When did passover begin?

Answer 1

The first Passover was when God killed all the first-born people and animals in Egypt but "passed over" the enslaved Israelites in Egypt (if they had marked their door-posts with blood: if they didn't they died.) and God accordingly gave instructions for being "passed over" in His Judgement this first Passover.

Exo 12:1-3, 5-8,10- 14 KJV And the LORD spake unto Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt, saying, [v. 2] This month [ie Nisan] shall be...the first month of the year to you. [v. 3] Speak ye unto all the congregation of Israel, saying, Inthe tenth day of this month they shall take to them every man a lamb, according to the house of their fathers,a lamb for an house: [v. 5] Your lamb shall be without blemish, a male of the first year: ye shall take it out from the sheep, or from the goats: [v. 6] And ye shallkeep it up until the fourteenth day of the same month [ie Nisan]: and ...kill it in the evening.[v.7] And they shall take of the blood, and strike it on the two side posts and on theupper door post of the houses, wherein they shall eat it. [v. 8] And they shall eat the flesh in that night,... [v. 10] And ye shall let nothing of it remain until the morning; ... [v. 11] And thus shall ye eat it; with your loins girded, your shoes on your feet, and your staff in your hand; and ye shall eat it in haste: it is the LORD'S passover. [v. 12] For I will pass through the land of Egypt this night [ie 14th of Nisan], and will smite 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. [v. 13] And the blood shall be to you for a token upon the houses where ye are: and when I see the blood, I will pass over you, and the plague shall not be upon you to destroy you, when I smite the land of Egypt. [v. 14] And this day shall be unto you for a memorial; and ye shall keep it a feast to the LORD throughout your generations; ye shall keep it a feast by an ordinance for ever.

This first Passover immediately preceded the Exodus, which was dated by Bishop Ussher at 1446BC. Moses repeated these Passover requirements to the people after their exodus for the next Passover which would have been in 1445-1444BC [Hebrew and Gregorian calendars do not coincide]:-

Exo 12:25-27 KJV And it shall come to pass, when ye be come to the land which the LORD will give you, according as he hath promised, that ye shall keepthis service. [v.26] And it shall come to pass, when your children shall say unto you, What mean ye by this service? [v. 27] That ye shall say,It is the sacrifice of the LORD'S passover, who passed over the houses of the children of Israel in Egypt, when he smote the Egyptians, and delivered our houses. And the people bowed the head and worshipped.
