THE LESSONS
Lesson 1: Exodus 12:1--14 (C)
The Passover feast is inaugurated. In preparation for leaving Egypt, Yahweh instituted the Passover. Each family was to roast a sheep or goat and eat unleavened bread. The blood of the animal was to be placed on the doorposts to keep the angel of death from entering their homes. This is to be an annual feast to remind the people of God's deliverance.
Lesson 1: Ezekiel 33:7--9 (RC); Ezekiel 33:(1--6) 7--11 (E)
He who warns the wicked shall live.
