Exodus 12:11-43

11Now you shall eatH398 it in thisH3602 mannerH3602: with your loinsH4975 girdedH2296, your sandalsH5275 on your feetH7272, and your staffH4731 in your handH3027; and you shall eatH398 it in hasteH2649--it is 1the Lord’sH3068 PassoverH6453. 12For 2I will goH5674 throughH5674 the landH776 of EgyptH4714 on that nightH3915, and will strikeH5221 downH5221 allH3605 the firstbornH1060 in the landH776 of EgyptH4714, bothH4480 manH120 and beastH929; and 3against allH3605 the godsH430 of EgyptH4714 I will executeH6213 judgmentsH8201--4I am the LordH3068. 135The bloodH1818 shall be a signH226 for you on the housesH1004 whereH834H8033 you 6live; and when I seeH7200 the bloodH1818 I will passH6452 overH5921 you, and noH3808 plagueH5063 will befallH1961 you 7to destroyH7843 you when I strikeH5221 the landH776 of EgyptH4714.

14‘Now 8thisH2088 dayH3117 will be 9a memorialH2146 to you, and you shall celebrateH2287 it as a feastH2282 to the LordH3068; throughout your generationsH1755 you are to celebrateH2287 it as 1011a permanentH5769 ordinanceH2708. 1512SevenH7651 daysH3117 you shall eatH398 unleavenedH4682 breadH4682, but on the firstH7223 dayH3117 you shall 13removeH7673 leavenH7603 from your housesH1004; for whoeverH3605 eatsH398 anything leavenedH2557 from the firstH7223 dayH3117 untilH5704 the seventhH7637 dayH3117, 14that 15personH5315 shall be cutH3772 offH3772 from IsraelH3478. 1616On the firstH7223 dayH3117 you shall have a holyH6944 assemblyH4744, and another holyH6944 assemblyH4744 on the seventhH7637 dayH3117; noH3808 workH4399 at allH3605 shall be doneH6213 on them, exceptH389 whatH834 must be eatenH398 17by everyH3605 personH5315, that aloneH905 may be 18preparedH6213 by you. 17You shall also observeH8104 19the Feast of UnleavenedH4682 BreadH4682, for on thisH2088 20veryH6106 dayH3117 I broughtH3318 your hostsH6635 out of the landH776 of EgyptH4714; therefore you shall observeH8104 thisH2088 dayH3117 throughout your generationsH1755 as 21a 22permanentH5769 ordinanceH2708. 1823In the firstH7223 month, on the fourteenthH702H6240 dayH3117 of the monthH2320 at eveningH6153, you shall eatH398 unleavenedH4682 breadH4682, untilH5704 the twenty-firstH6242H259 dayH3117 of the monthH2320 at eveningH6153. 1924SevenH7651 daysH3117 there shall be noH3808 leavenH7603 foundH4672 in your housesH1004; for whoeverH3605 eatsH398 whatH4263 is leavenedH4263, that 2526personH5315 shall be cutH3772 offH3772 from the congregationH5712 of IsraelH3478, whether he is an alienH1616 or a nativeH249 of the landH776. 20You shall not eatH398 anythingH3605 leavenedH4263; in allH3605 your dwellingsH4186 you shall eatH398 unleavenedH4682 breadH4682.’”

21Then 27MosesH4872 calledH7121 for allH3605 the eldersH2205 of IsraelH3478 and saidH559 to them, “28GoH4900 and 29takeH3947 for yourselves 30lambsH6629 according to your familiesH4940, and slayH7819 31the PassoverH6453 lamb. 2232You shall takeH3947 a bunchH92 of hyssopH231 and dipH2881 it in the bloodH1818 whichH834 is in the basinH5592, and 33applyH5060 someH4480 of the bloodH1818 that is in the basinH5592 to the lintelH4947 and the twoH8147 doorpostsH4201; and noneH3808H376 of you shall goH3318 outsideH3318 the doorH6607 of his houseH1004 untilH5704 morningH1242. 23For 34the LordH3068 will passH5674 throughH5674 to smiteH5062 the EgyptiansH4714; and when He seesH7200 the bloodH1818 on the lintelH4947 and on the twoH8147 doorpostsH4201, the LordH3068 will passH6452 overH5921 the doorH6607 and will 35not allowH5414 the 36destroyerH7843 to comeH935 in to your housesH1004 to smiteH5062 you. 24And 37you shall observeH8104 thisH2088 eventH1697 as an ordinanceH2706 for you and your childrenH1121 foreverH5704H5769. 25WhenH3588 you enterH935 the landH776 whichH834 the LordH3068 will giveH5414 you, as He has 38promisedH1696, you shall observeH8104 thisH2088 39riteH5656. 2640And when your childrenH1121 sayH559 to you, ‘41WhatH4100 does thisH2088 riteH5656 mean to you?’ 27you shall sayH559, ‘It is a PassoverH6453 sacrificeH2077 to 42the LordH3068 43whoH834 passedH6452 overH5921 the housesH1004 of the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 in EgyptH4714 when He smoteH5062 the EgyptiansH4714, but 44sparedH5337 our homesH1004.’” 45And the peopleH5971 bowedH6915 lowH6915 and worshipedH7812.

28Then the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 wentH1980 and didH6213 so; justH3512 as the LordH3068 had commandedH6680 MosesH4872 and AaronH175, soH3651 they didH6213.

29Now it cameH1961 about at 46midnightH2677H3915 that 47the LordH3068 struckH5221 allH3605 48the firstbornH1060 in the landH776 of EgyptH4714, from the firstbornH1060 of PharaohH6547 who satH3427 on his throneH3678 to the firstbornH1060 of the captiveH7628 whoH834 was in the dungeonH1004H953, and allH3605 the firstbornH1060 of 49cattleH929. 30PharaohH6547 aroseH6965 in the nightH3915, he and allH3605 his servantsH5650 and allH3605 the EgyptiansH4714, and there was 50a greatH1419 cryH6818 in EgyptH4714, for thereH369 was noH369 homeH1004 whereH834H8033 thereH369 was not someone deadH4191. 31Then 51he calledH7121 for MosesH4872 and AaronH175 at nightH3915 and saidH559, “RiseH6965 up, 52getH3318 out from amongH8432 my peopleH5971, bothH1571 you and the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478; and goH1980, 53worshipH5647 the LordH3068, as you have saidH1696. 32TakeH3947 54bothH1571 your flocksH6629 and your herdsH1241, as you have saidH1696, and goH1980, and blessH1288 me alsoH1571.” 3355The EgyptiansH4714 urgedH2388H5921 the peopleH5971, to sendH7971 them out of the landH776 in hasteH4116, for they saidH559, “We will allH3605 be deadH4191.” 34So the peopleH5971 tookH5375 56their doughH1217 beforeH2962 it was leavenedH2556, with their kneadingH4863 bowlsH4863 boundH6887 up in the clothesH8071 on their shouldersH7926.

3557Now the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 had doneH6213 according to the wordH1697 of MosesH4872, for they had requestedH7592 from the EgyptiansH4714 articlesH3627 of silverH3701 and articlesH3627 of goldH2091, and clothingH8071; 36and the LordH3068 had givenH5414 the peopleH5971 favorH2580 in the sightH5869 of the EgyptiansH4714, so that they let them have their requestH7592. Thus they 58plunderedH5337 the EgyptiansH4714.

37Now the 59sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 journeyedH5265 from 60RamesesH7486 to SuccothH5523, about 61sixH8337 hundredH3967 thousandH505 menH1397 on footH7273, asideH905 from childrenH2945. 38A 62mixedH6154 multitudeH7227 alsoH1571 wentH5927 up with them, 63along with flocksH6629 and herdsH1241, a 64veryH3966 largeH3515 numberH3515 of livestockH4735. 39They bakedH644 the doughH1217 whichH834 they had broughtH3318 out of EgyptH4714 into cakesH5692 of unleavenedH4682 breadH4682. For it had not becomeH2556 leavenedH2556, sinceH3588 they were 65drivenH1644 out of EgyptH4714 and couldH3201 not delayH4102, norH1571H3808 had they 66preparedH6213 anyH1571 provisionsH6720 for themselves.

40Now the timeH4186 67that the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 livedH3427 in EgyptH4714 was 68fourH702 hundredH3967 and thirtyH7970 yearsH8141. 41And at the endH7093 of fourH702 hundredH3967 and thirtyH7970 yearsH8141, 69to 70the veryH6106 dayH3117, 71allH3605 the hostsH6635 of the LordH3068 wentH3318 out from the landH776 of EgyptH4714. 4272It is a nightH3915 73to be observedH8107 for the LordH3068 for having broughtH3318 them out from the landH776 of EgyptH4714; thisH2088 nightH3915 is for the LordH3068, 74to be observedH8107 75by allH3605 the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 throughout their generationsH1755.

43The LordH3068 saidH559 to MosesH4872 and AaronH175, “ThisH2088 is the ordinanceH2708 of 76the PassoverH6453: noH3605H3808 7778foreignerH1121H5236 is to eatH398 of it;
