Come and study the Holy Scriptures with us as Father Stephen DeYoung teaches verse by verse on the podcast, The Whole Council of God.

Father Stephen holds a Ph.D. in biblical studies, and it's an Orthodox priest serving at Archangel Gabriel Orthodox Church in Lafayette, Louisiana.

Okay. Chapter 9. Now, the Lord spoke to Moses in the Sinai Desert in the first month of the second year after they came out of the land of Egypt, saying, speak and let the

children of Israel keep POSCA at its appointed time.

They've done the reverse of what I've always wanted them to do.

I've wanted them to change POSCA to Passover in our liturgics,

in our liturgical hymns, so our liturgical hymns will make sense.

A new and glorious POSCA, nobody knows what that means. If you said a new and glorious Passover, people would know what that means, right?

Like, translated into English.

So they've now done the opposite and just put POSCA into the Old Testament.

I don't know why.

Anyway, leave it in Greek.

So remember when God instituted the Passover,

when the actual Passover was happening,

he said this will be for you the first of months.

And then on the 15th they celebrate the Passover.

So the idea is we're now a year has passed.

It's time to celebrate the Passover.

And so this is going to be their first time sort of celebrating it liturgically.

They were fleeing Egypt.

They didn't have time to make, to let bread rise.
