What does Exodus 12:14 mean?

God has arranged everything leading up to this moment: the liberation of Israel from slavery in Egypt (Exodus 1:8–14). He has provided instructions for this first "Passover" celebration (Exodus 12:3–11). That night, God will devastate the Egyptians (Exodus 11:4–6) while sparing the Israelite homes marked with blood from sacrificed lambs (Exodus 12:12–13). The people of Israel are to remember this moment forever. It will re-align the months of their year (Exodus 12:1–2). Further, Israel is to commemorate the event forever.

Later, the Lord will provide more instructions about feast days (Deuteronomy 16:16). These would include Passover, which begins the Festival of Unleavened Bread (Deuteronomy 16:8). Also mentioned are the Feast of Weeks (Deuteronomy 16:9–12), and the Feast of Booths (Deuteronomy 16:13–15). Other feasts noted in the Old Testament are First Fruits (Exodus 23:16), Trumpets (Leviticus 23:24), and the Day of Atonement (Leviticus 23:27–28). The last two are also known as Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur.
