Passover celebrates the Jews' freedom of Egypt. There was a very mean Pharaoh, and he would make the Jews work day and night. Moses went to Pharaoh and said to let his people go, but he said no. Ten plagues were brought upon the Egyptians. The tenth plague was death of the first born. God told Moses to tell all of the Jews to paint lambs' blood above their doors, and they did. That night, God passed over the houses with lambs' blood and killed the first born of every house without it. After that, he finally let the Jews go. The Jewish slaves ran with dough on their back. The had no yeast to make it rise, so it baked into a sort of cracker. It was called matzo. They reached the red sea, and God parted it for them to get through. It closed just in time to keep the Egyptians from getting to them. On Passover, we all recline in our chairs in relief that we were freed. For the next seven days, we fast to experience the pain brought on by the Jews' terrible working conditions. And that, my friend, is how Jewish people celebrate Passover.
(BTW, this was written by an 11 year old girl. Beat that suckers!)
Exo 12:12 'For I will pass through the land of Egypt on that night, and will strike all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both man and beast; and against all the gods of Egypt I will execute judgment: I am the LORD.
Exo 12:13 Now the blood shall be a sign for you on the houses where you are. And when I see the blood, I will pass overyou; and the plague shall not be on you to destroy you when I strike the land of Egypt.
Exo 12:27 that you shall say, 'It is the Passover sacrifice of the LORD, who passed over the houses of the children of Israel in Egypt when He struck the Egyptians and delivered our households.' " So the people bowed their heads and worshiped.
