Exodus 12:40-51

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

41At the end of the four hundred and thirty years, to that very day, all the hosts of the Lord [gathered into tribal armies] left the land of Egypt.

42It is a night of watching to be observed for the Lord for having brought them out of the land of Egypt; this [same] night is for the Lord, to be observed and celebrated by all the Israelites throughout their generations.

43The Lord said to Moses and Aaron, “This is the ordinance of the Passover: no foreigner is to eat it;

44but every man’s slave who is bought with money, after you have circumcised him, then he may eat it.

45No stranger (temporary resident, foreigner) or hired servant shall eat it.

46It is to be eaten inside one house; you shall not take any of the meat outside the house, nor shall you break any of its bones.

47The entire congregation of Israel shall keep and celebrate it.

48If a stranger living temporarily among you wishes to celebrate the Passover to the Lord, all his males must be circumcised, and then he may participate and celebrate it like one that is born in the land. But no uncircumcised person may eat it.

49The same law shall apply to the native-born and to the stranger who lives temporarily among you.”

50Then all the Israelites did so; they did just as the Lord had commanded Moses and Aaron.

51And on that very same day the Lord brought the Israelites out of the land of Egypt by their hosts (tribal armies).
