"Passover has both agricultural and historical significance. Coming at the season of wheat harvest, it is a thanksgiving for the gifts of the earth. Historically, it commemorates the liberation of the Hebrews from slavery in Egypt and their journey to the Promised Land. Passover is celebrated with a ritual dinner called the Seder, a family time in which questions are used to tell children of this historical event: Why is this night different from all other nights? The Last Supper of Jesus and his disciples may have been the Seder meal."

Exodus 4:24

This caught my eye:

24 On the way to Egypt, Moses stopped for the night. There the Lord met him and was about to kill him.
