Exodus 12
12THE LORD said to Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt,H3068H559H4872H175H776H4714H5592This month shall be to you the beginning of months, the first month of the year to you.H2320H7218H2320H7223H2320H81413Tell all the congregation of Israel, On the tenth day of this month they shall take every man a lamb {or} kid, according to [the size of] the family of which he is the father, a lamb {or} kid for each house.H1696H5712H3478H559H6218H2320H3947H376H7716H1004H1H7716H10044And if the household is too small to consume the lamb, let him and his next door neighbor take it according to the number of persons, every man according to what each can eat shall make your count for the lamb.H1004H1961H4591H7716H7934H7138H1004H3947H4373H5315H376H6310H400H3699H77165Your lamb {or} kid shall be without blemish, a male of the first year; you shall take it from the sheep or the goats.H7716H8549H2145H1121H8141H3947H3532H57956And you shall keep it until the fourteenth day of the same month; and the whole assembly of the congregation of Israel shall [each] kill [his] lamb in the evening.H4931H702H6240H3117H2320H3605H6951H5712H3478H7819H996H61537They shall take of the blood and put it on the two side posts and on the lintel [above the door space] of the houses in which they shall eat [the Passover lamb].H3947H1818H5414H8147H4201H4947H1004H3988They shall eat the flesh that night roasted; with unleavened bread and bitter herbs they shall eat it.H398H1320H3915H6748H784H4682H4844H3989Eat not of it raw nor boiled at all with water, but roasted--its head, its legs, and its inner parts.H398H4995H1310H1311H4325H6748H784H7218H3767H713010You shall let nothing of the meat remain until the morning; and the bones {and} unedible bits which remain of it until morning you shall burn with fire.H3498H1242H3498H1242H8313H78411And you shall eat it thus: [as fully prepared for a journey] your loins girded, your shoes on your feet, and your staff in your hand; and you shall eat it in haste. It is the Lord's Passover.H3602H398H4975H2296H5275H7272H4731H3027H398H2649H3068H645312For I will pass through the land of Egypt this night and will smite all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both man and beast; and against all the gods of Egypt I will execute judgment [proving their helplessness]. I am the Lord.H5674H776H4714H3915H5221H1060H776H4714H120H929H430H4714H6213H8201H306813The blood shall be for a token {or} sign to you upon [the doorposts of] the houses where you are, [that] when I see the blood, I will pass over you, and no plague shall be upon you to destroy you when I smite the land of Egypt.H1818H226H1004H7200H1818H6452H5063H4889H5221H776H471414And this day shall be to you for a memorial. You shall keep it as a feast to the Lord throughout your generations, keep it as an ordinance forever.H3117H2146H2287H2282H3068H1755H2287H2708H576915[In celebration of the Passover in future years] seven days shall you eat unleavened bread; even the first day you shall put away leaven [symbolic of corruption] out of your houses; for whoever eats leavened bread from the first day until the seventh day, that person shall be cut off from Israel.H7651H3117H398H4682H389H7223H3117H7673H7603H1004H398H2557H7223H3117H7637H3117H5315H3772H347816On the first day you shall hold a solemn {and} holy assembly, and on the seventh day there shall be a solemn {and} holy assembly; no kind of work shall be done in them, save [preparation of] that which every person must eat--that only may be done by you.H7223H3117H6944H4744H7637H3117H6944H4744H4399H6213H389H5315H398H621317And you shall observe the Feast of Unleavened Bread, for on this very day have I brought your hosts out of the land of Egypt; therefore shall you observe this day throughout your generations as an ordinance forever.H8104H4682H6106H3117H3318H6635H776H4714H8104H3117H1755H2708H576918In the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month at evening, you shall eat unleavened bread [and continue] until the twenty-first day of the month at evening.H7223H6240H702H3117H2320H6153H398H4682H259H6242H3117H2320H615319Seven days no leaven [symbolic of corruption] shall be found in your houses; whoever eats what is leavened shall be excluded from the congregation of Israel, whether a stranger or native-born.H7651H3117H7603H4672H1004H398H2556H5315H3772H5712H3478H1616H249H77620You shall eat nothing leavened; in all your dwellings you shall eat unleavened bread [during that week].H398H2556H4186H398H468221Then Moses called for all the elders of Israel, and said to them, Go forth, select and take a lamb according to your families and kill the Passover [lamb].H4872H7121H2205H3478H559H4900H3947H6629H4940H7819H645322And you shall take a bunch of hyssop, dip it in the blood in the basin, and touch the lintel above the door and the two side posts with the blood; and none of you shall go out of his house until morning.H3947H92H231H2881H1818H5592H5060H4947H8147H4201H1818H5592H376H3318H6607H1004H124223For the Lord will pass through to slay the Egyptians; and when He sees the blood upon the lintel and the two side posts, the Lord will pass over the door and will not allow the destroyer to come into your houses to slay you.H3068H5674H5062H4714H7200H1818H4947H8147H4201H3068H6452H6607H5414H7843H935H1004H506224You shall observe this rite for an ordinance to you and to your sons forever.H8104H1697H2706H1121H5704H576925When you come to the land which the Lord will give you, as He has promised, you shall keep this service.H935H776H3068H5414H1696H8104H565626When your children shall say to you, What do you mean by this service?H1121H559H565627You shall say, It is the sacrifice of the Lord's Passover, for He passed over the houses of the Israelites in Egypt when He slew the Egyptians but spared our houses. And the people bowed their heads and worshiped.H559H2077H3068H6453H6452H1004H1121H3478H4714H5062H4714H5337H1004H5971H6915H781228The Israelites went and, as the Lord had commanded Moses and Aaron, so they did.H1121H3478H3212H6213H3068H6680H4872H175H621329At midnight the Lord slew every firstborn in the land of Egypt, from the firstborn of Pharaoh who sat on his throne to the firstborn of the prisoner in the dungeon, and all the firstborn of the livestock.H2677H3915H3068H5221H1060H776H4714H1060H6547H3427H3678H1060H7628H1004H953H1060H92930Pharaoh rose up in the night, he, all his servants, and all the Egyptians; and there was a great cry in Egypt, for there was not a house where there was not one dead.H6547H6965H3915H5650H4714H1419H6818H4714H1004H419131He called for Moses and Aaron by night, and said, Rise up, get out from among my people, both you and the Israelites; and go, serve the Lord, as you said.H7121H4872H175H3915H559H6965H3318H8432H5971H1121H3478H3212H5647H3068H169632Also take your flocks and your herds, as you have said, and be gone! And [ask your God to] bless me also.H3947H6629H1241H1696H3212H128833The Egyptians were urgent with the people to depart, that they might send them out of the land in haste; for they said, We are all dead men.H4714H2388H5971H7971H776H4116H559H419134The people took their dough before it was leavened, their kneading bowls being bound up in their clothes on their shoulders.H5971H5375H1217H2556H4863H6887H8071H792635The Israelites did according to the word of Moses; and they [urgently] asked of the Egyptians jewels of silver and of gold, and clothing.H1121H3478H6213H1697H4872H7592H4714H3627H3701H3627H2091H807136The Lord gave the people favor in the sight of the Egyptians, so that they gave them what they asked. And they stripped the Egyptians [of those things].H3068H5414H5971H2580H5869H4714H7592H5337H471437The Israelites journeyed from Rameses to Succoth, about 600,000 men on foot, besides women and children.H1121H3478H5265H7486H5523H8337H3967H505H7273H1397H905H294538And a mixed multitude went also with them, and very much livestock, both flocks and herds.H6154H7227H5927H6629H1241H3966H3515H473539They baked unleavened cakes of the dough which they brought from Egypt; it was not leavened because they were driven from Egypt and could not delay, nor had they prepared for themselves any food.H644H4682H5692H1217H3318H4714H2556H1644H4714H3201H4102H6213H672040Now the time the Israelites dwelt in Egypt was 430 years.H4186H1121H3478H3427H4714H702H3967H8141H7970H814141At the end of the 430 years, even that very day, all the hosts of the Lord went out of Egypt.H7093H702H3967H8141H7970H8141H6106H3117H6635H3068H3318H776H471442It was a night of watching unto the Lord {and} to be much observed for bringing them out of Egypt; this same night of watching unto the Lord is to be observed by all the Israelites throughout their generations.H3915H8107H3068H3318H776H4714H3915H3068H8107H1121H3478H175543The Lord said to Moses and Aaron, This is the ordinance of the Passover: No foreigner shall eat of it;H3068H559H4872H175H2708H6453H1121H5236H39844But every man's servant who is bought for money, when you have circumcised him, then may he eat of it.H376H5650H4736H3701H4135H39845A foreigner or hired servant shall not eat of it.H8453H7916H39846In one house shall it be eaten [by one company]; you shall not carry any of the flesh outside the house; neither shall you break a bone of it.H259H1004H398H3318H1320H2351H1004H7665H610647All the congregation of Israel shall keep it.H5712H3478H621348When a stranger sojourning with you wishes to keep the Passover to the Lord, let all his males be circumcised, and then let him come near and keep it; and he shall be as one that is born in the land. But no uncircumcised person shall eat of it.H1616H1481H6213H6453H3068H2145H4135H7126H6213H249H776H6189H39849There shall be one law for the native-born and for the stranger or foreigner who sojourns among you.H259H8451H249H1616H1481H843250Thus did all the Israelites; as the Lord commanded Moses and Aaron, so did they.H6213H1121H3478H3068H6680H4872H175H621351And on that very day the Lord brought the Israelites out of the land of Egypt by their hosts.H6106H3117H3068H3318H1121H3478H776H4714H6635
