Question

I would like your opinion please. For a long time I have been researching the Scriptures to understand what they say about the celebration of the Passover in the time of Moses. It seems to me that there are two traditions, one that says that Passover was celebrated with the killing of the lambs in the afternoon of 14th Nissan and the eating of the Passover meal during the night of 15th Nissan - and the other tradition that says that the lambs were killed at sundown at the beginning of Nissan 14th, so that the whole Passover meal was ate on Nissan 14th. Some books say that the latter tradition was held by the Sadducees and that it agrees with the written Torah, but that the former tradition has been held within the oral Torah. Would you please give me your understanding of this? Thank you for your help.
