The blood shall be a token for you upon the houses where ye are, that when I see the blood, I may pass over you. This feast God would have to be yearly, that is, once every year seven whole days celebrated with great solemnity:1 And this day shall be unto you as a remembrance: and ye shall keep it an holy feast unto the Lord, throughout your generations ye shall keep it an holy ordinance for ever.

Again, Christ our passover is sacrificed for us:
