Exodus 12:3-28

3SpeakH1696 ye unto all the congregationH5712 of IsraelH3478, sayingH559, In the tenth day of this monthH2320 they shall takeH3947 to them every manH376 a lambH7716, according to their fathers’H1 housesH1004, a lambH7716 for a householdH1004: 4and if the householdH1004 beH1961 too littleH4591 for a lambH7716, then shall he and his neighborH7934 next unto his houseH1004 takeH3947 oneH376 according to the number of the soulsH5315; according to every man’sH376 eating ye shall makeH4591 your count for the lambH7716. 5Your lambH3532 shall beH1961 without blemish, a maleH2145 a yearH8141 old: ye shall takeH3947 it from the sheepH7716, or from the goatsH5795: 6and ye shall keepH4931 it until the fourteenth dayH3117 of the same monthH2320; and the whole assemblyH6951 of the congregationH5712 of IsraelH3478 shall kill it at even. 7And they shall takeH3947 of the bloodH1818, and putH5414 it on the twoH8147 side-posts and on the lintelH4947, upon the housesH1004 wherein they shall eatH398 it. 8And they shall eatH398 the fleshH1320 in that nightH3915, roastH6748 with fireH784, and unleavenedH4682 breadH4682; with bitterH4844 herbsH4844 they shall eatH398 it. 9EatH398 not of it raw, nor boiledH1310 at all with waterH4325, but roastH6748 with fireH784; its headH7218 with its legsH3767 and with the inwards thereof. 10And ye shall let nothing of it remainH3498 until the morningH1242; but that which remaineth of it until the morningH1242 ye shall burnH8313 with fireH784. 11And thusH3602 shall ye eatH398 it: with your loinsH4975 girdedH2296, your shoes on your feetH7272, and your staffH4731 in your handH3027; and ye shall eatH398 it in hasteH2649: it is Jehovah’s passoverH6453. 12For I will go through the landH776 of EgyptH4714 in that nightH3915, and will smite all the first-born in the landH776 of EgyptH4714, both manH120 and beast; and against all the godsH430 of EgyptH4714 I will execute judgmentsH8201: I am Jehovah. 13And the bloodH1818 shall beH1961 to you for a token upon the housesH1004 whereH834 ye are: and when I seeH7200 the bloodH1818, I will pass over you, and there shall no plagueH5063 beH1961 upon you to destroy you, when I smite the landH776 of EgyptH4714. 14And this dayH3117 shall beH1961 unto you for a memorialH2146, and ye shall keep it a feastH2282 to Jehovah: throughout your generationsH1755 ye shall keep it a feastH2282 by an ordinance for everH5769.

15SevenH7651 daysH3117 shall ye eatH398 unleavenedH4682 breadH4682; even the firstH7223 dayH3117 ye shall put away leavenH7603 out of your housesH1004: for whosoever eateth leavenedH2557 breadH4682 from the firstH7223 dayH3117 until the seventhH7637 dayH3117, that soulH5315 shall be cutH3772 off from IsraelH3478. 16And in the firstH7223 dayH3117 there shall beH1961 to you a holyH6944 convocationH4744, and in the seventhH7637 dayH3117 a holyH6944 convocationH4744; no manner of workH4399 shall beH1961 done in them, save that which every man must eatH398, that onlyH389 may beH1961 done by you. 17And ye shall observeH8104 the feast of unleavenedH4682 breadH4682; for in this selfsame dayH3117 have I broughtH3318 your hostsH6635 out of the landH776 of EgyptH4714: therefore shall ye observeH8104 this dayH3117 throughout your generationsH1755 by an ordinance for everH5769. 18In the firstH7223 monthH2320, on the fourteenth dayH3117 of the monthH2320 at even, ye shall eatH398 unleavenedH4682 breadH4682, until the oneH259 and twentieth dayH3117 of the monthH2320 at even. 19SevenH7651 daysH3117 shall there be no leavenH7603 foundH4672 in your housesH1004: for whosoever eateth that which is leavenedH2557, that soulH5315 shall be cutH3772 off from the congregationH5712 of IsraelH3478, whether he be a sojournerH1616, or one that is born in the landH776. 20Ye shall eatH398 nothing leavenedH2557; in all your habitations shall ye eatH398 unleavenedH4682 breadH4682.

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.
