Exodus 12:21-30

21Then MosesH4872 calledH7121 for all the eldersH2205 of IsraelH3478, and saidH559 unto them, DrawH4900 out, and takeH3947 you lambs according to your familiesH4940, and kill the passoverH6453. 22And ye shall takeH3947 a bunch of hyssopH231, and dipH2881 it in the bloodH1818 that is in the basin, and strike the lintelH4947 and the twoH8147 side-posts with the bloodH1818 that is in the basin; and none of you shall goH3318 out of the doorH6607 of his houseH1004 until the morningH1242. 23For Jehovah will passH5674 through to smite the Egyptians; and when he seeth the bloodH1818 upon the lintelH4947, and on the twoH8147 side-posts, Jehovah will passH5674 over the doorH6607, and will not suffer the destroyerH7843 to comeH935 in unto your housesH1004 to smite you. 24And ye shall observeH8104 this thingH1697 for an ordinance to thee and to thy sonsH1121 for everH5769. 25And it shall comeH935 to pass, when ye are comeH935 to the landH776 which Jehovah will giveH5414 you, according as he hath promised, that ye shall keepH8104 this serviceH5656. 26And it shall come to pass, when your children shall sayH559 unto you, What mean ye by this serviceH5656? 27that ye shall sayH559, It is the sacrificeH2077 of Jehovah’s passoverH6453, who passed over the housesH1004 of the children of IsraelH3478 in EgyptH4714, whenH834 he smote the Egyptians, and deliveredH5337 our housesH1004. And the peopleH5971 bowedH7812 the head and worshipped. 28And the children of IsraelH3478 went and did soH3651; as Jehovah had commandedH6680 MosesH4872 and AaronH175, soH3651 did they.

29And it came to pass at midnight, that Jehovah smote all the first-born in the landH776 of EgyptH4714, from the first-born of PharaohH6547 that satH3427 on his throneH3678 unto the first-born of the captive that wasH1961 in the dungeon; and all the first-born of cattleH929. 30And PharaohH6547 roseH6965 up in the nightH3915, he, and all his servantsH5650, and all the Egyptians; and there was a greatH1419 cryH6818 in EgyptH4714; for there was not a houseH1004 whereH834 there was not one deadH4191.
