you are to observe the Passover

on Ezekiel 45:21-25

The calendar closes with two pilgrim feasts, the Passover and the feast of the seventh month. Each lasts seven days, with the prince's own sin offering “for himself and for all the people of the land.” Gill notes the vision restores the appointed times the law already named.
