DEU 16:2-8 Passover Law
Scripture
You shall sacrifice the Passover to YHWH your God, of the flock and the herd, in the place which YHWH shall choose to cause his name to dwell there. 3 You shall eat no leavened bread with it. You shall eat unleavened bread with it seven days, even the bread of affliction (for you came out of the land of Egypt in haste) that you may remember the day when you came out of the land of Egypt all the days of your life. 4 No yeast shall be seen with you in all your borders seven days; neither shall any of the meat, which you sacrifice the first day at evening, remain all night until the morning. 5 You may not sacrifice the Passover within any of your gates which YHWH your God gives you; 6 but at the place which YHWH your God shall choose to cause his name to dwell in, there you shall sacrifice the Passover at evening, at the going down of the sun, at the season that you came out of Egypt. 7 You shall roast and eat it in the place which YHWH your God chooses. In the morning you shall return to your tents. 8 Six days you shall eat unleavened bread. On the seventh day shall be a solemn assembly to YHWH your God. You shall do no work.

Law
You shall sacrifice the Passover to YHWH your God, of the flock and the herd, in the place which YHWH shall choose to cause his name to dwell there.
You shall eat no leavened bread with it.
You shall eat unleavened bread with it seven days, even the bread of affliction (for you came out of the land of Egypt in haste) that you may remember the day when you came out of the land of Egypt all the days of your life.
No yeast shall be seen with you in all your borders seven days;
Neither shall any of the meat, which you sacrifice the first day at evening, remain all night until the morning.
You may not sacrifice the Passover within any of your gates which YHWH your God gives you; but at the place which YHWH your God shall choose to cause his name to dwell in, there you shall sacrifice the Passover at evening, at the going down of the sun, at the season that you came out of Egypt. You shall roast and eat it in the place which YHWH your God chooses. In the morning you shall return to your tents.
Six days you shall eat unleavened bread.
On the seventh day shall be a solemn assembly to YHWH your God. You shall do no work.
Judgement
For whoever eats leavened bread from the first day until the seventh day, that soul shall be cut off from Israel.
For whoever eats that which is leavened, that soul shall be cut off from the congregation of Israel, whether he is a foreigner, or one who is born in the land.
The man who is clean, and is not on a journey, and fails to keep the Passover, that soul shall be cut off from his people. Because he didn’t offer the offering of YHWH in its appointed season, that man shall bear his sin.
Biblical Example
So all the service of Yahweh was prepared the same day, to keep the Passover, and to offer burnt offerings on Yahweh’s altar, according to the commandment of King Josiah. 17 The children of Israel who were present kept the Passover at that time, and the feast of unleavened bread seven days. 18 There was no Passover like that kept in Israel from the days of Samuel the prophet, nor did any of the kings of Israel keep such a Passover as Josiah kept with the priests, the Levites, and all Judah and Israel who were present, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
2 Chronicles 35:16-18 (WEB)
This biblical example is referring to the Passover that occurred in King Josiah's eighteenth year as king of Israel. King Josiah became king of Israel at eight years old; after the assassination of his father King Amos, a man who did evil in the eyes of YHWH.
Present Day Example
This is a present day example of the Passover Law not being followed.
In 2021, the Passover occurred on March 27th; an individual in The House of Israel that did not properly partake in the Passover disobeyed this law.
