Context of Leviticus 23:4
2‘Tell Israel's people about the special days when they must worship the Lord. They are holy days. The Israelites must come together and have a feast on these days. 3There are six days when a person can work. The seventh day is the Sabbath day. A person must not do any work on that day. It is a day when people meet together for worship. You must not work in any place where you live. It is the Sabbath to the Lord, a day of rest. There are other special days. They are holy feasts. On these days you must tell the people how to obey the Lord's rules. 5One special day is the 14th day of the first month. When the sun goes down, the Passover to the Lord begins. 6The 15th day of the first month, the Feast of Flat Bread begins. It is a feast to the Lord. For seven days the people must eat bread that has no yeast in it.
