There are 77 references of passover but actual Passovers there are 26 actual occurrences of passover mentioned. Through the entire timeline of The Bible there would of been about 6,000. However long it was from Adam's awakening to 50 years after Jesus died in years is how many there were. Passover is the fourteenth day of the first month aka January 14th.

New answer.

Fourteenth day of the JEWISH year. 14th Nisan. Jewish year is a lunar year with corrections. 14th Nisan varies from year to year in the Gregorian calendar. It occurs sometime in March or April.

Some passover occurrences are duplicated in Kings and Chronicles, for example. These are instances where the celebration is specifically mentioned. It happened every year - in theory.

The first Passover is in Exodus 12 (Egypt) . The second is Numbers 9. (Sinai) . The third is Joshua 5 (Gilgal). The fourth is 2 Chronicles 30 (Jerusalem - Hezekiah). The fifth is 2 Kings 23 (Jerusalem - Josiah also 2 Chronicles 35). The sixth is in Ezra 6 ( Return from Exile)

In the New Testament there is seventh Passover mentioned only in John 2. This appears to be a deliberate transposition by John in order to show that Jesus must be understood by what happened at the seventh Passover.

The seventh Passover is in all Four Gospels and is a major part of all accounts. It is also referred to by Paul in 1 Corinthians 11.

Finally, Jesus refers to an eighth Passover which is yet to be celebrated once the Kingdom of God is established. He appears to forswear wine until then. This seems to be a Nazirite vow on His part.

Jews may wish to dispute the last two but the numeric significance when taken together is awesome.

Ends.

Jews have been observing Passover continuously for 3325 years.

Additional Answer:

As many Christians see the Passover as foreshadowing Jesus' sacrifice, since circa 31 AD, the Passover is a memorial of the sacrifice of Jesus Christ - "our Passover," which made possible the forgiveness of our sins, (see Leviticus 23:15, Luke 22:15-20, John 13:1-5; 14-15, and 1 Corinthians 5:7).

Why isn't the Bible a credible source?

AnswerNo one can say that the bible is not a credible sourse, but we have to realize that while what we watch on television of Moses going into the hills and having the ten commandments carved out in stone is Hollywood's version of what really happened. Also the bible as we know it today has been translated so many times from who knows how many languages that it would be impossible to say what the original bible actually said. The only thing that I know is what's written in the bible concerning man and his greed has come true so far.Please see the discussion page for a response to this answer.
