Commentators explain that while the "Passover" and the "Feast of Unleavened Bread" are used interchangeably here, they were technically distinct. The Passover meal occurred on one day (Nisan 14), followed immediately by the seven-day Feast of Unleavened Bread (Nisan 15-21), which commemorated Israel's hasty exodus from Egypt.
