You shall observe the feast of unleavened bread. Seven days you shall eat unleavened bread, as I commanded you, at the time appointed in the month Abib (for in it you came out of Egypt), and no one shall appear before me empty.

Contradictions (1)

Questions where the Bible appears to say two different things, with the passages on each side set together.

  • How many days is unleavened bread to be eaten during the Passover?

    Exodus 12:15, 13:6-7, 23:15, Leviticus 23:6, and Deuteronomy 16:3 all require seven days of unleavened bread. But Deuteronomy 16:8, three verses after Deut 16:3 says seven, specifies six days of unleavened bread followed by a solemn assembly on the seventh.
