Context of Exodus 13:6
4Today you are leaving Egypt. It is the first month of the year, called Abib. 5The Lord will bring you to the land of the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Amorites, the Hivites and the Jebusites. God promised your ancestors that he would give that land to you. The land will give you plenty of good food and drink, enough for everyone. When the Lord brings you into that place, you must eat the Passover meal to worship God in this month every year. For seven days you must eat bread without yeast in it. Then on the seventh day you must have a festival for the Lord. 7Eat bread without yeast during those seven days. There must not be any yeast left among you, in the whole of your land. 8On that day, you must tell your children the reason for this festival. Tell them, “We do this because of what the Lord did for us. He brought us out of Egypt.”
