Context of Exodus 12:50
48“Foreigners may want to celebrate the Lord’s Passover. First, every male in the household must be circumcised. Then they may celebrate the Passover like native-born Israelites. But no uncircumcised males may ever eat the Passover meal. 49The same instructions apply to native-born Israelites as well as foreigners.” All the Israelites did as the Lord had commanded Moses and Aaron. 51That very day the Lord brought all the Israelites out of Egypt in organized family groups.
