Context — The Feast of Unleavened Bread
14And this day will be a memorial for you, and you are to celebrate it as a feast to the LORD, as a permanent statute for the generations to come.
15For seven days you must eat unleavened bread. On the first day you are to remove the leaven from your houses. Whoever eats anything leavened from the first day through the seventh must be cut off from Israel. 16On the first day you are to hold a sacred assembly, and another on the seventh day. You must not do any work on those days, except to prepare the meals—that is all you may do.Cross References

Exodus 12:14 Summary
This verse, Exodus 12:14, is talking about the day when the Lord passed over the houses of the Israelites and spared their firstborn sons, and it is to be remembered as a special day to honor the Lord. The Israelites were instructed to celebrate this day as a feast to the Lord, and to remember it for all generations to come, as a way of recognizing God's power and provision, just like we remember important events in our own lives (see Deuteronomy 8:2). By remembering this day, we can honor the Lord and pass on the story of His deliverance to future generations, and we can also apply this principle to our own lives, celebrating God's deliverance and provision in our own experiences, as seen in 1 Corinthians 5:7-8.
