Tammy's Notes: April Events

“And the Lord spake unto Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt saying,

This month shall be unto you the beginning of months:

it shall be the first month of the year to you.”

“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. 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.”

Exodus 12:1-2, 13-14
