Pesach (Passover) and the feast of unleavened bread
Pesach was established with the ten plagues when Israel was removed from Egypt.
According to Lev 23:7, the 15th and 21st day are holy feast days and no work can be done. This is repeated here.
Establishment of Pesach (Exodus from Egypt) - Exodus 12
(Exo 12:1) And the LORD spake unto Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt, saying,
(Exo 12:2) This month shall be unto you the beginning of months: it shall be the first month of the year to you.
(Exo 12:2) This month shall be unto you the beginning of months: it shall be the first month of the year to you.

(Exo 12:3) Speak ye unto all the congregation of Israel, saying, In the tenth day of this month they shall take to them every man a lamb, according to the house of their fathers, a lamb for an house:
(Exo 12:4) And if the household be too little for the lamb, let him and his neighbour next unto his house take it according to the number of the souls; every man according to his eating shall make your count for the lamb.
(Exo 12:5) Your lamb shall be without blemish, a male of the first year: ye shall take it out from the sheep, or from the goats:
(Exo 12:6) And ye shall keep it up until the fourteenth day of the same month: and the whole assembly of the congregation of Israel shall kill it in the evening.
