• Exod 12:1-9 : 1 And the LORD 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 for you. 3 Speak to all the congregation of Israel, saying, On the tenth day of this month every man shall take for himself a lamb, according to the house of their fathers, a lamb for a household: 4 And if the household is too small for the lamb, let him and his neighbor next to his house take it according to the number of the people; 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: 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 in the evening. 7 And they shall take of the blood and put it on the two side posts and on the upper door post of the houses in which they shall eat it. 8 And they shall eat the flesh that night, roasted with fire, with unleavened bread; and with bitter herbs they shall eat it. 9 Do not eat it raw, nor boiled at all with water, but roasted with fire; its head with its legs, and its entrails. 10 And you shall let nothing of it remain until the morning; and that which remains of it until the morning you shall burn with fire. 11 And thus 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 the LORD's Passover. 12 For I will pass through the land of Egypt this night, and will strike 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 a sign for you on the houses where you are: and when I see the blood, I will pass over you, and the plague shall not be on you to destroy you when I strike the land of Egypt. 14 And this day shall be to you a memorial; and you shall keep it as a feast to the LORD throughout your generations; you shall keep it as a feast by an ordinance forever. 15 Seven days shall you eat unleavened bread; indeed, on the first day you shall remove leaven from your houses: for whoever eats leavened bread from the first day until the seventh day, that soul shall be cut off from Israel. 16 And on the first day there shall be a holy assembly, and on the seventh day there shall be a holy assembly for you; no manner of work shall be done on them, except that which every man must eat, that only may be done by you. 17 And you shall observe the feast of unleavened bread; for on this very day I have brought your armies out of the land of Egypt: therefore, you shall observe this day in 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 no leaven be found in your houses: for whoever eats what is leavened, that soul shall be cut off from the congregation of Israel, whether he is a stranger or native in the land. 20 You shall eat nothing leavened; in all your dwellings you shall eat unleavened bread. 21 Then Moses called for all the elders of Israel, and said to them, 'Select and take lambs for your families, and kill the Passover lamb. 22 And you shall take a bunch of hyssop, 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 strike the Egyptians; and when he sees the blood on the lintel and on the two side posts, the LORD will pass over the door and will not allow the destroyer to come into your houses to strike you. 24 And you shall observe this thing as an ordinance for you and your sons forever. 25 And it shall come to pass, when you come to the land which the LORD will give you, just as He has promised, that you shall keep this service. 26 And it shall come to pass, when your children ask you, 'What do you mean by this service?' 27 That you 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 struck the Egyptians and delivered our houses.' And the people bowed their heads and worshipped. 28 And the children of Israel went away and did so; just as the LORD had commanded Moses and Aaron, so they did. 29 And it came to pass at midnight that the LORD 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 livestock. 30 And Pharaoh rose 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 Then he called for Moses and Aaron by night, and said, 'Rise up, and get out from among my people, both you and the children of Israel; and go, serve the LORD as you have said. 32 Also take your flocks and your herds, as you have said, and be gone; and bless me also.' 33 And the Egyptians urged the people, that they might send them out of the land in haste; for they said, 'We shall all be dead.' 34 And the people took their dough before it was leavened, their kneading bowls being bound in their clothes on their shoulders. 35 And the children of Israel did according to the word of Moses; and they borrowed from the Egyptians articles of silver, and articles of gold, and clothing: 36 And the LORD gave the people favor in the sight of the Egyptians, so that they granted them what they asked. Thus they plundered 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, along with flocks and herds, a very large amount of livestock. 39 And they baked unleavened cakes of the dough which they had brought out of Egypt, for it was not leavened, because they were driven out of Egypt, and could not delay, nor had they prepared provisions for themselves. 40 Now the time that the children of Israel lived 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 the very same 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 solemnly observed for the LORD for bringing them out of the land of Egypt: this is that night of the LORD to be observed by all the children of Israel throughout their generations. 43 And the LORD said to Moses and Aaron, 'This is the ordinance of the Passover: No foreigner shall eat of it; 44 But every man's servant who is bought for money, when you have circumcised him, then he may eat it. 45 A foreigner and a hired servant shall not eat of it. 46 In one house it shall be eaten; you shall not carry any of the flesh outside the house, nor shall you break one of its bones. 47 All the congregation of Israel shall keep it. 48 And when a stranger dwells with you, and wants 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 native to the land: for no uncircumcised person shall eat of it. 49 One law shall be for the native-born and for the stranger who dwells among you. 50 Thus did all the children of Israel; as the LORD commanded Moses and Aaron, so they did. 51 And it came to pass on the very same day, that the LORD brought the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt according to their divisions.
