About the event
The seventh day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread is designated as a special Sabbath, distinct from the regular weekly Sabbath. This day is referred to as a "Shabbat of solemn rest" and is marked by a holy convocation, during which no regular work is to be performed. This observance is detailed in Leviticus 23:8:
"Instead you are to present an offering made by fire to Adonai for seven days. On the seventh day is a holy convocation, when you are to do no regular work."
Similarly, Numbers 28:25 reiterates this instruction:
"On the seventh day you are to have a holy convocation; you shall do no regular work."
These passages highlight the significance of the seventh day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread as a day of rest and sacred assembly, emphasizing its importance within the biblical festival calendar.
