebrate Passover?

During the forty years we traveled through the desert, although the holiday was presumably observed, the only time we brought the Paschal Offering was on the Exodus’ first anniversary. The next time the Jewish people brought this offering was 39 years later, when they entered Israel. “Why?” you ask.

When did we offer a lamb as a Passover offering?

G‑d commanded us to offer a lamb as a Passover offering on the first anniversary and did not ask of us to do this again until 39 years later. And since we weren’t commanded to do so, it would have been forbidden to offer an offering in the Tabernacle that was not requested by G‑d. Then why the embarrassment?

When did the Egyptians die at the Passover?

All the firstborn of Egypt are killed at the stroke of midnight of the 15th of the month of Nissan. With the final plague, God promised to strike dead every first-born son in Egypt at midnight on the 15th day of the month of Nissan. However, to Moses, the Lord provided instructions so his people would be spared.
