MEDITATION
Exodus 12:15-20
15 Seven days you shall eat unleavened bread. On the first day you shall remove leaven from your houses. For whoever eats leavened bread from the first day until the seventh day, that person shall be cut off from Israel.
16 On the first day there shall be a holy convocation, and on the seventh day there shall be a holy convocation for you. No manner of work shall be done on them; but that which everyone must eat—that only may be prepared by you.
17 So you shall observe the Feast of Unleavened Bread, for on this same day I will have brought your armies out of the land of Egypt. Therefore you shall observe this day throughout your generations as an everlasting ordinance.
18 In the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month at evening, you shall eat unleavened bread, until the twenty-first day of the month at evening.
19 For seven days no leaven shall be found in your houses, since whoever eats what is leavened, that same person shall be cut off from the congregation of Israel, whether he is a stranger or a native of the land.
20 You shall eat nothing leavened; in all your dwellings you shall eat unleavened bread.’”

沉思
《出埃及记 12：15-20》
15“你们要吃无酵饼七日。头一日要把酵从你们各家中除去，因为从头一日起，到第七日为止，凡吃有酵之饼的，必从以色列中剪除。
16头一日你们当有圣会，第七日也当有圣会。这两日之内，除了预备各人所要吃的以外，无论何工都不可做。
17你们要守无酵节，因为我正当这日把你们的军队从埃及地领出来。所以你们要守这日，作为世世代代永远的定例。
18从正月十四日晚上，直到二十一日晚上，你们要吃无酵饼。
19在你们各家中，七日之内不可有酵，因为凡吃有酵之物的，无论是寄居的是本地的，必从以色列的会中剪除。20有酵的物，你们都不可吃，在你们一切住处要吃无酵饼。”
