Exodus 12:29-34

29NowH1961 at midnightH2677H3915 the LORDH3068 struck downH5221 everyH3605 firstbornH1060 male in the landH776 of EgyptH4714, from the firstbornH1060 of PharaohH6547, who satH3427 onH5921 his throneH3678, toH5704 the firstbornH1060 of the prisonerH7628 in the dungeonH1004H953, as well as allH3605 the firstbornH1060 among the livestockH929.

30During the nightH3915 PharaohH6547 got upH6965—heH1931 and allH3605 his officialsH5650 and allH3605H4714 the EgyptiansH4714—and there wasH1961 loudH1419 wailingH6818 in EgyptH3588; for there was noH369 houseH1004 withoutH369H8033 someone deadH4191.

31Then Pharaoh summonedH7121 MosesH4872 and AaronH175 by nightH3915 and saidH559, “Get upH6965, leaveH3318H8432 my peopleH5971, bothH1571 youH859 andH1571 the IsraelitesH1121H3478! GoH1980, worshipH5647 the LORDH3068 as you have requestedH1696. 32TakeH3947 your flocksH6629 andH1571 herdsH1241 as wellH1571, just asH834 you have saidH1696, and departH1980! And blessH1288 meH853 alsoH1571.”

33And in order to send themH7971 out ofH4480 the landH776 quicklyH4116, the EgyptiansH4714H5921 urgedH2388 the people onH5971. “ForH3588 otherwise,” they saidH559, “we are allH3605 going to dieH4191!” 34So the peopleH5971 tookH5375 their doughH1217 beforeH2962 it was leavenedH2556, carrying it onH5921 their shouldersH7926 in kneading bowlsH4863 wrappedH6887 in clothingH8071.
