Why is Passover celebrated on the 15th of Nissan and not the 14th according to the Scriptures?
In the scriptures the Passover Jews celebrate is actually two holidays called:
1)"Pesah" 2)"Hag hamatzot"
Pesah is in the 14th of the month of Nisan in the evening through the night and "Hag Hamatzot" starts in the 15th of Nisan and continues 7 days.
(As written in Leviticus 23)
Today Jews start celebrating the combination of the two that is called Passover in the the night of the 14th when they practice a ritual meal called "Leyl Haseder" and then keep on in the 15th for 7 days.

What part did the moses play in the exodus from egypt?
Moses was called upon by God to lead God's people, the Israelites, out of slavery. He was the focal point between God and Pharaoh. He delivered God's warnings to Pharaoh, culminating in the death of all first born of the Egyptians and the origin of Passover. He led the people across the Red Sea into the Sinai peninsula. He did not, however, make the last step into the Promised Land because he sinned against God.

Most Jews call the Passover meal the Seder, a word which means "order," in reference to the order of service or liturgy of the meal.

It is also sometimes called the Feast of Unleavened Bread because it features unleavened bread and one of the high points of the liturgy of the meal is the command to eat unleavened bread.
What is the meaning behind the Passover holiday?
Passover is a Jewish holiday that celebrates the liberation of the Jewish people from slavery in Egypt over 3000 years ago. The story of Exodus in the Hebrew bible tells how the Isrealites were delivered from slavery by God through Moses. The Passover Feast commemorates this.
Answer:
Pesach (Passover) is the festival in which we relive the Exodus from Egypt and our birth as a nation, both of which were preparations for receiving the Torah from God.
The highlight of Passover is the Seder meal. This meal is of great importance in Judaism. It is a 3325-year old continuous tradition that began on the night of the Exodus from Egypt (see Exodus chapter 12), and is fully detailed in our ancient Oral Traditions (Talmud, chapter Arvei Pesachim).
The Seder meal is one of those occasions, like Yom Kippur and Hanukkah, that Jews all over the world, Orthodox and non-Orthodox alike, observe in common. During the Seder, we keep the essential mitzva and customs of handing Jewish traditions down to the next generation, with the traditional Seder foods and the ceremony of reading the Passover Haggadah which retells the events of the Exodus.
During the Seder meal, other traditional foods are eaten in addition to the matzah: bitter herbs, parsley, wine and haroset (see below). Salt water, a roasted egg, and a bit of roasted meat are also on the table.
During all the days of Passover, matzah (unleavened bread) is eaten; while leavened foods such as bread, cake, cookies, cereal and pasta are forbidden. Certain prayers are added in the synagogue services, and the Torah is read each day.
Here is the symbolism of the items on the Seder plate:
The bitter herbs (maror) symbolize the harsh slavery which the Israelites suffered in Egypt. Either horseradish or romaine lettuce is traditionally used for maror.
Charoset - A sweet mixture representing the mortar used by the Jewish slaves to build the storehouses of Egypt. In Ashkenazi Jewish homes, charoset is traditionally made from chopped nuts, grated apples, cinnamon, and sweet red wine.
Karpas - A vegetable other than bitter herbs, traditionally parsley, which is dipped into salt water at the beginning of the Seder. The dipping of a simple vegetable into salt water (which represents tears) recalls the pain felt by the Jewish slaves in Egypt.
Beitzah - A hard-boiled egg, symbolizing the korban chagigah (festival sacrifice) that was offered in the Temple in Jerusalem and roasted and eaten as part of the meal on Seder night. Although both the Pesach sacrifice and the chagigah were meat offerings, the chagigah is commemorated by an egg, a symbol of mourning.
Z'roa - A roasted lamb or goat shank-bone, chicken wing, or chicken neck; symbolizing the korban Pesach (Pesach sacrifice), which was a lamb that was offered in the Temple in Jerusalem, then roasted and eaten as part of the meal on Seder night.
What religious things will you do at a Passover meal?
Personally, I hope to be alive and able to do the following:
-- recite the blessing over wine, and drink the majority of the cup, four times;
-- pour a fifth cup but not drink it, in hopes that when the Prophet Elijah arrives to
announce the coming of the Messiah, he will begin to answer the questions of
Jewish law on which our sages have never been able to agree, one of them being
whether or not we should drink a fifth cup on this occasion;
-- wash my hands at the table twice but say the corresponding blessing only once;
-- add a cushion or a small pillow to my chair, and recline comfortably on it as I eat
and drink;
-- recite the blessings that accompany eating bread and the fulfillment of the commandment
to eat matzah, and then eat matzah;
-- recite the blessing and eat greens dipped in salt water;
-- recite the blessing and eat home-brew horseradish;
-- recall and repeat the tradition of Hillel the Prince, who ate matzah and bitters together,
in accordance with the Biblical verse that commands eating both on this night;
-- invite any poor or needy to commemorate the Passover with us at my table;
-- listen carefully as the traditional "four questions" are repeated by the youngest
at the table who is able to do that ... either our baby daughter (26) or else our
baby son (23);
-- watch our daughter's son ... our first grandson ... for any sign that he might consent
to sit on my lap for a moment, some time before he falls asleep;
-- re-tell the story, the history, and the events that culminated in the Exodus from Egypt;
-- partake of an elaborate meal of many courses, flavors, and textures;
-- say Grace after the meal;
-- open the door, to make our ritual visible to passersby in the street;
-- sing traditional songs on the theme of the Exodus in particular, and the many kindnesses
in general with which we have been favored; For not only our ancestors experienced
the ultimate existential threat, but in every generation they rise up against us to destroy us,
and the Holy One rescues us from their hand.
-- pitch in to clear the table;
-- stay up for a while after everyone else has shut down, to prepare the Torah portion
that I'll read during the next morning's holiday service in the synagogue.
Those are some of the things that I hope to be able to do on the first and second
nights of Passover.
