Exodus 12:7-13

7They must take some of the blood and put it on the sides and tops of the doorframes of the houses where they will eat the animals.

8The meat must be eaten that same night. It must be roasted over a fire and eaten with bitter herbs and unleavened bread.

9Don’t eat any of it raw or boiled but roast the whole animal over a fire.

10Don’t leave any of it until morning. Anything left over in the morning must be burned up.

11This is how ⌞you should be dressed when⌟ you eat it: with your belt on, your sandals on your feet, and your shepherd’s staff in your hand. You must eat it in a hurry. It is the Lord’s Passover.

12“On that same night I will go throughout Egypt and kill every firstborn male, both human and animal. I will severely punish all the gods of Egypt, ⌞because⌟ I am the Lord.

13But the blood on your houses will be a sign for your protection. When I see the blood, I will pass over you. Nothing will touch or destroy you when I strike Egypt.
