The first pa over (that in Egypt), those subsequently occurring in Old Testament times, and of the New Testament and later ism, were all somewhat different. In the first of these a lamb without blemish was taken on the tenth, and killed on the fourteenth, of the month Abib, thenceforward in consequence to be reckoned the first month of the ecclesiastical year. The blood of the lamb was to be sprinkled on the two side-posts and the single upper door-post, and the flesh eaten "with unleavened bread and bitter herbs" before morning (Exodus xii. 1-13). That night Jehovah, pa ing over the blood-stained doors, slew the first-born in the Egyptian houses not similarly protected; and, as the emancipated Jews that night departed from Egypt, that first pa over could have continued only one day. But the festival was to be an annual one. Connected with it was to be a feast of unleavened bread, continuing seven additional days, viz., from the fifteenth to the twenty-first of Abib, during which no leaven was to be eaten, or even allowed to be in the house (Exod. xii. 14-20; Num. xxviii. 16). [UNLEAVENED.] Sometimes the term pa over is limited to the festival of the fourteenth of Abib; sometimes it includes that and the feast of unleavened bread also, the two being viewed as parts of one whole (Ezek. xlv. 21). When the Jews reached Canaan, every male was required to present himself before God thrice a year, viz., at the pa over, or feast of unleavened bread, at that of " harvest," and that of "ingathering" (Exod. xxiii. 16). The designations of the second and third suggest that the first also marked a stage in the agricultural year. It was, in fact, the spring-festival (Deut. xvi. 9), beld about the time when the first barley was ripe. In the Old Testament six pa overs are mentioned as having been actually kept: That in Egypt (Exod. xii. 21-28), that in the wilderne (Num. ix. 1-14), that under Joshua at Gilgal (Joshua v. 10), that under Hezekiah (2 Chron. xxx.), that under Josiah (2 Chron. xxxv.), xxxv.), and that under Ezra (Ezra vi.). After the exile wine was introduced, and is still used (cf. Matt. xxvi. 17, 27, .) In modern Judaism no lamb sin, as; expect, Xenophon, exist. ph = f. The American Dictionary and Cyclopedia pa port is sacrificed, but the shank bone of a shoulder of that animal is eaten, leaven put away, and other ceremonies observed. (2) The paschal lamb (Exod. xii. 11; 2 Chron. xxx. 15; John xviii. 28). 2. Christianity : Using pa over in the sense of the paschal lamb, St. Paul applies the term to Christ, of whose death that of the paschal lamb was typical (1 Cor. v. 7; cf. John xix. 14). [EASTER.] pa -pört, *pa e-port, pas-porte, s . [Fr. pa e port a pa port or safe-conduct, from pa er =to pa , and porte (Lat. porta ) =a gate; Sp.pas a porte ; Ital. pa a por to .] I. Literally : 1.
