The passover feast commemorates the time when the LORD killed the first born of every Egyptian house but passed over the houses of the children of Israel.

Moses was instructed to tell the children of Israel to kill a lamb and to paint some blood of the lamb on the door posts of their houses.

Exo 12:12 'For I will pass through the land of Egypt on that night, and will strike all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both man and beast; and against all the gods of Egypt I will execute judgment: I am the LORD.
Exo 12:13 Now the blood shall be a sign for you on the houses where you are. And when I see the blood, I will pass over you; and the plague shall not be on you to destroy you when I strike the land of Egypt.

The Passover in the Old Testament was a Jewish festival commemorating the Israelites' liberation from Egypt. It involved sacrificing a lamb and marking doorposts with its blood to protect them from the final plague. It is an important event that is still celebrated by Jewish people today.
