Preface

1. Passover commemorates the deliverance of the Children of Israel from four hundred thirty

years of bondage in Egypt. The Passover is one of the seasons of YAHWEH1 as set forth in

the 23rd

chapter of Leviticus. As YAHWEH commanded, we observe Passover during the month

Abib, the first month of the year

2

. The term Passover, as used in the Hebrew Scriptures, refersto:

a. The 14th

day of the first month3, the date on which the lambs were sacrificed;

b. The lamb that was sacrificed4 whose blood was smeared on the door posts of the

houses of the Children of Israel and those Egyptians who feared YAHWEH; and

c. The event5in which YAHWEH passed over (spared) the houses of the Children of

Israel when he smote the first born of Egypt;

Over the course of time, the term Passover has come to also include the Feast of UnleavenedBread, the 15th

through the 21st

days of the first month, as unleavened bread is an integral part ofthe Exodus from Egypt.

2. The account of the Exodus from Egypt is rehearsed by those known as Hebrews, Israelitesand Jews6 throughout the world. Traditionally, the account of Passover is told during a service

called the Seder7 using a Haggadah8, the book that serves as the guide, script, and liturgy of the

Passover Seder. Regrettably, the Rabbinical Jewish Seder includes elements that are in conflict

with or inconsistent with the Hebrew Scriptures and YAHWEHs instructions concerningPassover and the Feast of Unleavened Bread. Most noticeably, the Seder plate includes a roasted

egg, which has no basis in the Hebrew Scriptures or Good News9

and is suspiciously reminiscent

of an Easter egg. Traditions are not necessarily in conflict with the word or will of God. Sometraditions, while not commandments of God, have value and are beneficial. This Messianic

Hebraic Haggadah is a genuine effort to rehearse the account of the Passover free of those

traditions of men, which are in conflict with or inconsistent with YAHWEHs instructionsconcerning His appointed season. Furthermore, this Haggadah points out the Messianic

revelations imbedded in the accounts and rites of the Passover and how those prophecies are

fulfilled by Yahushua Ha Mashiach10

.

1YAHWEH (literally He Who Exists) is the Supreme Authoritys, i.e. Gods name forever - Exodus 3:14,

2In Exodus 12:2, YAHWEH established Abib as the first month of the year vs. the seventh month called Tishri on

the Rabbinical Calendar. Abib is the only month named in the first five books of the Hebrew Scriptures. All other

months are numbered. Abib corresponds to March/April on the Gregorian calendar.3

6Differences in terminology reflect ethnic, cultural, and theological differences

7Seder comes from a Hebrew root meaning order

8Haggadah comes from a Hebrew root meaning to tell or to declare

9Isaiah 52:7 (a.k.a. the New Testament, Renewed Covenant or Brit Ha Khadashah in Hebrew)

10Yahushua means YAHWEH Saves or YAHWEH is Salvation. Yahushua vs. Yeshua or Jesus is the name given

by Yosef and Miriam to her firstborn son in strict compliance with the instructions given them by the messenger

Gabriel. Ha Mashiach means The Anointed Christos in Greek

epzexgl lecb xteya rwzSound the Great Horn for Our Freedom

1. The Seder leader (or one he/she so designates) sounds the shofar to call the assembly

together (Numbers 10:1 - 10, Psalm 81:3 - 4).

Make thee two trumpets of silver; of beaten work shall you make them; and they shall be to you for the calling

of the congregation, and for causing the camps to set forward. And when they shall blow with them, the entire

congregation shall gather themselves unto you at the door of the tent of meeting. And if they blow with only

one, then the princes, the heads of the thousands of Israel, shall gather themselves unto thee. And when youblow an alarm, the camps that lie on the east side shall take their journey. And when you blow an alarm the

second time, the camps that lie on the south side shall set forward; they shall blow an alarm for their journeys.

But when the assembly is to be gathered together, you shall blow, but ye shall not sound an alarm. And the

sons of Aaron, the priests, shall blow with the trumpets; and they shall be to you for a statute for ever

throughout your generations. And when ye go to war in your land against the adversary that oppresses you,

then ye shall sound an alarm with the trumpets; and ye shall be remembered before the LORD your God and

you shall be saved from your enemies. Also in the day of your gladness, and in your appointed seasons, and

in your new moons, ye shall blow with the trumpets over your burnt offerings, and over the sacrifices of your

peace-offerings; and they shall be to you for a memorial before your God: I am the LORD your God.

z`Gd dcard dn4. When Your Children Shall Ask: A child is selected to ask one of the following questions

regarding the Passover or all of the children ask each question at the same time. Each question is then

answered by the adults:

Child/Children: What is this service to you? Exodus 12:26

Adult: It is the sacrifice of the Passover of YAHWEH who passed over the houses of the

children of Israel in Egypt, when He smote Egypt, but our houses He delivered. Exodus

12:27

It is because of what YAHWEH did for me when I came forth out of Egypt Exodus 13:8

Child/Children: What is this? Exodus 13:14

Adult: By strength of hand YAHWEH brought us forth out from Egypt from the house ofbondage. And it came to pass, when Pharaoh would hardly let us go, that YAHWEH slew all

the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both the firstborn of man, and the firstborn of beast;

Exodus 13:14 15

Child/Children: What do the testimonies, and the statutes, and the judgments mean,

which YAHWEH our God has commanded you? Deuteronomy 6:20

Adult: We were Pharaoh's bondmen in Egypt; and YAHWEH brought us out of Egypt with

a mighty hand. And YAHWEH showed signs and wonders, great and sore, upon Egypt, upon

Pharaoh, and upon his entire house, before our eyes. And He brought us out from there that

He might bring us in, to give us the land which He swore unto our fathers. And YAHWEHcommanded us to do all these statutes, to fear YAHWEH our God, for our good always, that

He might preserve us alive, as it is at this day. And it shall be righteousness unto us, if we

observe to do this entire commandment before YAHWEH our God, as He hath commanded

us.

5. YAHWEHs Covenant with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob

Seder Leader: The account of the deliverance of the Children of Israel from Egyptbegins with the blood covenant that God swore unto Abraham by his name YAHWEH

and confirmed with Isaac and Jacob.

The following passages are read by volunteers or selected members of the assembly.

a. Genesis 15:1 15b. Genesis 22:1 24

c. Genesis 26:1 5

d. Genesis 28:10 22

6. The rehearsal of the Exodus from Egypt

The children of Israel were fertile and prolific, multiplied, and increased very greatly, so that the

land was filled with them. Now a new king arose over Egypt who did not know Joseph. He said

to his people, "The Children of Israel are much too numerous for us. Let us deal wisely withthem otherwise they will further increase so that when our enemies attack us in war they may

join them and get out of the land."

fire, but miraculously the bush was not consumed. Moses seeing this approached the bush to get

a better look. Suddenly the voice of God called to him out of the burning bush, "Moses, Moses,do not come any closer! Remove your sandals from your feet. The ground you are standing on is

holy ground. I am the God of your fathers Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. Moreover YAHWEH said

to him, "I have seen the hardships of my people in Egypt and have come down to save them from

the Egyptians; and to bring them to the land of Canaan, a land flowing with milk and honey.Come now, I will send you to Pharaoh so that you will free my people.

Upon hearing this Moses was greatly dismayed. Moses replied "When I come to the Children of

Israel and say to them, the God of your fathers has sent me to you to deliver you and they say,

what is his name, what should I tell them? YAHWEH said, "Tell themEhyeh Ahsher Ehyeh (I

Shall Be What I Shall Be). Thus shall you say to the Children of Israel,Ehyeh (I Shall Be) has

sent me to you.And God said furthermore to Moses, Thus shall you say to the Children of

Israel, YAHWEH12 The Supreme Authority of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, has sent me to you.

This is my name forever.

Go, and gather the elders of Israel together, and say unto them,YAHWEH, the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Jacob, hath appeared

unto me, saying, I have surely remembered you, and seen that which is done to you in Egypt.And I have said I will bring you up out of the affliction of Egypt unto the land of the Canaanite,and the Hittite, and the Amorite, and the Perizzite, and the Hivite, and the Jebusite, unto a land

flowing with milk and honey.

Moses expressed his fear of returning to Egypt because Pharaoh had sought his life after he

killed the Egyptian. YAHWEH told Moses that he need not fear because that Pharaoh had died.

YAHWEH assured Moses that He would be with him when he returned to Egypt, after Moses

expressed doubts about speaking to the king of Egypt. YAHWEH showed Moses two miracles--He made Moses' staff turn into a snake; and changed the color of his hand. Moses believed God.

He returned to his father in-law and asked for leave to return to Egypt to see how his countrymen

were doing. Moses and his wife and their son set out for Egypt. At the site they chose to rest forthe night God revealed to Moses that the child should be circumcised. This custom was appalling

to Zipporah but nevertheless she took a flint stone and circumcised him herself. On the way back

Moses met his brother Aaron concerning whom God had told him would be his spokesperson.

As soon as Moses and Aaron returned to Egypt they went before Pharaoh and declared this

proclamation, "Thus says the God of Israel--Let my people go!" Pharaoh answered and said,

"Who is this God. I do not know him, and I will not let the people go. Moreover I will make thepeople work even harder because they are idle saying let us go into the wilderness to worship our

God." So Pharaoh commanded that there be no more straw given to the people to make bricks

and that they must provide their own straw. However, the tally of the bricks previously providedmust not decrease. The children of Israel scattered throughout the land of Egypt to gather straw.

The taskmasters hastened the people with whips and verbal reprimand saying, "Fulfill your

12God givestwo answers regarding His name in response to Moses question. Both answers are derived from the

Hebrew verb to exist not to be confused with the English verb to be. The first answer,I shall Be What I Shall

Be (not I Am That I Am), is someone cryptic. It incorporates the future tense of the verb to exist and is therefore

prophetic. What God Shall Be is firstly Israels Salvation, which Israel proclaims in song following the Red Sea

crossing, and subsequently mankinds Salvation.I Shall Be What I Shall Be is never used again in the Hebrew

Scriptures. The second answer, YAHWEH, incorporates thepresent tense of the verb to exist affirming that His

continual existence. YAHWEHwas the name known to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob and is Gods name forever.

quotas!" The people cried to Pharaoh concerning the lack of straw. But Pharaoh answered them

saying, You are idle. You are idle therefore you ask to go into the desert to worship.

As soon as the people came out from before Pharaoh they confronted Moses and Aaron saying,YAHWEH look upon you and what you have done. You have made us loathsome to Pharaohand his servants. You put a sword in his hand to destroy us!" Moses returned to YAHWEH in

dismay and cried out. "Adonai,13

why did you bring harm to this people? Because I came to

Pharaoh and spoke in your name he has done worse to this people than before I came."YAHWEH answered Moses and said, "You shall soon see what I will do to Pharaoh. He will let

them go because of the might with which I will deal with him. He will drive them out. I will

redeem you with an outstretched arm and great chastisements. I will take you to be my people,

and I will be your God, and you will know that I am YAHWEH who has freed you from theEgyptians. I will bring you into the land that I swore to your fathers Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. I

will give it to you for a possession (forever)." So Moses and Aaron returned to Egypt to confront

Pharaoh in the name of God.

AGAINST ALL THE GODS OF EGYPT14

Now the Lord told Moses and Aaron, when Pharaoh commands you saying show a miracle, have

Aaron cast down his rod before Pharaoh and it will become a snake. So Moses and Aaron came

before Pharaoh and did so and the rod became a snake. The magicians of Egypt cast down theirrods also and they became serpents also, but Aaron's rod swallowed up their rods. Yet the heart

of Pharaoh was hardened so he would not heed their petition. The Lord said to Moses, "Pharaoh

is hard hearted. He refuses to let the people go. Therefore, go in the morning to meet him. He

will be coming out to the edge of the Nile. Take the rod that turned into a snake and confront

him. Say to him, YAHWEH God of the Hebrews has sent me to tell you, let my people go thatthey may worship me in the wilderness."

13Here Moses addresses God as Adonai literally My Lordsthe qualitative pluralof Adoni i.e. My Lord

14Exodus 12:12 and Numbers 33:4 - Each individual plague seems to be targeted to a specific deity in the Egyptian

pantheon with the tenth plague being the cumulative death blow to the entire pantheon at once

YAHWEH said to Moses, Tell Aaron to take the rod and hold it over the river that all the waters

of Egypt may turn to blood; the rivers, the canals, its ponds and all bodies of water." He lifted uphis rod and smote the water and there was blood throughout all the land of Egypt, so that the land

stank, neither could the Egyptians drink the water because of the blood. But Pharaoh turned and

went to his palace and paid no heed to this second sign. When seven days had passed since the

Lord had Aaron smite the waters; the Lord said to Moses, "Go to Pharaoh and say to him, thussays the Lord: Let my people go that they may worship Me! If you refuse to let them go, I will

plague your land with frogs. The Nile will swarm with frogs. They shall come up and enter yourpalace, your bedchambers and your houses and upon you and your servants. The Lord said "Tell

Aaron to hold out his arm with the rod over the rivers, so that the canals and ponds may bring up

the frogs on the land of Egypt. Aaron did so and the frogs came up and covered the whole landof Egypt. The magicians of Egypt, with their spells, brought frogs upon the land also.

Pharaoh summoned Moses and Aaron and said, "Plead with YAHWEH to remove the frogs from

me and my people and I will let the people go to sacrifice to YAHWEH." Moses said to Pharaoh,"When shall I plead on your behalf that the frogs be cut off from your homes, that they may be

found only in the river? "Tomorrow," he replied. So Moses and Aaron went out from beforePharaoh and prayed to YAHWEH and the frogs died out from the houses, the courtyards andfields. They piled them up in heaps. The land stank because of them. When Pharaoh saw that the

frogs were gone he hardened his heart and would not let the people go. (His heart was hardened

by the will of God that God might multiply his wonders against Egypt.)

And YAHWEH said to Moses, "Tell Aaron to hold out the rod and strike the dust of the earth

and it shall turn to lice throughout the land of Egypt." Aaron held out his arm with the rod and

struck the dust of me earth, and the vermin came up upon man and beast. The magicians ofEgypt tried to duplicate this marvel but could not. Moreover they declared to Pharaoh, "This is

the finger of God!" But Pharaoh's heart stiffened and would not heed them as God had spoken.

And YAHWEH said to Moses, "Get up early in the morning to meet Pharaoh as he comes out to

the water, and say to him, Thus says YAHWEH, Let My people go that they may worship Me.

If not I will let loose swarms of insects upon you and your servants. They will be in your homesand on the ground that you stand upon, but they shall not be in the land of Goshen where my

people dwell." And YAHWEH did so. Swarms of insects came up upon the land; in Pharaoh's

palace and the houses of his servants. Egypt was ruined because of the swarms of insects. Again

Pharaoh summoned Moses and Aaron and said plead with God that the insects be taken awayfrom me and my people and then go sacrifice in the land! But Moses said cattle are an

abomination to the Egyptians. "If we do this in the presence of the Egyptians they will stone us.

We must go at least three days in to the wilderness to sacrifice to our God. Pharaoh replied,Very well go but do not go very far. Intercede for me. "Moses said, I will plead for you, but let

not Pharaoh deal deceitfully any longer in not letting the people go." So Moses left the presence

of Pharaoh and prayed to God. God removed the insects from Pharaoh and from his servants. Notone remained. Nevertheless, Pharaoh stiffened his heart again.

THE PLAGUE OF PESTILENCE

The hand of YAHWEH struck the livestock, the horses, the asses and the sheep in the field.

THE PLAGUE OF INFLAMMATIONThen YAHWEH said to Moses and Aaron, "Each of you take handfuls of soot from the oven and

throw it toward the sky. It will become fine dust all over the land of Egypt. Yet again Pharaoh

hardened his. Heart and would not let the people go.

THE PLAGUE OF HAIL

YAHWEH gave command and hail fell upon Egypt such as never happened before or after.

YAHWEH warned Pharaoh and his servants, cattle left out in the open field would be destroyed.Those who feared God gathered their livestock under cover. Those who didnt left them out in

the open field and they died. Pharaoh remained stubborn.

THE PLAGUE OF LOCUSTSYAHWEH commanded and locusts came up on the land of Egypt very grievously. There was

never such like it before or after. They ate every green thing--grass and trees. Pharaoh hurriedlySummoned Moses and Aaron and said, "Plead for me to your God that He take away this plague

also. Moses did so but he still refused to let the people go.

THE PLAGUE OF DARKNESSYAHWEH said to Moses, "Hold out your arm toward heaven that there be darkness throughout

all the land of Egypt, darkness that can be felt. But, there will be light in the dwelling place of

Israel. And there was darkness for three days throughout all the land of Egypt. Yet Pharaohremained obstinate.

THE SLAYING OF THE FIRST BORNYAHWEH said to Moses, "I will bring one more plague upon Pharaoh and upon Egypt, after that

he will let you go, he will drive you out with haste. Moses called all the elders of Israel

together and said to them, "Go pick out lambs for your families, and slaughter the Passover

offering. Take a bunch of hyssop, dip it in the blood that is in the basin, and apply some of it tothe lintel and the two doorposts of your houses. This way the destroying angel will see it and

pass over you.

dliNd ivgA idieAnd it Came to Pass at Midnight

YAHWEH struck down all the first-born throughout all the land of Egypt, from the first-born ofPharaoh to the first-born of the captives in the dungeon, and all the first-born of cattle. A great

cry went up in all the land of Egypt. There was not a house that there was not at least one dead.

So Pharaoh arose that night, he and his servants, and began to thrust the Children of Israel out ofhis land. At that time the Children of Israel plundered the Egyptians by asking them for gifts of

gold and silver and articles of clothing.

So the children of Israel went out of Egypt with a high hand and gladness of heart. Since the

Children of Israel were thrust out of Egypt they had no time to leaven their bread, therefore

eating bread without leaven is part of the ordinances of the Passover season. The eating of bitterherbs is done to typify the bitterness of servitude in Egypt. A lamb of the first year is selected;

the use of a goat is also lawful. The animal must be perfect without blemish. Between theEvenings

15of the fourteenth day of the first month it is slaughtered and roasted whole and eaten

after nightfall, (which is the fifteenth day of the month) and that night only. If any of the

Passover Lamb remains until morning it cannot be eaten. It must be burnt with fire. It is the duty

of all Children of Israel to observe this Appointed Season.

The Passover Meal

The lamb, unleavened bread and bitter herbs, the three foods prescribed to commemorate the

Passover, are now served. A blessing is recited for each of the three prescribed foods. After

each blessing is recited, a small amount of each item is eaten. After the prescribed foods areeaten, other traditional foods with symbolic meaning pertaining to the Passover such as

kharoseth16, karpas17 may be served.

15The Hebrew expressionmiaxrd oia(Bein Hah Arbayeem) is accurately translated Between the Evenings

vs. twilight, dusk, eve, or evening. This expressionrefers exclusively to the timing of a sacrifice i.e. the Evening

Sacrifice and the time specified for the slaughter of the Passover lamb. It is approximately halfway between noon

and evening, roughly corresponding to the ninth hour when Yahushua expired on the execution stake.16

A mixture of fruit, grape juice and nuts used to symbolize mortar used by the Hebrew slaves in Egypt17

A vegetable other than bitter herbs, such as parsley or celery dipped in salt water (which represents tears)

After Pharaoh released the Children of Israel, God didnt lead them by the way of the land of the

Philistines18

, although that was near. For God said, If the Children of Israel are confronted bywar with the Philistines, they may be discouraged and want to return to Egypt. So God led them

in the opposite direction, by the way of the wilderness by Yam Suf19

. And the children of Israel

went up armed out of the land of Egypt. And Moses took the bones of Joseph with him because

Josef bound the Children of Israel by an oath, saying, God will surely remember you and youshall carry up my bones away from here with you. And YAHWEHwent before them by day in

a pillar of cloud and by night as a pillar of fire so they could travel both by day and by night.

And YAHWEHadvised Moses that he would harden Pharaohs heart once more. When Pharaoh

realized the Children of Israel had departed, he said to his people, What have we done in lettingthe Children of Israel go from being our slaves? Pharaoh prepared his army and all of his

chariots including six hundred of his elite chariots and pursued after the Children of Israel

because they had put the Egyptians to shame. Pharaoh and his army overtook the Children of

Israel encamped by Yam Suf. When the Children of Israel saw Pharaohs approaching army theywere terrified and cried out to YAHWEH. And they said to Moses, Is it because there were no

graves in Egypt that you led us into the wilderness to die? Didnt we tell you while we were stillin Egypt to leave us alone to serve the Egyptians, since it would have been better for us to servethe Egyptians than to die in the wilderness? And Moses said to the people, Do not be afraid.

Stand still and see the Salvation of YAHWEHwhich He will work for you today. While you

have seen the Egyptians today, you will see them no more forever.20

And the LORD said unto Moses, Lift up your rod and stretch out your hand over the sea, and

divide it; and the children of Israel shall go into the middle of the sea on dry ground. And I will

harden the hearts of the Egyptians, and they shall go in after them; and I will get Me honor uponPharaoh, and his entire army, upon his chariots, and upon his horsemen. And the Egyptians shall

know that I am YAHWEH, when I have gotten Me honor on Pharaoh, on his chariots, and on his

horsemen. And the messenger of God, who went before the camp of Israel, removed and wentbehind them; and the pillar of cloud removed from before them, and stood behind them; and it

came between the camp of Egypt and the camp of Israel; and there was the cloud and the

darkness here, yet gave it light by night there; and the one came not near the other all night.

And Moses stretched out his hand over the sea; and YAHWEHcaused the sea to go back by a

strong east wind all night, and made the sea dry land, and the waters were divided. And the

Children of Israel went into the middle of the sea on dry ground; and the waters were a wall ontheir left and right. And the Egyptians pursued, and went in after them into the middle of the sea,

all Pharaoh's horses, his chariots, and his horsemen. And it came to pass in the morning watch,

that YAHWEHlooked on the army of the Egyptians through the pillar of fire and of cloud, anddiscomfited the Egyptian troops. And He took off their chariot wheels, and made them to drive

heavily; so that the Egyptians said, Let us flee from the face of Israel; for YAHWEHfights for

them against the Egyptians. And YAHWEHsaid unto Moses, Stretch out thy hand over the seathat the waters may come back upon the Egyptians, upon their chariots, and upon their

horsemen. And Moses stretched his hand over the sea; and the sea returned to its strength when

the morning appeared; and the Egyptians fled against it; and YAHWEHoverthrew the Egyptiansin the middle of the sea. And the waters returned, and covered the chariots, and the horsemen,

even all Pharaohs troops that went in after them into the sea; there remained not so much as one

of them. But the children of Israel walked on dry land in the middle of the sea; and the waters

were a wall unto them on their right hand, and on their left. Thus YAHWEH Saved Israel thatday out of the hand of the Egyptians; and Israel saw the Egyptians dead upon the seashore. And

Israel saw the great work which YAHWEH did on the Egyptians, and the people fearedYAHWEH; and they believed in YAHWEH, and in His servant Moses.

7. The Song of Moses (Abbreviated from Exodus 15:1-21)

Then sang Moses and the children of Israel this song unto YAHWEH, and spoke, saying: I will

glorify Him; my father's God, and I will exalt Him. YAHWEHis a man of war, YAHWEHis Hisname. Who is like You among the mighty ones, YAHWEH? Who is like You, excellent inholiness, revered in praises, doing wonders? YAHWEHwill live forever and ever. And Miriam

the prophetess, the sister of Aaron, took a timbrel in her hand; and all the women went out after

her with timbrels and with dances. And Miriam responded to them: Sing to YAHWEH, for He ishighly exalted: the horse and his rider hath He thrown into the sea.

8. A Shadow of Things to Come: Leviticus 23:4-16 - Colossians 2:16 17.

These are theappointed seasons ofYAHWEH,holy rehearsals, which you shall proclaim

in theirappointed seasons. In the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month between the

evenings, is YAHWEHs Passover. And on the fifteenth day of the same month is the feast of

unleavened bread to YAHWEH. Seven days you shall eat unleavened bread. In the first dayyou shall have aholy rehearsal; you shall do no manner of servile work. And you shall bring an

offering made by fire unto YAHWEHseven days; in the seventh day is aholy rehearsal; youshall do no manner of servile work.

The Hebrew wordcren(Mau-Ahd), as used in the 23rd Chapter of Leviticus, is best translatedappointed seasonvs. feast. Each of theappointed seasons ofYAHWEHis a permanent

injunction that commemorates a past event and is a shadow or picture of a facet of His comingSalvation. YAHWEHdefines hisappointed seasons, including His Seventh Day Sabbath, as

holy rehearsals. The Hebrew expression,ycw i`xwn (Miqrah Quodesh) is best translated

holy rehearsal vs. holy convocation. The Hebrew root word`xw (Quarah) means read, reciteor in this case,rehearse. Each time we observe Shabbat (Sabbath), Pesach (Passover), Khag HaMatzot (Feast of Unleavened Bread), Shabuot (Pentecost), Yom Teruah (Trumpets), Yom

Kippur (Day of Atonement) and Succuot (Feast of Tabernacles) we are rehearing a facet of

YAHWEHs plan of salvation in the sequence He brings it to pass.

Therefore Shaul21

admonished the gentile Colossians who had come to faith, Let no mantherefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of aholy rehearsal, or of the new moon,

or of the Sabbath, which are a shadow of things to come, except the body of Messiah.22

9. Yahushua Fulfills the Passover: Luke 24:44-45

And He said to them, These are the words which I spoke to you while I was still with you, that

all things must be fulfilled which were written in the Law of Moses and in the Prophets and in

the Psalms concerning Me. Then He opened their understanding to understand the Scriptures23

.

1st

Corinthians 5:7: Yahushua is our Passover.

Exodus 12:3-6: The Passover lamb is selected on the 10th day of the first month and examined

to ensure it is without blemish.

Matthew, Chapters 20 27:24, Mark Chapters 11 15:14, Luke Chapters 18 -

23:22, John 12 - 18:38:Yahushua entered Jerusalem on the 10

th

day of the first month,expelled the merchandisers from the temple, taught in the temple and was tried by thechief priests and elders and then by Herod the Tetrarch and finally by Pilate. The chief

priests, Pharisees and Sadducees could find no fault in His teachings. Therefore, they

brought charges of blasphemy against Yahushua and tried Him in an unlawful forum.

Even so, they could find no fault in Him and brought false charges of sedition againstHim before Pilate. Pilate first deferred to Herod the Tetrarch who found no substance in

their charges. Ultimately, Pilate found no fault in Yahushua.

Exodus 12:6: And the whole assembly of the congregation of Israel shall kill it between theevenings.

John 13:1, 19:14-42: Yahushua was put to death on the execution stake onthe 14th

day

of the first month, which is the Passover. The Passover itself isnot a day during which

work is prohibited. During Passover,preparations are made for the Feast of UnleavenedBread, during which servile work is prohibited. Therefore concerning the Passover, the

day Yahushua was crucified, John writes, It was the preparation. Passover, as each of

YAHWEHsholy rehearsals on His lunar calendar, may fall on any day of the week.

The Passover that year was on the 4th

day of the week (called Wednesday) not the sixth

day of the week (called Friday). The Feast of Unleavened Bread was the High

SabbathJohn refers to. It is one of three High Sabbathson YAHWEHs calendar aswritten in Deuteronomy 16:16, Three times in a year shall all your males appear beforeYAHWEH your God in the place which He shall choose: in the Feast of Unleavened

Bread, and in the Feast of Weeks, and in the Feast of Tabernacles.24

Matthew 27:46, Mark 15:34, Luke 23:44-46: Yahushua expired on the execution stake

between the evenings.

Matthew 12:39-40, Mark 16:4, Luke 11:29: Yahushua wasresurrected after a fullthree days and a full three nights, fulfilling the sign of Jonah, as He said, as Jonah was

three days and three nights in the belly of the fish so shall the Son of man be three days

and three nights in the heart of the earth. Yahushua was buried just before nightfall onthe 4th day of the week (called Wednesday) a few hours after he expired on the execution

stake, but before the beginning of the Feast of Unleavened Bread on the 5th

day of the

week (called Thursday). He was resurrected at the conclusion of the Sabbath, at the startof the first day of the week (called Sunday), thus precisely fulfilling His prophecy

concerning the sign of Jonah.

Leviticus 23:9-16: YAHWEH commanded Moses and the Children of Israel that when theyentered the promised land to offer a sheaf25

of thefirst fruits of their harvest as a wave offering

onthe day following the weekly Sabbath. The day following the weekly Sabbath of the Feast of

Unleavened Bread begins the counting of the Omer, the countdown to Shabuot.

Acts 1:1-5, Acts 2:1-4, 1st Corinthians 15:12-23, Revelations 1:1-6: Yahushua fulfilledfirst fruits upon

his resurrection. The wave offering of the first fruits is prophetic of the resurrection of Yahushua, which

24The term High Sabbath is not used anywhere in theHebrew Scriptures in reference to any of YAHWEHs

appointed seasons including the weekly Sabbath. Neither is it used in theHebrew Scriptures in reference to any of

the other appointed seasons coinciding with the weekly Sabbath,as is often supposed. The term High Sabbath

came into use to refer to the three pilgrimage festivals, Feast of Unleavened Bread, Feast of Weeks and Feast of

Tabernacles. Also, see page 2 regarding the evolution of the use of the term Passover.25

He prophesied would be three days and nights after He was put to death on the execution stake. In theHebrew Scriptures, a sheaf is used to typify a person or persons (Genesis 37:5-11). Yahushuah will return

to earth (Zechariah 14:4) during His second coming as King over all the earth. He also will bring the

sheaves (the believers in Yahushua as the Messiah) with Him (Psalm 126, Mark 4:26-29, Jude 14).

The Essence of Passover for the Body of Messiah: Dont you know that a little leaven leavens

the whole lump of dough? Purge out therefore the old leaven that you may be a new loaf, as yeare unleavened. For even the Messiah our Passover is sacrificed for us. Therefore let us keep

the feast, not with old leaven, neither with the leaven of malice and wickedness; but with the

unleavened breadof sincerity and truth. (1st

Corinthians 5: 7 -8)

ziteq dldz10. Summation Psalm: Psalm 105 is fitting for the rehearsal of the Passover. It summarizes Passover

beginning with the covenant that YAHWEH made with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob and culminates with

YAHWEHs provision of bread from heaven and water from the rock. Yahushua is that unleavened bread

of life, which if we partake we will no longer hunger and the living water, which if we drink we will thirstno more. He is the rock of our salvationfor Yahushua is YAHWEH and YAHWEH is Yahushua.

Sovereign of the Universe who reigned ere any creature yet was formed.At that time when all was made by His desire, then was His Name proclaimed as King.

And after all shall have come to an end, He alone shall reign in awe.He was,He is, and He shall be in honor.

And He is One, and there's no other, to compare to Him to contend with Him.

Without beginning, without end and to Him belongs strength and dominion.

And He is my God, and my redeemer lives, The Rock in my travail in the time of my distress.

And He is my banner and my refuge, the portion of my cup in the day that I shall call.

The Communion Ceremony

Preface

Yahushua established the rite of communion and exemplified humility and service by washing

his disciples feet during the meal commonly referred to as The Last Supper. By comparingthe synoptic Gospels of Matthew, Mark and Luke to the Gospel of John, we see that The Last

Supper occurred after sundown when the 13th

day of the first month had ended and the 14th

dayof the first month had just begun. We recognize that The Last Supper was not Passover, asYahushua Himself fulfilled the Passover some hours later.

27

Therefore it is fitting that members of the Body of Messiah partake of communion at sundown

on the 13th day of the first month as a family unit or in small groups before assembling the

following evening for the congregational Seder at the beginning of the Feast of Unleavened

Bread. Unlike the Kiddush on Shabbat, the bread used during communion should be unleavenedbread and the beverage should be unfermented grape juice representing the sinless Messiah.
