📚 Historical Context
In the book of Leviticus, God gave Moses a series of instructions for the Israelites' religious calendar, including the feasts that marked key events in their history. The Passover specifically commemorated God's deliverance of the Israelites from slavery in Egypt, when He passed over their homes during the tenth plague that struck the Egyptian firstborn. This observance was commanded to take place annually on the fourteenth day of the first month at twilight, serving as a perpetual reminder of God's protective power and faithfulness.
