Which festival commemorates the Israelites' deliverance from Egypt?

• A. Passover
• B. Feast of Weeks
• C. Day of Atonement
• D. Trumpets

Answer: (A)

Passover is the festival that commemorates the Israelites' deliverance from Egypt. It recalls the night when God spared the Israelite households marked with the blood of the lamb and brought judgment on the Egyptians, delivering the people from slavery. The meal—roasted lamb, unleavened bread, and bitter herbs—serves as a lasting reminder of their hasty departure and salvation from oppression. Other festivals have different meanings: the Feast of Weeks celebrates the giving of the Law at Sinai, the Day of Atonement focuses on cleansing from sin, and the Feast of Trumpets marks the new year. So the festival tied specifically to the exodus and liberation is Passover.
