¹ And the LORD spake unto Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt saying,

² This month shall be unto you the beginning of months: it shall be the first month of the year to you.

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:

⁴ And if the household be too little for the lamb, let him and his neighbor 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.

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:

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.

⁷ And they shall take of the blood, and strike it on the two side posts and on the upper door post of the houses, wherein they shall eat it.

⁸ And they shall eat the flesh in that night, roast with fire, and unleavened bread; and with bitter herbs they shall eat it.

⁹ Eat not of it raw, nor sodden at all with water, but roast with fire; his head with his legs, and with the purtenance thereof.

¹⁰ And ye shall let nothing of it remain until the morning; and that which remaineth of it until the morning ye shall burn with fire.

¹¹ And thus shall ye eat it; with your loins girded, your shoes on your feet, and your staff in your hand; and ye shall eat it in haste: it is the LORD's passover.

¹² For 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: I am the LORD.

¹³ And the blood shall be to you for a token upon the houses where ye are: and when I see the blood, I will pass over you, and the plague shall not be upon you to destroy you, when I smite the land of Egypt.

¹⁴ And this day shall be unto you for a memorial; and ye shall keep it a feast to the LORD throughout your generations; ye shall keep it a feast by an ordinance for ever.

¹⁵ Seven days shall ye eat unleavened bread; even the first day ye shall put away leaven out of your houses: for whosoever eateth leavened bread from the first day until the seventh day, that soul shall be cut off from Israel.

¹⁶ And in the first day there shall be an holy convocation, and in the seventh day there shall be an holy convocation to you; no manner of work shall be done in them, save that which every man must eat, that only may be done of you.

¹⁷ And ye shall observe the feast of unleavened bread; for in this selfsame day have I brought your armies out of the land of Egypt: therefore shall ye observe this day in your generations by an ordinance for ever.

¹⁸ In the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month at even, ye shall eat unleavened bread, until the one and twentieth day of the month at even.

¹⁹ Seven days shall there be no leaven found in your houses: for whosoever eateth that which is leavened, even that soul shall be cut off from the congregation of Israel, whether he be a stranger, or born in the land.

²⁰ Ye shall eat nothing leavened; in all your habitations shall ye eat unleavened bread.

²¹ Then Moses called for all the elders of Israel, and said unto them, Draw out and take you a lamb according to your families, and kill the passover.

²² And ye shall take a bunch of hyssop, and dip it in the blood that is in the basin, and strike the lintel and the two side posts with the blood that is in the basin; and none of you shall go out at the door of his house until the morning.

²³ For the LORD will pass through to smite the Egyptians; and when he seeth the blood upon the lintel, and on the two side posts, the LORD will pass over the door, and will not suffer the destroyer to come in unto your houses to smite you.

²⁴ And ye shall observe this thing for an ordinance to thee and to thy sons for ever.

²⁵ And it shall come to pass, when ye be come to the land which the LORD will give you, according as he hath promised, that ye shall keep this service.

²⁶ And it shall come to pass, when your children shall say unto you, What mean ye by this service?

²⁷ That ye shall say, It is the sacrifice of the LORD's passover, who passed over the houses of the children of Israel in Egypt, when he smote the Egyptians, and delivered our houses. And the people bowed the head and worshipped.

²⁸ And the children of Israel went away, and did as the LORD had commanded Moses and Aaron, so did they.

²⁹ And it came to pass, that at midnight the LORD smote all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, from the firstborn of Pharaoh that sat on his throne unto the firstborn of the captive that was in the dungeon; and all the firstborn of cattle.

³⁰ And Pharaoh rose up in the night, he, and 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.

³¹ And he called for Moses and Aaron by night, and said, Rise up, and get you forth from among my people, both ye and the children of Israel; and go, serve the LORD, as ye have said.

³² Also take your flocks and your herds, as ye have said, and be gone; and bless me also.

³³ And the Egyptians were urgent upon the people, that they might send them out of the land in haste; for they said, We be all dead men.

³⁴ And the people took their dough before it was leavened, their kneadingtroughs being bound up in their clothes upon their shoulders.

³⁵ And the children of Israel did according to the word of Moses; and they borrowed of the Egyptians jewels of silver, and jewels of gold, and raiment:

³⁶ And the LORD gave the people favor in the sight of the Egyptians, so that they lent unto them such things as they required. And they spoiled the Egyptians.

³⁷ And the children of Israel journeyed from Rameses to Succoth, about six hundred thousand on foot that were men, beside children.

³⁸ And a mixed multitude went up also with them; and flocks, and herds, even very much cattle.

³⁹ And they baked unleavened cakes of the dough which they brought forth out of Egypt, for it was not leavened; because they were thrust out of Egypt, and could not tarry, neither had they prepared for themselves any victual.

⁴⁰ Now the sojourning of the children of Israel, who dwelt in Egypt, was four hundred and thirty years.

⁴¹ And it came to pass at the end of the four hundred and thirty years, even the selfsame day it came to pass, that all the hosts of the LORD went out from the land of Egypt.

⁴² It is a night to be much observed unto the LORD for bringing them out from the land of Egypt: this is that night of the LORD to be observed of all the children of Israel in their generations.

⁴³ And the LORD said unto Moses and Aaron, This is the ordinance of the passover: There shall no stranger eat thereof:

⁴⁴ But every man's servant that is bought for money, when thou hast circumcised him, then shall he eat thereof.

⁴⁵ A foreigner and an hired servant shall not eat thereof.

⁴⁶ In one house shall it be eaten; thou shalt not carry forth ought of the flesh abroad out of the house; neither shall ye break a bone thereof.

⁴⁷ All the congregation of Israel shall keep it.

⁴⁸ And when a stranger shall sojourn with thee, and will 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: for no uncircumcised person shall eat thereof.

⁴⁹ One law shall be to him that is homeborn, and unto the stranger that sojourneth among you.

⁵⁰ Thus did all the children of Israel; as the LORD commanded Moses and Aaron, so did they.

⁵¹ And it came to pass the selfsame day, that the LORD did bring the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt by their armies.

¹ And the LORD ^H3068 spake ^H559 unto Moses ^H4872 and Aaron ^H175 in the land ^H776 of Egypt, ^H4714 saying, ^H559

² This month ^H2320 shall be unto you the beginning ^H7218 of months: ^H2320 it shall be the first ^H7223 month ^H2320 of the year ^H8141 to you.

³ Speak ^H1696 ye unto all the congregation ^H5712 of Israel, ^H3478 saying, ^H559 In the tenth ^H6218 day of this month ^H2320 they shall take ^H3947 to them every man ^H376 a lamb, ^H7716 according to the house ^H1004 of their fathers, ^H1 a lamb ^H7716 for an house: ^H1004

⁴ And if the household ^H1004 be ^H1961 too little ^H4591 for the lamb, ^H7716 let him and his neighbour ^H7934 next ^H7138 unto his house ^H1004 take ^H3947 it according to the number ^H4373 of the souls; ^H5315 every man ^H376 according ^H6310 to his eating ^H400 shall make your count ^H3699 for the lamb. ^H7716

⁵ Your lamb ^H7716 shall be without blemish, ^H8549 a male ^H2145 of the first ^H1121 year: ^H8141 ye shall take ^H3947 it out from the sheep, ^H3532 or from the goats: ^H5795

⁶ And ye shall keep ^H4931 it up until the fourteenth ^{H702 H6240} day ^H3117 of the same month: ^H2320 and the whole ^H3605 assembly ^H6951 of the congregation ^H5712 of Israel ^H3478 shall kill ^H7819 it in ^H996 the evening. ^H6153

⁷ And they shall take ^H3947 of the blood, ^H1818 and strike ^H5414 it on the two ^H8147 side posts ^H4201 and on the upper door post ^H4947 of the houses, ^H1004 wherein they shall eat ^H398 it.

⁸ And they shall eat ^H398 the flesh ^H1320 in that night, ^H3915 roast ^H6748 with fire, ^H784 and unleavened bread; ^H4682 and with bitter ^H4844 herbs they shall eat ^H398 it.

⁹ Eat ^H398 not of it raw, ^H4995 nor sodden ^{H1310 H1311} at all with water, ^H4325 but roast ^H6748 with fire; ^H784 his head ^H7218 with his legs, ^H3767 and with the purtenance ^H7130 thereof.

¹⁰ And ye shall let nothing of it remain ^H3498 until the morning; ^H1242 and that which remaineth ^H3498 of it until the morning ^H1242 ye shall burn ^H8313 with fire. ^H784

¹¹ And thus ^H3602 shall ye eat ^H398 it; with your loins ^H4975 girded, ^H2296 your shoes ^H5275 on your feet, ^H7272 and your staff ^H4731 in your hand; ^H3027 and ye shall eat ^H398 it in haste: ^H2649 it is the LORD'S ^H3068 passover. ^H6453

¹² For I will pass ^H5674 through the land ^H776 of Egypt ^H4714 this night, ^H3915 and will smite ^H5221 all the firstborn ^H1060 in the land ^H776 of Egypt, ^H4714 both man ^H120 and beast; ^H929 and against all the gods ^H430 of Egypt ^H4714 I will execute ^H6213 judgment: ^H8201 I am the LORD. ^H3068

¹³ And the blood ^H1818 shall be to you for a token ^H226 upon the houses ^H1004 where ye are: and when I see ^H7200 the blood, ^H1818 I will pass ^H6452 over you, and the plague ^H5063 shall not be upon you to destroy ^H4889 you, when I smite ^H5221 the land ^H776 of Egypt. ^H4714

¹⁴ And this day ^H3117 shall be unto you for a memorial; ^H2146 and ye shall keep ^H2287 it a feast ^H2282 to the LORD ^H3068 throughout your generations; ^H1755 ye shall keep it a feast ^H2287 by an ordinance ^H2708 for ever. ^H5769

¹⁵ Seven ^H7651 days ^H3117 shall ye eat ^H398 unleavened bread; ^H4682 even ^H389 the first ^H7223 day ^H3117 ye shall put away ^H7673 leaven ^H7603 out of your houses: ^H1004 for whosoever eateth ^H398 leavened bread ^H2557 from the first ^H7223 day ^H3117 until the seventh ^H7637 day, ^H3117 that soul ^H5315 shall be cut ^H3772 off from Israel. ^H3478

¹⁶ And in the first ^H7223 day ^H3117 there shall be an holy ^H6944 convocation, ^H4744 and in the seventh ^H7637 day ^H3117 there shall be an holy ^H6944 convocation ^H4744 to you; no manner of work ^H4399 shall be done ^H6213 in them, save ^H389 that which every man ^H5315 must eat, ^H398 that only may be done ^H6213 of you.

¹⁷ And ye shall observe ^H8104 the feast of unleavened bread; ^H4682 for in this selfsame ^H6106 day ^H3117 have I brought ^H3318 your armies ^H6635 out of the land ^H776 of Egypt: ^H4714 therefore shall ye observe ^H8104 this day ^H3117 in your generations ^H1755 by an ordinance ^H2708 for ever. ^H5769

¹⁸ In the first ^H7223 month, on the fourteenth ^{H6240 H702} day ^H3117 of the month ^H2320 at even, ^H6153 ye shall eat ^H398 unleavened bread, ^H4682 until the one ^H259 and twentieth ^H6242 day ^H3117 of the month ^H2320 at even. ^H6153

¹⁹ Seven ^H7651 days ^H3117 shall there be no leaven ^H7603 found ^H4672 in your houses: ^H1004 for whosoever eateth ^H398 that which is leavened, ^H2556 even that soul ^H5315 shall be cut off ^H3772 from the congregation ^H5712 of Israel, ^H3478 whether he be a stranger, ^H1616 or born ^H249 in the land. ^H776

²⁰ Ye shall eat ^H398 nothing leavened; ^H2556 in all your habitations ^H4186 shall ye eat ^H398 unleavened bread. ^H4682

²¹ Then Moses ^H4872 called ^H7121 for all the elders ^H2205 of Israel, ^H3478 and said ^H559 unto them, Draw out ^H4900 and take ^H3947 you a lamb ^H6629 according to your families, ^H4940 and kill ^H7819 the passover. ^H6453

²² And ye shall take ^H3947 a bunch ^H92 of hyssop, ^H231 and dip ^H2881 it in the blood ^H1818 that is in the bason, ^H5592 and strike ^H5060 the lintel ^H4947 and the two ^H8147 side posts ^H4201 with the blood ^H1818 that is in the bason; ^H5592 and none ^H376 of you shall go out ^H3318 at the door ^H6607 of his house ^H1004 until the morning. ^H1242

²³ For the LORD ^H3068 will pass through ^H5674 to smite ^H5062 the Egyptians; ^H4714 and when he seeth ^H7200 the blood ^H1818 upon the lintel, ^H4947 and on the two ^H8147 side posts, ^H4201 the LORD ^H3068 will pass over ^H6452 the door, ^H6607 and will not suffer ^H5414 the destroyer ^H7843 to come ^H935 in unto your houses ^H1004 to smite ^H5062 you.

²⁴ And ye shall observe ^H8104 this thing ^H1697 for an ordinance ^H2706 to thee and to thy sons ^H1121 for ^H5704 ever. ^H5769

²⁵ And it shall come to pass, when ye be come ^H935 to the land ^H776 which the LORD ^H3068 will give ^H5414 you, according as he hath promised, ^H1696 that ye shall keep ^H8104 this service. ^H5656

²⁶ And it shall come to pass, when your children ^H1121 shall say ^H559 unto you, What mean ye by this service? ^H5656

²⁷ That ye shall say, ^H559 It is the sacrifice ^H2077 of the LORD'S ^H3068 passover, ^H6453 who passed ^H6452 over the houses ^H1004 of the children ^H1121 of Israel ^H3478 in Egypt, ^H4714 when he smote ^H5062 the Egyptians, ^H4714 and delivered ^H5337 our houses. ^H1004 And the people ^H5971 bowed the head ^H6915 and worshipped. ^H7812

²⁸ And the children ^H1121 of Israel ^H3478 went away, ^H3212 and did ^H6213 as the LORD ^H3068 had commanded ^H6680 Moses ^H4872 and Aaron, ^H175 so did ^H6213 they.

²⁹ And it came to pass, that at midnight ^{H2677 H3915} the LORD ^H3068 smote ^H5221 all the firstborn ^H1060 in the land ^H776 of Egypt, ^H4714 from the firstborn ^H1060 of Pharaoh ^H6547 that sat ^H3427 on his throne ^H3678 unto the firstborn ^H1060 of the captive ^H7628 that was in the dungeon; ^{H1004 H953} and all the firstborn ^H1060 of cattle. ^H929

³⁰ And Pharaoh ^H6547 rose up ^H6965 in the night, ^H3915 he, and all his servants, ^H5650 and all the Egyptians; ^H4714 and there was a great ^H1419 cry ^H6818 in Egypt; ^H4714 for there was not a house ^H1004 where there was not one dead. ^H4191

³¹ And he called ^H7121 for Moses ^H4872 and Aaron ^H175 by night, ^H3915 and said, ^H559 Rise up, ^H6965 and get you forth ^H3318 from among ^H8432 my people, ^H5971 both ye and the children ^H1121 of Israel; ^H3478 and go, ^H3212 serve ^H5647 the LORD, ^H3068 as ye have said. ^H1696

³² Also take ^H3947 your flocks ^H6629 and your herds, ^H1241 as ye have said, ^H1696 and be gone; ^H3212 and bless ^H1288 me also.

³³ And the Egyptians ^H4714 were urgent ^H2388 upon the people, ^H5971 that they might send ^H7971 them out of the land ^H776 in haste; ^H4116 for they said, ^H559 We be all dead ^H4191 men.

³⁴ And the people ^H5971 took ^H5375 their dough ^H1217 before it was leavened, ^H2556 their kneadingtroughs ^H4863 being bound up ^H6887 in their clothes ^H8071 upon their shoulders. ^H7926

³⁵ And the children ^H1121 of Israel ^H3478 did ^H6213 according to the word ^H1697 of Moses; ^H4872 and they borrowed ^H7592 of the Egyptians ^H4714 jewels ^H3627 of silver, ^H3701 and jewels ^H3627 of gold, ^H2091 and raiment: ^H8071

³⁶ And the LORD ^H3068 gave ^H5414 the people ^H5971 favour ^H2580 in the sight ^H5869 of the Egyptians, ^H4714 so that they lent ^H7592 unto them such things as they required. And they spoiled ^H5337 the Egyptians. ^H4714

³⁷ And the children ^H1121 of Israel ^H3478 journeyed ^H5265 from Rameses ^H7486 to Succoth, ^H5523 about six ^H8337 hundred ^H3967 thousand ^H505 on foot ^H7273 that were men, ^H1397 beside ^H905 children. ^H2945

³⁸ And a mixed ^H6154 multitude ^H7227 went up ^H5927 also with them; and flocks, ^H6629 and herds, ^H1241 even very ^H3966 much ^H3515 cattle. ^H4735

³⁹ And they baked ^H644 unleavened ^H4682 cakes ^H5692 of the dough ^H1217 which they brought forth ^H3318 out of Egypt, ^H4714 for it was not leavened; ^H2556 because they were thrust out ^H1644 of Egypt, ^H4714 and could ^H3201 not tarry, ^H4102 neither had they prepared ^H6213 for themselves any victual. ^H6720

⁴⁰ Now the sojourning ^H4186 of the children ^H1121 of Israel, ^H3478 who dwelt ^H3427 in Egypt, ^H4714 was four ^H702 hundred ^{H3967 H8141} and thirty ^H7970 years. ^H8141

⁴¹ And it came to pass at the end ^H7093 of the four ^H702 hundred ^{H3967 H8141} and thirty ^H7970 years, ^H8141 even the selfsame ^H6106 day ^H3117 it came to pass, that all the hosts ^H6635 of the LORD ^H3068 went out ^H3318 from the land ^H776 of Egypt. ^H4714

⁴² It is a night ^H3915 to be much observed ^H8107 unto the LORD ^H3068 for bringing ^H3318 them out from the land ^H776 of Egypt: ^H4714 this is that night ^H3915 of the LORD ^H3068 to be observed ^H8107 of all the children ^H1121 of Israel ^H3478 in their generations. ^H1755

⁴³ And the LORD ^H3068 said ^H559 unto Moses ^H4872 and Aaron, ^H175 This is the ordinance ^H2708 of the passover: ^H6453 There shall no stranger ^{H1121 H5236} eat ^H398 thereof:

⁴⁴ But every man's ^H376 servant ^H5650 that is bought ^H4736 for money, ^H3701 when thou hast circumcised ^H4135 him, then shall he eat ^H398 thereof.

⁴⁵ A foreigner ^H8453 and an hired servant ^H7916 shall not eat ^H398 thereof.

⁴⁶ In one ^H259 house ^H1004 shall it be eaten; ^H398 thou shalt not carry forth ^H3318 ought of the flesh ^H1320 abroad ^H2351 out of the house; ^H1004 neither shall ye break ^H7665 a bone ^H6106 thereof.

⁴⁷ All the congregation ^H5712 of Israel ^H3478 shall keep ^H6213 it.

⁴⁸ And when a stranger ^H1616 shall sojourn ^H1481 with thee, and will keep ^H6213 the passover ^H6453 to the LORD, ^H3068 let all his males ^H2145 be circumcised, ^H4135 and then let him come near ^H7126 and keep ^H6213 it; and he shall be as one that is born ^H249 in the land: ^H776 for no uncircumcised person ^H6189 shall eat ^H398 thereof.

⁴⁹ One ^H259 law ^H8451 shall be to him that is homeborn, ^H249 and unto the stranger ^H1616 that sojourneth ^H1481 among ^H8432 you.

⁵⁰ Thus did ^H6213 all the children ^H1121 of Israel; ^H3478 as the LORD ^H3068 commanded ^H6680 Moses ^H4872 and Aaron, ^H175 so did ^H6213 they.

⁵¹ And it came to pass the selfsame ^H6106 day, ^H3117 that the LORD ^H3068 did bring ^H3318 the children ^H1121 of Israel ^H3478 out of the land ^H776 of Egypt ^H4714 by their armies. ^H6635

---

¹ And Jehovah spake unto Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt, saying,

² This month shall be unto you the beginning of months: it shall be the first month of the year to you.

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 their fathers' houses, a lamb for a household:

⁴ and if the household be too little for a lamb, then shall he and his neighbor next unto his house take one according to the number of the souls; according to every man's eating ye shall make your count for the lamb.

⁵ Your lamb shall be without blemish, a male a year old: ye shall take it from the sheep, or from the goats:

⁶ and ye shall keep it until the fourteenth day of the same month; and the whole assembly of the congregation of Israel shall kill it at even.

⁷ And they shall take of the blood, and put it on the two side-posts and on the lintel, upon the houses wherein they shall eat it.

⁸ And they shall eat the flesh in that night, roast with fire, and unleavened bread; with bitter herbs they shall eat it.

⁹ Eat not of it raw, nor boiled at all with water, but roast with fire; its head with its legs and with the inwards thereof.

¹⁰ And ye shall let nothing of it remain until the morning; but that which remaineth of it until the morning ye shall burn with fire.

¹¹ And thus shall ye eat it: with your loins girded, your shoes on your feet, and your staff in your hand; and ye shall eat it in haste: it is Jehovah's passover.

¹² For I will go through the land of Egypt in that night, and will smite all the first-born in the land of Egypt, both man and beast; and against all the gods of Egypt I will execute judgments: I am Jehovah.

¹³ And the blood shall be to you for a token upon the houses where ye are: and when I see the blood, I will pass over you, and there shall no plague be upon you to destroy you, when I smite the land of Egypt.

¹⁴ And this day shall be unto you for a memorial, and ye shall keep it a feast to Jehovah: throughout your generations ye shall keep it a feast by an ordinance for ever.

¹⁵ Seven days shall ye eat unleavened bread; even the first day ye shall put away leaven out of your houses: for whosoever eateth leavened bread from the first day until the seventh day, that soul shall be cut off from Israel.

¹⁶ And in the first day there shall be to you a holy convocation, and in the seventh day a holy convocation; no manner of work shall be done in them, save that which every man must eat, that only may be done by you.

¹⁷ And ye shall observe the `feast of' unleavened bread; for in this selfsame day have I brought your hosts out of the land of Egypt: therefore shall ye observe this day throughout your generations by an ordinance for ever.

¹⁸ In the first `month', on the fourteenth day of the month at even, ye shall eat unleavened bread, until the one and twentieth day of the month at even.

¹⁹ Seven days shall there be no leaven found in your houses: for whosoever eateth that which is leavened, that soul shall be cut off from the congregation of Israel, whether he be a sojourner, or one that is born in the land.

²⁰ Ye shall eat nothing leavened; in all your habitations shall ye eat unleavened bread.

²¹ Then Moses called for all the elders of Israel, and said unto them, Draw out, and take you lambs according to your families, and kill the passover.

²² And ye shall take a bunch of hyssop, and dip it in the blood that is in the basin, and strike the lintel and the two side-posts with the blood that is in the basin; and none of you shall go out of the door of his house until the morning.

²³ For Jehovah will pass through to smite the Egyptians; and when he seeth the blood upon the lintel, and on the two side-posts, Jehovah will pass over the door, and will not suffer the destroyer to come in unto your houses to smite you.

²⁴ And ye shall observe this thing for an ordinance to thee and to thy sons for ever.

²⁵ And it shall come to pass, when ye are come to the land which Jehovah will give you, according as he hath promised, that ye shall keep this service.

²⁶ And it shall come to pass, when your children shall say unto you, What mean ye by this service?

²⁷ that ye shall say, It is the sacrifice of Jehovah's passover, who passed over the houses of the children of Israel in Egypt, when he smote the Egyptians, and delivered our houses. And the people bowed the head and worshipped.

²⁸ And the children of Israel went and did so; as Jehovah had commanded Moses and Aaron, so did they.

²⁹ And it came to pass at midnight, that Jehovah smote all the first-born in the land of Egypt, from the first-born of Pharaoh that sat on his throne unto the first-born of the captive that was in the dungeon; and all the first-born of cattle.

³⁰ And Pharaoh rose up in the night, he, and 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.

³¹ And he called for Moses and Aaron by night, and said, Rise up, get you forth from among my people, both ye and the children of Israel; and go, serve Jehovah, as ye have said.

³² Take both your flocks and your herds, as ye have said, and be gone; and bless me also.

³³ And the Egyptians were urgent upon the people, to send them out of the land in haste; for they said, We are all dead men.

³⁴ And the people took their dough before it was leavened, their kneading-troughs being bound up in their clothes upon their shoulders.

³⁵ And the children of Israel did according to the word of Moses; and they asked of the Egyptians jewels of silver, and jewels of gold, and raiment.

³⁶ And Jehovah gave the people favor in the sight of the Egyptians, so that they let them have what they asked. And they despoiled the Egyptians.

³⁷ And the children of Israel journeyed from Rameses to Succoth, about six hundred thousand on foot that were men, besides children.

³⁸ And a mixed multitude went up also with them; and flocks, and herds, even very much cattle.

³⁹ And they baked unleavened cakes of the dough which they brought forth out of Egypt; for it was not leavened, because they were thrust out of Egypt, and could not tarry, neither had they prepared for themselves any victuals.

⁴⁰ Now the time that the children of Israel dwelt in Egypt was four hundred and thirty years.

⁴¹ And it came to pass at the end of four hundred and thirty years, even the selfsame day it came to pass, that all the hosts of Jehovah went out from the land of Egypt.

⁴² It is a night to be much observed unto Jehovah for bringing them out from the land of Egypt: this is that night of Jehovah, to be much observed of all the children of Israel throughout their generations.

⁴³ And Jehovah said unto Moses and Aaron, This is the ordinance of the passover: there shall no foreigner eat thereof;

⁴⁴ but every man's servant that is bought for money, when thou hast circumcised him, then shall he eat thereof.

⁴⁵ A sojourner and a hired servant shall not eat thereof.

⁴⁶ In one house shall it be eaten; thou shalt not carry forth aught of the flesh abroad out of the house; neither shall ye break a bone thereof.

⁴⁷ All the congregation of Israel shall keep it.

⁴⁸ And when a stranger shall sojourn with thee, and will keep the passover to Jehovah, 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 thereof.

⁴⁹ One law shall be to him that is home-born, and unto the stranger that sojourneth among you.

⁵⁰ Thus did all the children of Israel; as Jehovah commanded Moses and Aaron, so did they.

⁵¹ And it came to pass the selfsame day, that Jehovah did bring the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt by their hosts.

¹ And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses and unto Aaron, in the land of Egypt, saying,

² `This month `is' to you the chief of months -- it `is' the first to you of the months of the year;

³ speak ye unto all the company of Israel, saying, In the tenth of this month -- they take to them each man a lamb for the house of the fathers, a lamb for a house.

⁴ `(And if the household be too few for a lamb, then hath he taken, he and his neighbour who is near unto his house, for the number of persons, each according to his eating ye do count for the lamb,)

⁵ a lamb, a perfect one, a male, a son of a year, let be to you; from the sheep or from the goats ye do take `it'.

⁶ `And it hath become a charge to you, until the fourteenth day of this month, and the whole assembly of the company of Israel have slaughtered it between the evenings;

⁷ and they have taken of the blood, and have put on the two side-posts, and on the lintel over the houses in which they eat it.

⁸ `And they have eaten the flesh in this night, roast with fire; with unleavened things and bitters they do eat it;

⁹ ye do not eat of it raw, or boiled at all in water, but roast with fire, its head with its legs, and with its inwards;

¹⁰ and ye do not leave of it till morning, and that which is remaining of it till morning with fire ye do burn.

¹¹ `And thus ye do eat it: your loins girded, your sandals on your feet, and your staff in your hand, and ye have eaten it in haste; it is Jehovah's passover,

¹² and I have passed over through the land of Egypt during this night, and have smitten every first-born in the land of Egypt, from man even unto beast, and on all the gods of Egypt I do judgments; I `am' Jehovah.

¹³ `And the blood hath become a sign for you on the houses where ye `are', and I have seen the blood, and have passed over you, and a plague is not on you for destruction in My smiting in the land of Egypt.

¹⁴ `And this day hath become to you a memorial, and ye have kept it a feast to Jehovah to your generations; -- a statute age-during; ye keep it a feast.

¹⁵ Seven days ye eat unleavened things; only -- in the first day ye cause leaven to cease out of your houses; for any one eating anything fermented from the first day till the seventh day, even that person hath been cut off from Israel.

¹⁶ `And in the first day `is' a holy convocation, and in the seventh day ye have a holy convocation; any work is not done in them, only that which is eaten by any person -- it alone is done by you,

¹⁷ and ye have observed the unleavened things, for in this self-same day I have brought out your hosts from the land of Egypt, and ye have observed this day to your generations -- a statute age-during.

¹⁸ `In the first `month', in the fourteenth day of the month, in the evening, ye do eat unleavened things until the one and twentieth day of the month, at evening;

¹⁹ seven days leaven is not found in your houses, for any `one' eating anything fermented -- that person hath been cut off from the company of Israel, among the sojourners or among the natives of the land;

²⁰ anything fermented ye do not eat, in all your dwellings ye do eat unleavened things.'

²¹ And Moses calleth for all the elders of Israel, and saith unto them, `Draw out and take for yourselves `from' the flock, for your families, and slaughter the passover-sacrifice;

²² and ye have taken a bunch of hyssop, and have dipped `it' in the blood which `is' in the basin, and have struck `it' on the lintel, and on the two side-posts, from the blood which `is' in the basin, and ye, ye go not out each from the opening of his house till morning.

²³ `And Jehovah hath passed on to smite the Egyptians, and hath seen the blood on the lintel, and on the two side-posts, and Jehovah hath passed over the opening, and doth not permit the destruction to come into your houses to smite.

²⁴ `And ye have observed this thing, for a statute to thee, and to thy sons -- unto the age;

²⁵ and it hath been, when ye come in unto the land which Jehovah giveth to you, as He hath spoken, that ye have kept this service;

²⁶ and it hath come to pass when your sons say unto you, What `is' this service ye have?

²⁷ that ye have said, A sacrifice of passover it `is' to Jehovah, who passed over the houses of the sons of Israel in Egypt, in His smiting the Egyptians, and our houses He delivered.'

²⁸ And the people bow and do obeisance, and the sons of Israel go and do as Jehovah commanded Moses and Aaron; so have they done.

²⁹ And it cometh to pass, at midnight, that Jehovah hath smitten every first-born in the land of Egypt, from the first-born of Pharaoh who is sitting on his throne, unto the first-born of the captive who `is' in the prison-house, and every first-born of beasts.

³⁰ And Pharaoh riseth by night, he and all his servants, and all the Egyptians, and there is a great cry in Egypt, for there is not a house where there is not `one' dead,

³¹ and he calleth for Moses and for Aaron by night, and saith, `Rise, go out from the midst of my people, both ye and the sons of Israel, and go, serve Jehovah according to your word;

³² both your flock and your herd take ye, as ye have spoken, and go; then ye have blessed also me.'

³³ And the Egyptians are urgent on the people, hasting to send them away out of the land, for they said, `We are all dead;'

³⁴ and the people taketh up its dough before it is fermented, their kneading-troughs `are' bound up in their garments on their shoulder.

³⁵ And the sons of Israel have done according to the word of Moses, and they ask from the Egyptians vessels of silver and vessels of gold, and garments;

³⁶ and Jehovah hath given the grace of the people in the eyes of the Egyptians, and they cause them to ask, and they spoil the Egyptians.

³⁷ And the sons of Israel journey from Rameses to Succoth, about six hundred thousand men on foot, apart from infants;

³⁸ and a great rabble also hath gone up with them, and flock and herd -- very much cattle.

³⁹ And they bake with the dough which they have brought out from Egypt unleavened cakes, for it hath not fermented; for they have been cast out of Egypt, and have not been able to delay, and also provision they have not made for themselves.

⁴⁰ And the dwelling of the sons of Israel which they have dwelt in Egypt `is' four hundred and thirty years;

⁴¹ and it cometh to pass, at the end of four hundred and thirty years -- yea, it cometh to pass in this self-same day -- all the hosts of Jehovah have gone out from the land of Egypt.

⁴² A night of watchings it `is' to Jehovah, to bring them out from the land of Egypt; it `is' this night to Jehovah of watchings to all the sons of Israel to their generations.

⁴³ And Jehovah saith unto Moses and Aaron, `This `is' a statute of the passover; Any son of a stranger doth not eat of it;

⁴⁴ and any man's servant, the purchase of money, when thou hast circumcised him -- then he doth eat of it;

⁴⁵ a settler or hired servant doth not eat of it;

⁴⁶ in one house it is eaten, thou dost not carry out of the house `any' of the flesh without, and a bone ye do not break of it;

⁴⁷ all the company of Israel do keep it.

⁴⁸ `And when a sojourner sojourneth with thee, and hath made a passover to Jehovah, every male of his `is' to be circumcised, and then he doth come near to keep it, and he hath been as a native of the land, but any uncircumcised one doth not eat of it;

⁴⁹ one law is to a native, and to a sojourner who is sojourning in your midst.'

⁵⁰ And all the sons of Israel do as Jehovah commanded Moses and Aaron; so have they done.

⁵¹ And it cometh to pass in this self-same day, Jehovah hath brought out the sons of Israel from the land of Egypt, by their hosts.

---

¹ And Jehovah spoke to Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt, saying,

² This month shall be unto you the beginning of months: it shall be the first month of the year to you.

³ Speak unto all the assembly of Israel, saying, On the tenth of this month let them take themselves each a lamb, for a father's house, a lamb for a house.

⁴ And if the household be too small for a lamb, let him and his neighbour next unto his house take [it] according to the number of the souls; each according to [the measure] of his eating shall ye count for the lamb.

⁵ Your lamb shall be without blemish, a yearling male; ye shall take [it] from the sheep, or from the goats.

⁶ And ye shall keep it until the fourteenth day of this month; and the whole congregation of the assembly of Israel shall kill it between the two evenings.

⁷ And they shall take of the blood, and put [it] on the two door-posts and on the lintel of the houses in which they eat it.

⁸ And they shall eat the flesh in that night, roast with fire, and unleavened bread; with bitter [herbs] shall they eat it.

⁹ Ye shall eat none of it raw, nor boiled at all with water, but roast with fire; its head with its legs and with its in-wards.

¹⁰ And ye shall let none of it remain until the morning; and what remaineth of it until the morning ye shall burn with fire.

¹¹ And thus shall ye eat it: your loins shall be girded, your sandals on your feet, and your staff in your hand; and ye shall eat it in haste; it is Jehovah's passover.

¹² And I will go through the land of Egypt in that night, and smite all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both man and beast; and against all the gods of Egypt I will execute judgment: I am Jehovah.

¹³ And the blood shall be for you as a sign on the houses in which ye are; and when I see the blood, I will pass over you; and the plague shall not be among you for destruction, when I smite the land of Egypt.

¹⁴ And this day shall be unto you for a memorial; and ye shall celebrate it [as] a feast to Jehovah; throughout your generations [as] an ordinance for ever shall ye celebrate it.

¹⁵ Seven days shall ye eat unleavened bread: on the very first day ye shall put away leaven out of your houses; for whoever eateth leavened bread from the first day until the seventh day -- that soul shall be cut off from Israel.

¹⁶ And on the first day ye shall have a holy convocation, and on the seventh day a holy convocation: no manner of work shall be done on them, save what is eaten by every person -- that only shall be done by you.

¹⁷ And ye shall keep the [feast of] unleavened [bread]; for in this same day have I brought your hosts out of the land of Egypt; and ye shall keep this day in your generations [as] an ordinance for ever.

¹⁸ In the first [month], on the fourteenth day of the month, in the evening, ye shall eat unleavened bread until the one and twentieth day of the month in the evening.

¹⁹ Seven days shall there be no leaven found in your houses; for whoever eateth what is leavened -- that soul shall be cut off from the assembly of Israel, whether he be a sojourner, or born in the land.

²⁰ Ye shall eat nothing leavened: in all your dwellings shall ye eat unleavened bread.

²¹ And Moses called all the elders of Israel, and said to them, Seize and take yourselves lambs for your families, and kill the passover.

²² And take a bunch of hyssop, and dip [it] in the blood that is in the bason, and smear the lintel and the two door-posts with the blood that is in the bason; and none of you shall go out of the door of his house until the morning.

²³ And Jehovah will pass through to smite the Egyptians; and when he sees the blood on the lintel, and on the two door-posts, Jehovah will pass over the door, and will not suffer the destroyer to come into your houses to smite [you].

²⁴ And ye shall observe this as an ordinance for thee and for thy sons for ever.

²⁵ And it shall come to pass, when ye are come into the land that Jehovah will give you, as he has promised, that ye shall keep this service.

²⁶ And it shall come to pass, when your children shall say to you, What mean ye by this service?

²⁷ that ye shall say, It is a sacrifice of passover to Jehovah, who passed over the houses of the children of Israel in Egypt when he smote the Egyptians and delivered our houses. And the people bowed their heads and worshipped.

²⁸ And the children of Israel went away, and did as Jehovah had commanded Moses and Aaron; so did they.

²⁹ And it came to pass that at midnight Jehovah smote all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, from the firstborn of Pharaoh who sat on his throne to the firstborn of the captive that was in the dungeon, and all the firstborn of cattle.

³⁰ And Pharaoh rose up in the night, he, and all his bondmen, and all the Egyptians; and there was a great cry in Egypt; for there was not a house in which there was not one dead.

³¹ And he called Moses and Aaron in the night, and said, Rise up, go away from among my people, both ye and the children of Israel; and go, serve Jehovah, as ye have said.

³² Also take your flocks and your herds, as ye have said, and go; and bless me also.

³³ And the Egyptians urged the people, to send them out of the land in haste; for they said, We are all dead [men]!

³⁴ And the people took their dough before it was leavened; their kneading-troughs bound up in their clothes upon their shoulders.

³⁵ And the children of Israel had done according to the word of Moses, and they had asked of the Egyptians utensils of silver, and utensils of gold, and clothing.

³⁶ And Jehovah had given the people favour in the eyes of the Egyptians, and they gave to them; and they spoiled the Egyptians.

³⁷ And the children of Israel journeyed from Rameses to Succoth, about six hundred thousand on foot [that were] men, besides children.

³⁸ And a mixed multitude went up also with them; and flocks and herds -- very much cattle.

³⁹ And they baked the dough that they brought forth out of Egypt into unleavened cakes, for it was not leavened; for they were driven out of Egypt, and could not wait; neither had they prepared for themselves any food.

⁴⁰ And the residence of the children of Israel that they resided in Egypt was four hundred and thirty years.

⁴¹ And it came to pass at the end of the four hundred and thirty years, on that same day it came to pass that all the hosts of Jehovah went out from the land of Egypt.

⁴² It is a night of observance to Jehovah, because of their being brought out from the land of Egypt: that same night is an observance to Jehovah for all the children of Israel in their generations.

⁴³ And Jehovah said to Moses and Aaron, This is the ordinance of the passover: No stranger shall eat of it;

⁴⁴ but every man's bondman that is bought for money -- let him be circumcised: then shall he eat it.

⁴⁵ A settler and a hired servant shall not eat it.

⁴⁶ In one house shall it be eaten; thou shalt not carry forth any of the flesh abroad out of the house; neither shall ye break a bone thereof.

⁴⁷ All the assembly of Israel shall hold it.

⁴⁸ And when a sojourner sojourneth with thee, and would hold the passover to Jehovah, let all his males be circumcised, and then let him come near and hold it; and he shall be as one that is born in the land; but no uncircumcised person shall eat thereof.

⁴⁹ One law shall be for him that is home-born and for the sojourner that sojourneth among you.

⁵⁰ And all the children of Israel did as Jehovah had commanded Moses and Aaron; so did they.

⁵¹ And it came to pass on that same day, [that] Jehovah brought the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt according to their hosts.

---

¹ Yahweh spoke to Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt, saying,

² "This month shall be to you the beginning of months. It shall be the first month of the year to you.

³ Speak to all the congregation of Israel, saying, 'On the tenth day of this month, they shall take to them every man a lamb, according to their fathers' houses, a lamb for a household;

⁴ and if the household be too little for a lamb, then he and his neighbor next to his house shall take one according to the number of the souls; according to what everyone can eat you shall make your count for the lamb.

⁵ Your lamb shall be without blemish, a male a year old. You shall take it from the sheep, or from the goats:

⁶ and you shall keep it until the fourteenth day of the same month; and the whole assembly of the congregation of Israel shall kill it at evening.

⁷ They shall take some of the blood, and put it on the two side-posts and on the lintel, on the houses in which they shall eat it.

⁸ They shall eat the flesh in that night, roasted with fire, and unleavened bread. They shall eat it with bitter herbs.

⁹ Don't eat it raw, nor boiled at all with water, but roasted with fire; with its head, its legs and its inner parts.

¹⁰ You shall let nothing of it remain until the morning; but that which remains of it until the morning you shall burn with fire.

¹¹ This is how you shall eat it: with your loins girded, your shoes on your feet, and your staff in your hand; and you shall eat it in haste: it is Yahweh's Passover.

¹² For I will go through the land of Egypt in that night, and will strike all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both man and animal. Against all the gods of Egypt I will execute judgments: I am Yahweh.

¹³ The blood shall be to you for a token on the houses where you are: and when I see the blood, I will pass over you, and there shall no plague be on you to destroy you, when I strike the land of Egypt.

¹⁴ This day shall be to you for a memorial, and you shall keep it a feast to Yahweh: throughout your generations you shall keep it a feast by an ordinance forever.

¹⁵ Seven days shall you eat unleavened bread; even the first day you shall put away yeast out of your houses, for whoever eats leavened bread from the first day until the seventh day, that soul shall be cut off from Israel.

¹⁶ In the first day there shall be to you a holy convocation, and in the seventh day a holy convocation; no manner of work shall be done in them, except that which every man must eat, that only may be done by you.

¹⁷ You shall observe the feast of unleavened bread; for in this same day have I brought your hosts out of the land of Egypt: therefore shall you observe this day throughout your generations by an ordinance forever.

¹⁸ In the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month at evening, you shall eat unleavened bread, until the twenty first day of the month at evening.

¹⁹ Seven days shall there be no yeast found in your houses, for whoever eats that which is leavened, that soul shall be cut off from the congregation of Israel, whether he be a foreigner, or one who is born in the land.

²⁰ You shall eat nothing leavened. In all your habitations you shall eat unleavened bread.'"

²¹ Then Moses called for all the elders of Israel, and said to them, "Draw out, and take lambs according to your families, and kill the Passover.

²² You shall take a bunch of hyssop, and dip it in the blood that is in the basin, and strike the lintel and the two side-posts with the blood that is in the basin; and none of you shall go out of the door of his house until the morning.

²³ For Yahweh will pass through to strike the Egyptians; and when he sees the blood on the lintel, and on the two side-posts, Yahweh will pass over the door, and will not allow the destroyer to come in to your houses to strike you.

²⁴ You shall observe this thing for an ordinance to you and to your sons forever.

²⁵ It shall happen when you have come to the land which Yahweh will give you, according as he has promised, that you shall keep this service.

²⁶ It will happen, when your children ask you, 'What do you mean by this service?'

²⁷ that you shall say, 'It is the sacrifice of Yahweh's Passover, who passed over the houses of the children of Israel in Egypt, when he struck the Egyptians, and spared our houses.'" The people bowed their heads and worshiped.

²⁸ The children of Israel went and did so; as Yahweh had commanded Moses and Aaron, so they did.

²⁹ It happened at midnight, that Yahweh struck all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, from the firstborn of Pharaoh who sat on his throne to the firstborn of the captive who was in the dungeon; and all the firstborn of cattle.

³⁰ Pharaoh rose up in the night, he, and 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.

³¹ He called for Moses and Aaron by night, and said, "Rise up, get out from among my people, both you and the children of Israel; and go, serve Yahweh, as you have said!

³² Take both your flocks and your herds, as you have said, and be gone; and bless me also!"

³³ The Egyptians were urgent with the people, to send them out of the land in haste, for they said, "We are all dead men."

³⁴ The people took their dough before it was leavened, their kneading-troughs being bound up in their clothes on their shoulders.

³⁵ The children of Israel did according to the word of Moses; and they asked of the Egyptians jewels of silver, and jewels of gold, and clothing.

³⁶ Yahweh gave the people favor in the sight of the Egyptians, so that they let them have what they asked. They despoiled the Egyptians.

³⁷ The children of Israel traveled from Rameses to Succoth, about six hundred thousand on foot who were men, besides children.

³⁸ A mixed multitude went up also with them, with flocks, herds, and even very much cattle.

³⁹ They baked unleavened cakes of the dough which they brought forth out of Egypt; for it wasn't leavened, because they were thrust out of Egypt, and couldn't wait, neither had they prepared for themselves any food.

⁴⁰ Now the time that the children of Israel lived in Egypt was four hundred thirty years.

⁴¹ It happened at the end of four hundred thirty years, even the same day it happened, that all the hosts of Yahweh went out from the land of Egypt.

⁴² It is a night to be much observed to Yahweh for bringing them out from the land of Egypt. This is that night of Yahweh, to be much observed of all the children of Israel throughout their generations.

⁴³ Yahweh said to Moses and Aaron, "This is the ordinance of the Passover. There shall no foreigner eat of it,

⁴⁴ but every man's servant who is bought for money, when you have circumcised him, then shall he eat of it.

⁴⁵ A foreigner and a hired servant shall not eat of it.

⁴⁶ In one house shall it be eaten; you shall not carry forth anything of the flesh abroad out of the house; neither shall you break a bone of it.

⁴⁷ All the congregation of Israel shall keep it.

⁴⁸ When a stranger shall live as a foreigner with you, and will keep the Passover to Yahweh, let all his males be circumcised, and then let him come near and keep it; and he shall be as one who is born in the land: but no uncircumcised person shall eat of it.

⁴⁹ One law shall be to him who is born at home, and to the stranger who lives as a foreigner among you."

⁵⁰ Thus did all the children of Israel. As Yahweh commanded Moses and Aaron, so they did.

⁵¹ It happened the same day, that Yahweh brought the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt by their hosts.

---

¹ And the Lord said to Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt,

² Let this month be to you the first of months, the first month of the year.

³ Say to all the children of Israel when they are come together, In the tenth day of this month every man is to take a lamb, by the number of their fathers' families, a lamb for every family:

⁴ And if the lamb is more than enough for the family, let that family and its nearest neighbour have a lamb between them, taking into account the number of persons and how much food is needed for every man.

⁵ Let your lamb be without a mark, a male in its first year: you may take it from among the sheep or the goats:

⁶ Keep it till the fourteenth day of the same month, when everyone who is of the children of Israel is to put it to death between sundown and dark.

⁷ Then take some of the blood and put it on the two sides of the door and over the door of the house where the meal is to be taken.

⁸ And let your food that night be the flesh of the lamb, cooked with fire in the oven, together with unleavened bread and bitter-tasting plants.

⁹ Do not take it uncooked or cooked with boiling water, but let it be cooked in the oven; its head with its legs and its inside parts.

¹⁰ Do not keep any of it till the morning; anything which is not used is to be burned with fire.

¹¹ And take your meal dressed as if for a journey, with your shoes on your feet and your sticks in your hands: take it quickly: it is the Lord's Passover.

¹² For on that night I will go through the land of Egypt, sending death on every first male child, of man and of beast, and judging all the gods of Egypt: I am the Lord.

¹³ And the blood will be a sign on the houses where you are: when I see the blood I will go over you, and no evil will come on you for your destruction, when my hand is on the land of Egypt.

¹⁴ And this day is to be kept in your memories: you are to keep it as a feast to the Lord through all your generations, as an order for ever.

¹⁵ For seven days let your food be unleavened bread; from the first day no leaven is to be seen in your houses: whoever takes bread with leaven in it, from the first till the seventh day, will be cut off from Israel.

¹⁶ And on the first day there is to be a holy meeting and on the seventh day a holy meeting; no sort of work may be done on those days but only to make ready what is necessary for everyone's food.

¹⁷ So keep the feast of unleavened bread; for on this very day I have taken your armies out of the land of Egypt: this day, then, is to be kept through all your generations by an order for ever.

¹⁸ In the first month, from the evening of the fourteenth day, let your food be unleavened bread till the evening of the twenty-first day of the month.

¹⁹ For seven days no leaven is to be seen in your houses: for whoever takes bread which is leavened will be cut off from the people of Israel, if he is from another country or if he is an Israelite by birth.

²⁰ Take nothing which has leaven in it; wherever you are living let your food be unleavened cakes.

²¹ Then Moses sent for the chiefs of Israel, and said to them, See that lambs are marked out for yourselves and your families, and let the Passover lamb be put to death.

²² And take some hyssop and put it in the blood in the basin, touching the two sides and the top of the doorway with the blood from the basin; and let not one of you go out of his house till the morning.

²³ For the Lord will go through the land, sending death on the Egyptians; and when he sees the blood on the two sides and the top of the door, the Lord will go over your door and will not let death come in for your destruction.

²⁴ And you are to keep this as an order to you and to your sons for ever.

²⁵ And when you come into the land which the Lord will make yours, as he gave his word, you are to keep this act of worship.

²⁶ And when your children say to you, What is the reason of this act of worship?

²⁷ Then you will say, This is the offering of the Lord's Passover; for he went over the houses of the children of Israel in Egypt, when he sent death on the Egyptians, and kept our families safe. And the people gave worship with bent heads.

²⁸ And the children of Israel went and did so; as the Lord had given orders to Moses and Aaron, so they did.

²⁹ And in the middle of the night the Lord sent death on every first male child in the land of Egypt, from the child of Pharaoh on his seat of power to the child of the prisoner in the prison; and the first births of all the cattle.

³⁰ Then Pharaoh got up in the night, he and all his servants and all the Egyptians; and a great cry went up from Egypt; for there was not a house where someone was not dead.

³¹ And he sent for Moses and Aaron by night, and said, Get up and go out from among my people, you and the children of Israel; go and give worship to the Lord as you have said.

³² And take your flocks and your herds as you have said, and be gone; and give me your blessing.

³³ And the Egyptians were forcing the people on, to get them out of the land quickly; for they said, We are all dead men.

³⁴ And the people took their bread-paste before it was leavened, putting their basins in their clothing on their backs.

³⁵ And the children of Israel had done as Moses had said; and they got from the Egyptians ornaments of silver and of gold, and clothing:

³⁶ And the Lord had given the people grace in the eyes of the Egyptians so that they gave them whatever was requested. So they took away all their goods from the Egyptians.

³⁷ And the children of Israel made the journey from Rameses to Succoth; there were about six hundred thousand men on foot, as well as children.

³⁸ And a mixed band of people went with them; and flocks and herds in great numbers.

³⁹ And they made unleavened cakes from the paste which they had taken out of Egypt; it was not leavened, for they had been sent out of Egypt so quickly, that they had no time to make any food ready.

⁴⁰ Now the children of Israel had been living in Egypt for four hundred and thirty years.

⁴¹ And at the end of four hundred and thirty years, to the very day, all the armies of the Lord went out of the land of Egypt.

⁴² It is a watch-night before the Lord who took them out of the land of Egypt: this same night is a watch-night to the Lord for all the children of Israel, through all their generations.

⁴³ And the Lord said to Moses and Aaron, This is the law of the Passover: no man who is not an Israelite is to take of it:

⁴⁴ But every man's servant, whom he has got for money, may take of it, when he has had circumcision.

⁴⁵ A man from a strange country living among you, and a servant working for payment, may not take part in it.

⁴⁶ It is to be taken in one house; not a bit of the flesh is to be taken out of the house, and no bone of it may be broken.

⁴⁷ All Israel is to keep the feast.

⁴⁸ And if a man from another country is living with you, and has a desire to keep the Passover to the Lord, let all the males of his family undergo circumcision, and then let him come near and keep it; for he will then be as one of your people; but no one without circumcision may keep it.

⁴⁹ The law is the same for him who is an Israelite by birth and for the man from a strange country who is living with you.

⁵⁰ So the children of Israel did as the Lord gave orders to Moses and Aaron.

⁵¹ And on that very day the Lord took the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt by their armies.
