Exodus 12:25-33

25WhenH3588 you enterH935 the landH776 whichH834 the LordH3068 will giveH5414 you, as He has 1promisedH1696, you shall observeH8104 thisH2088 2riteH5656. 263And when your childrenH1121 sayH559 to you, ‘4WhatH4100 does thisH2088 riteH5656 mean to you?’ 27you shall sayH559, ‘It is a PassoverH6453 sacrificeH2077 to 5the LordH3068 6whoH834 passedH6452 overH5921 the housesH1004 of the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 in EgyptH4714 when He smoteH5062 the EgyptiansH4714, but 7sparedH5337 our homesH1004.’” 8And 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 9midnightH2677H3915 that 10the LordH3068 struckH5221 allH3605 11the 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 12cattleH929. 30PharaohH6547 aroseH6965 in the nightH3915, he and allH3605 his servantsH5650 and allH3605 the EgyptiansH4714, and there was 13a greatH1419 cryH6818 in EgyptH4714, for thereH369 was noH369 homeH1004 whereH834H8033 thereH369 was not someone deadH4191. 31Then 14he calledH7121 for MosesH4872 and AaronH175 at nightH3915 and saidH559, “RiseH6965 up, 15getH3318 out from amongH8432 my peopleH5971, bothH1571 you and the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478; and goH1980, 16worshipH5647 the LordH3068, as you have saidH1696. 32TakeH3947 17bothH1571 your flocksH6629 and your herdsH1241, as you have saidH1696, and goH1980, and blessH1288 me alsoH1571.” 3318The EgyptiansH4714 urgedH2388H5921 the peopleH5971, to sendH7971 them out of the landH776 in hasteH4116, for they saidH559, “We will allH3605 be deadH4191.”
