How to observe Passover

This is how one observes the Passover

First of all, this ritual of the Pesach sacrifice shall be performed by the oldest family member of whom there are children. If a family is too small, however, as in only three souls, they must join themselves with their neighbors, or the neighbors must join them. This is the case of the family of three who cannot eat a whole lamb or goat within a short period of time; namely from sunset [the very beginning of the 15th of Aviv/Abib to the first gleam of daybreak, around 5 A.M. or so [you have to look outside to see if light is starting to appear]. Other than this criteria, it shall be that on the tenth day of Aviv (Abib), you shall gain a lamb or a goat for yourself and your family, and possibly for some neighbors. The reason I say this is because, if your family is too small, then your family does not have to be concerned about picking out a flawless lamb or goat. Rather, you simply need to find a neighbor or family or group of people that you can eat it with. However, you ought to do diligence in regards to the lamb or goat that your neighbor picked out, to see whether or not he picked a blemished one or a flawless one. For you do not want to find yourself sinning against HaShem, the Blessed and Holy One of Israel.

In order to determine whether or not the animal is "flawless" or not, you must inspect the animal to see if it has any bruises, cuts, deformities, scars or any type of blemish, even missing hair. Also, this must be done to see if it has been neutered. If it has been neutered, or has any blemish the animal is defiled and must not be used for the Pesach offering. When the commandments surrounding Pesach say that the animal is to be "without blemish," this does not mean that the animal is to be of a pure single color, such as pure black, red, or white. This is not the case, for many species of goats and sheep have special patterns. A blotch mark in that pattern would make that animal "blemished," because it is not a natural marking. I am only saying this because many people erroneously believe that the "without blemish" command is also referring to their coat's color which it isn't.

Once a perfect animal has been found, you are to have the animal in Jerusalem by the 14th day of Aviv. In doing so you must make sure that you do not injure it in anyway before actually sacrificing it.

Before the sacrifice, you must determine where you will eat the Passover, so that when you kill the Passover you may eat it at the place that was prepared for such a meal, for that place must be absolutely kosher, not in the oral since of "Rabbinical" Judaism, but clean from all uncleanness [whatever that might entail.] There must also be no yeast nor any food or drink that is non-organic. "Rabbinical" Judaism does not have organic standards, which is to their downfall. They only judge food and drink according to the laws of Lev 11, and whether or not things have yeast or leavening in them for Passover. They have many man made laws for foods and drinks that they consider kosher that are completely unkosher in the eyes of HaShem - because they are not organic. They even go so far as to claim many things that are forbidden in the eyes of HaShem to be kosher; ie, cigarettes, medicine, and other non-organic stuff.

Regarding the actual korban pesach (Passover sacrifice,) there must be an ample amount of time before sunset for you to slit the animal's throat and for it to die. During the day of the 14th of Aviv, right before sundown, you shall already have the lamb or goat before the Temple along with a basin to catch the blood in that will come from sacrificing the animal. While the lamb is still living, you shall hold its head back and slice through his neck at its main artery with a clean sharp blade. When this is done, the animal's heart will pump out its blood into the clean basin that you have provided. The basin must be clean with untainted spring, stream or well water. I say this because many water supplies throughout Israel, whether their lakes, streams or rivers are absolutely tainted by non-organic farming practices. This is because the water contained fertilizers, pesticides, herbicides, pharmaceuticals and so forth - things that make the water supply very unkosher.

After sacrificing the animal, the priest is to take the blood contained in your vessel or basin and sprinkle it against the altar. You are not to sprinkle it on the doorposts of your home, for that was only for the original passover in order to redeem any and all firstborn people. The fat of the animal must also be burned as a burnt offering to HaShem, Whose Holy name is Yehowah - the Holy God of Israel.

Despite how "Rabbinical" Judaism conducts their so-called "kosher butcher" techniques, the sacrifice of the Pesach is actually quite different according to Biblical law. It would also be considered quite cruel to them as well. I say this because when your sharp blade goes across the neck of the holy offering, the animal is to have enough life still in him so that his heart can greatly thrust out as much blood as possible from his system. In the process of this sacrifice he will die, but he is not to die so fast that the heart cannot pump out too much blood.

--------------

Before the sunset at the end/close of the 13th day of Abib, the day before the Passover sacrifice, you must make yourself clean and then cannot become unclean until the very end of the 21st of Aviv. He who is unclean must not participate in the Passover Offering, nor eat any of it, whether they be unclean because of semen, a dead body or menstrual blood or...... Again, if they become unclean they must not eat the Passover, they would have to celebrate the Passover in the second month on the 14th of the month in the evening..

Before any of the ritual is performed all the children must be present, for they must learn this great and awesome service with diligence. That is if they are clean. This is why a child might ask the question, "What does this ceremony mean to you [Ex 12:26]?" Then, because the passover ritual leans or flows into a special Sabbath, the feast day of Unleavened Bread, no one is allowed to conduct any sort of business transaction. This also goes for the 21st day of Aviv, which is also a special Sabbath. On the 16th, 17th, 18th, 19th and 20th you may conduct business, but not on the 15th, nor the 21st. As you know already, by what I said earlier, you are not to have any sexual relations, nor are you to make yourselves unclean in any way during this time [that is - from the 14th to the close of the 21st day of Aviv]. It would be wise, therefore, to stay away from those that are not Torah observant, because uncleanness is rampant among them. Some go to funerals or a graveyard and then go to the store or gas station and touch things. If you touch those very things, you will have defiled yourself during these High Holy Days, which you are not allowed to do.

In regards to not conducting business on the 15th and the 21st, this also goes for utilities, because if the meter is running, you have to pay for it. You also cannot participate in the business of sinners during these days, like using postage stamps, cell phones, listening to the radio and so forth. Just because a sinner is sinning in his rebellion or ignorance, you still must not participate with him, not even in the slightest way.

-------------------

After slaying the Passover lamb or goat, you shall roast it over the fire. The best way of doing this is by shoving a rod lengthwise through him and suspending it over an open fire somehow. However, there are other ways as well, such as tying it to a sturdy stick and then suspending it over the fire or... When the animal is done cooking during the night of the 15th of Aviv you shall eat it with bitter herbs. The bitter herbs are to be raw and without anything sweet mixed in as "Rabbinical" Judaism dictates in their oral traditions, which is not real "Judaism. Likewise, you must eat these two things together with unleavened bread.

The unleavened bread would be better if it were flexible as if it were cooked in hot oil or made with a little oil, so that it is like a tortilla or a "soft taco." However, this is not mandatory, it just needs to be unleavened. The reason I say this, however, is because this is probably how the bread really was on the night that the Israelites fled from Egypt. That is after the angel of HaShem "Passed Over" all the residences in the land Egypt and after killing all the firstborn males, whether old or if they were just born, if the redemptive blood was not on the outer doorposts of their residence, the Israelites ate their bread in its unrisen state.

You must eat these three items together as a sandwich, burrito, taco; or, even as a pita-type of sandwich. Just as long as you eat them together you are fulfilling the command. You shall also hold a staff in your hand while wearing a toga-type of garment or robe with your loins girded and sandals on your feet The reason your loins must be girded and that your staff must be in your hand while your sandals are on your feet is so that that you can act like you are in a hurry to get somewhere and you have no time to leisurely sit around, thus you must eat it quickly or in haste.

This holy festival is to commemorate our days in Egypt, namely the night of the 15th of Aviv, when HaShem slayed all the firstborn of people and beasts that belonged to the Egyptians. After HaShem slayed the firstborn the Egyptians got so scared of HaShem that they told us to leave immediately. Thus, they pressed us to go. For they were afraid that HaShem might strike them also. Because of this, we left before our dough could rise; and so we had plain bread that night. Because of those circumstances we memorialize those exact events - though not quite exactly - and so do these things in this prescribed manner. Anyone that does differently transgresses against the words of HaShem. To mimic the plain bread that we eat in our haste, we eat unleavened bread or bread that never had leavening added to it. By the wording found in Exodus we see that the people did have leavening in theirs but it didn't rise yet, thus when we eat unleavened bread we mimic their "plain bread." For here is what Exodus 12:34, "And the people took their dough before it was leavened, their kneadingtroughs being bound up in their clothes upon their shoulders."

These words, "before it was leavened," and more precisely the word "leavened [Chametz = חמץ]" means "to be sour from spoilage" or "to become fermented." Which would mean that the verse should read something like this: "And the people took their dough before it rose from fermentation, their kneadingtroughs being bound up in their clothes..."

Now, if the Temple in Jerusalem is not existing, as is the case right now - 4/16/2009 - you must fulfill the commandment that requires you to build it, and do so as soon as possible. Thus, you must destroy the mosque so that these commandments can be obeyed, and these feasts can be observed. Till that time however, you must not celebrate the Passover rites, for you would be guilty of bloodshed if you do. However, some of the commandments of the Passover and the Feast of Unleavened Bread must continually be performed, regardless if the Temple were existing or not. These commandments are: All manner of leavened bread (fermented bread or bread containing yeast), or simply "Active Yeast," must not exist in all of the land of Israel before the sunset ends on the 14th day of Abib. If you are in a foreign country you must not own any, nor have any in your possession, nor on your property during these times. Nor are you allowed to enter into a non-torah-observant person's home, or business if they have such forbidden products [bread or yeast] laying around. You must not make yourself unclean during these eight days, the 14th - the 21st days of Abib. Likewise, you must eat unleavened bread for each of the seven days of the Feast.

Now for the "Christians" who might be visiting this site, the Passover has nothing to do with sin, nor the forgiveness of sin as many of you erroneously assume. Rather, it is a remembrance offering of the original redemption offering for our firstborn children from the angel that "passed over" our homes in Egypt so that they would not be killed by him. This is because - according to the law of Yehowah - all firstborn male children go to Yehowah. However, He does not want us to offer up our children in sacrifice. Because of this, He commands us to redeem our firstborn children, not with a flawless lamb or goat as in the first and original Passover/Pesach, but only with 5 shekels of silver. However, if we do not redeem our firstborn children, Yehowah will/might take them for not redeeming that particular child in question. When the firstborn male son turns a month old this shall be the time that this redemption commandment must be fulfilled. This ruling is found in Numbers 18:15-16, "Every thing that openeth the matrix in all flesh, which they bring unto Yehowah, [whether it be] of men or beasts, shall be thine: nevertheless the firstborn of man shalt thou surely redeem [not sacrifice], and the firstling of unclean beasts shalt thou redeem. And those that are to be redeemed from a month old shalt thou redeem, according to thine estimation, for the money of five shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary, which [is] twenty gerahs." Because the Egyptians did not redeem their firstborn sons with the same "original" passover offering Yehowah had His holy angel execute the firstborn children of Egypt. Passover, therefore, is a memorial to those events of so long ago. Yehowah is our God. There is none like Him and He is not a tri-god, nor a trinity. All His ways are just and His anointed servant to come, the moshiach - the legendary king that will rule the whole world by the laws of Moses and the other prophets, is not the God of Israel in any fashion. "Christian" you must repent for believing that our moshiach is our Holy God, that is blasphemy and you will be condemned by our moshiach when he comes

if you believe this and do not repent.

Now here are the commands regarding the festival

1. Exodus 12:3-14

"Tell the whole community of Israel that on the tenth day of this month each man is to take a

lamb for his family, one for each household. If any household is too small for a whole lamb,

they must share one with their nearest neighbor, having taken into account the number of

people there are. You are to determine the amount of lamb needed in accordance with

what each person will eat. The animals you choose must be year-old males without defect,

and you may take them from the sheep or the goats. Take care of them until the fourteenth

day of the month, when all the people of the community of Israel must slaughter them

between the evenings (that is sunset, when the sun is dipping). Then they are to take some

of the blood and put it on the sides and tops of the doorframes of the houses where they

eat the lambs. That same night they are to eat the meat roasted over the fire, along with

bitter herbs, and bread made without yeast. Do not eat the meat raw or cooked in water,

but roast it over the fire--head, legs and inner parts. Do not leave any of it till morning; if

some is left till morning, you must burn it. This is how you are to eat it: with your cloak

tucked into your belt, your sandals on your feet and your staff in your hand. Eat it in haste;

it is the LORD's Passover. On that same night I will pass through Egypt and strike down

every firstborn--both men and animals--and I will bring judgment on all the gods of Egypt.

I am HaShem. The blood will be a sign for you on the houses where you are; and when I

see the blood, I will pass over you. No destructive plague will touch you when I strike

Egypt. This is a day you are to commemorate; for the generations to come you shall

celebrate it as a festival to Yehowah -- a lasting ordinance."

2. Exodus 12:21-27

"Then Moses summoned all the elders of Israel and said to them, "Go at once and select the

animals for your families and slaughter the Passover lamb. Take a bunch of hyssop, dip it

into the blood in the basin and put some of the blood on the top and on both sides of the

doorframe. Not one of you shall go out the door of his house until morning. When the

LORD goes through the land to strike down the Egyptians, he will see the blood on the top

and sides of the doorframe and will pass over that doorway, and he will not permit the

destroyer to enter your houses and strike you down. Obey these instructions as a lasting

ordinance for you and your descendants. When you enter the land that the LORD will give

you as he promised, observe this ceremony. And when your children ask you, `What does

this ceremony mean to you?' then tell them, `It is the Passover sacrifice to the LORD, who

passed over the houses of the Israelites in Egypt and spared our homes when he struck down

the Egyptians.'"

3. Exodus 12:42

"Because HaShem kept vigil that night to bring them out of Egypt, on this night all the

Israelites are to keep vigil to honor HaShem for the generations to come."

4. Exodus 12:43-49

"HaShem said to Moses and Aaron, "These are the regulations for the Passover: No

foreigner is to eat of it. Any slave you have bought may eat of it after you have circumcised

him, but a temporary resident and a hired worker may not eat of it. It must be eaten inside

one house; take none of the meat outside the house. Do not break any of the bones. The

whole community of Israel must celebrate it. An alien living among you who wants to

celebrate HaShem's Passover must have all the males in his household circumcised; then he

may take part like one born in the land. No uncircumcised male may eat of it. The same

law applies to the native-born and to the alien living among you."

5. Exodus 13:3

"Then Moses said to the people, "Commemorate this day, the day you came out of Egypt,

out of the land of slavery, because HaShem brought you out of it with a mighty hand. Eat

nothing containing yeast."

6. Exodus 23:14

"Three times throughout the year you must keep a feast unto Me."

7. Exodus 23:17-18

"Three times a year all the men are to appear before the Sovereign HaShem. Do not offer

the blood of a sacrifice to me along with anything containing yeast. The fat of my festival

offerings must not be kept until morning."

8. Exodus 34:25

"Do not offer the blood of a sacrifice to me along with anything containing yeast, and do not

let any of the sacrifice from the Passover Feast remain until morning."

9. Leviticus 17:3-4

"Any Israelite who sacrifices an ox, a lamb or a goat in the camp or outside of it instead of

bringing it to the entrance to the Tent of Meeting to present it as an offering to the LORD in

front of the tabernacle of HaShem--that man shall be considered guilty of bloodshed; he

has shed blood and must be cut off from his people."

10. Leviticus 17:10-12

"Any Israelite or any alien living among them who eats any blood--I will set my face against

that person who eats blood and will cut him off from his people. For the life of a creature is

in the blood. Therefore I say to the Israelites, "None of you may eat blood, nor may an

alien living among you eat blood."

11. Exodus 12:21-27

"And why does your son in the first place say to you, `What does this ceremony mean to

you?' and the reason he is even there watching. It is because you are obeying the

command of Deuteronomy 6:7, "And thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children."

And the reason he asks you this question in the first place is because he just watched you

slay an animal and pour its blood into a basin and sees that the blood is sprinkled against

the sides of the altar and you eat this sacrifice with bitter herbs and unleavened bread and

in haste with yours loins girded, sandals on your feet and holding a staff.

This also teaches that the son may not do this rite till the parent dies and only then if he has

children himself or if the parent is unfit to do the rite himself, because of uncleanness or..."

Remember what the commandment says at the beginning of Exodus 12, it says, "each man

is to take a lamb for his family," so if do not have a family, you cannot sacrifice the animal.

12. Leviticus 23:2

"Speak to the Israelites and say to them: `These are my appointed feasts, the appointed

feasts of HaShem, which you are to proclaim as sacred assemblies."

13. Leviticus 23:5-8

"HaShem's Passover begins at twilight on the fourteenth day of the first month. On the

fifteenth day of that month HaShem's Feast of Unleavened Bread begins; for seven days

you must eat bread made without yeast. On the first day hold a sacred assembly and do

no regular [or servile, nor business] work. For seven days present an offering made to

HaShem by fire. And on the seventh day hold a sacred assembly and do no regular work

[or servile, nor business]."

14. Numbers 9:10-14

"When any of you or your descendants are unclean because of a dead body or...." anything

that causes them to be unclean you must not celebrate the Passover, however if you are

clean by the second month of the fourteenth day you must celebrate it then. And if you are

on a far journey during the time of Passover yet you will be close enough to Jerusalem in

the second month by the fourteenth day you must celebrate it then and you must do so

according to all of its regulations ".....are away on a journey, they may still celebrate

HaShem's Passover. They are to celebrate it on the fourteenth day of the second month at

twilight. They are to eat the lamb, together with unleavened bread and bitter herbs. They

must not leave any of it till morning or break any of its bones. When they celebrate the

Passover, they must follow all the regulations. But if a man who is ceremonially clean and

not on a journey fails to celebrate the Passover, that person must be cut off from his people

because he did not present HaShem's offering at the appointed time. That man will bear

the consequences of his sin. An alien living among you who wants to celebrate HaShem's

Passover must do so in accordance with its rules and regulations. You must have the same

regulations for the alien and the native-born."

15. Numbers 28:16-25

"On the fourteenth day of the first month HaShem's Passover is to be held. On the

fifteenth day of this month there is to be a festival; for seven days eat bread made without

yeast. On the first day hold a sacred assembly and do no regular work. Present to

HaShem an offering made by fire, a burnt offering of two young bulls, one ram and seven

male lambs a year old, all without defect. With each bull prepare a grain offering of three-

tenths of an ephah of fine flour mixed with oil; with the ram, two-tenths; and with each of

the seven lambs, one-tenth. Include one male goat as a sin offering to make atonement for

you. Prepare these in addition to the regular morning burnt offering. In this way prepare

the food for the offering made by fire every day for seven days as an aroma pleasing to

HaShem; it is to be prepared in addition to the regular burnt offering and its drink offering.

On the seventh day hold a sacred assembly and do no regular work."

16. Deuteronomy 8:10

"When you have eaten and are satisfied, praise HaShem, the God regarding you, for the

good land He has given you."

17. Deuteronomy 16:1-8

"Observe the month of Abib and celebrate the Passover of Yehowah, your God,

because in the month of Abib he brought you out of Egypt by night. Sacrifice as the

Passover to Yehowah, your God, an animal from your flock that has been

examined over (not: "or herd." The reason I say ' not herd' is because if you change the vowels

with the Hebrew word that is located here in the torah, it can also mean: "that has been inspected."

Which works in this verse)] at the place HaShem will choose as a dwelling for his Name.

Do not eat it with bread made with yeast, but for seven days eat unleavened bread, the bread of affliction,

because you left Egypt in haste--so that all the days of your life you may remember the time of your departure

from Egypt. Let no yeast be found in your possession in all your land for seven days. Do not let any of the

meat you sacrifice on the evening of the first day remain until morning. You must not sacrifice

the Passover in any town HaShem the God regarding you gives you except in the place he will

choose as a dwelling for his Name. There you must sacrifice the Passover in the evening, But at

the place which HaShem the God regarding you shall choose to place His name in, there

thou shalt sacrifice the Passover at evening, at the setting of the sun, at the time of thy

departure from Egypt. Roast it and eat it at the place HaShem the God regarding you will

choose. Then in the morning return to your tents. For six days eat unleavened bread and

on the seventh day hold an assembly to HaShem the God regarding you and do no work."

18. You must blow the shofar at the exact time the moon is 100% full, according to the commandment found

in Psalm 81:3-4, "Sound the ram's horn at the New Moon, and when the moon is full, on the day of our

Feast; this is a decree for Israel, an ordinance of the God of Jacob." The Full Moon always falls on either

the 14th or 15th of the month, because we use a "moon and sun" calendar and not strictly a sun calendar.

We determine the beginning of our months, including New Year, by the New Moons - but we use the sun

for the seasons and when the New Year should finally come, that time being any Rosh Chodesh that

should fall on or any time after the first day of Spring.

19. In case you are wondering where I am getting the fact that the blood of the Passover is NOT sprinkled on

the doorposts as was the case in the original Passover, this truth is found in the JPS [a Jewish Bible] version.

Namely in 2 Chronicles 35:10-12, "So the service was prepared, and the priests stood in their place, and

the Levites by their courses, according to the king's commandment. And they [the people] killed the

passover lamb, and the priests dashed or sprinkled the blood, which they received of their hand, and the

Levites cut them open or flayed them. And they removed the portions that were to be burnt [the fat], that

they might give them to the divisions of the fathers' houses of the children of the people, to present unto

the Yehowah, as it is written in the book of Moses." We also see that the fat was taken and burned on the

altar of Yehowah in the Temple.

20. If your wife or daughter is unclean because of her monthly flow, you must not drink from the same cup they are

using, because through their spit you will become unclean, it would be as if they were to touch you. Watch out

when they sneeze as well.

21. If your wife is unclean because of her monthly flow and you are within seven days of reaching Pesach, you ought to

not sleep with her when Pesach is approaching, because if blood should be on the bed, that will defile you for that

particular day. If you should role around on the bed and actually touch the blood itself you will be unclean for

seven full days and then would not be able to celebrate the holy feast, thus safeguard yourself from all uncleanness.

Likewise, if a child is trained to go to the "bathroom" the mom must not touch those children during her

uncleanness, since there is no need for her to do so. This is unlike the child that needs changing or if the child

cannot feed himself, yet.

22. A man must not ejaculate during Pesach, because this will defile him, as well as his wife. One must not be defiled

during a holy day. Even if the Temple is not existing, one still must do certain commandments.

AS FAR AS BUSINESS, WORK AND CHORES ARE CONCERNED ON THE 1ST AND 7TH OF THE FEAST OF UNLEAVENED BREAD:

Nehemiah 10:

And [if] the people of the land bring ware or any victuals on the sabbath day to sell, [that] we would not buy it of them on the sabbath, or any holy day: and [that] we would leave the seventh year, and the exaction of every debt. Also we made ordinances for us, to charge ourselves yearly with the third part of a shekel for the service of the house of our God.

The reason I am mentioning this is because many people still conduct business during these days. One of the majors errors that people do in modern society is they leave their utilities on, where you must shut them off, because you must pay for what you use, thus this is business and you must not do business on holy days. Portable propane space heaters can be used during cold months for heat, and coolers can be used to cool food and portable fans can be used to cool you in hot months. Make sure you have enough spring water or well water out for use as well.

You must not conduct any servile work on the 15th, nor on the 21st day of the month of Abib. You must not do any yard work, house cleaning, gardening and... this is all servile work. You may cook for yourself and prepare food for your family. You cannot exercise, but you may do things for enjoyment which would not normally be allowed during a regular weekly shabat [Sabbath]. Thus, you have certain freedoms which would not be allowed during a regular weekly sabbath. You cannot clean, because that is servile work.

One other thing that is paramount to observe during the Feast of Unleavened Bread is this: you must avoid going to any places that contain yeast or leavened bread, such as a store, gas station or somebody's home. Because if you do you will participate in their sin by the fact that they should have destroyed such things before the feast, for their property must be free from such things.

When the 14th of Aviv arrives it is wise to stay clear from all women that are in the range of being able to menstruate, between 9(?) to 50(?) years old. This is because they can menstruate randomly without warning or without them even knowing it [many women do know, but others don't], thus defiling this most holiest of days. Play it by ear and wait until they have relieved themselves in order for them to know whether or not they are still clean. Even if you were to kiss your wife or daughter you might accidentally defile yourself. Therefore, all such girls and women should do diligence of keeping themselves from others until they themselves know for certain they are clean. For if a man should eat the holy offerings of HaShem while being unclean he will highly sin against Yehowah. Thus, be very careful. Likewise, stay clear from all manner of dead bugs and dead birds and dead beasts, for this will defile you as well so that you would not be able to celebrate HaShem's Holy Passover.

Thank You
