14‘Now 31thisH2088 dayH3117 will be 32a memorialH2146 to you, and you shall celebrateH2287 it as a feastH2282 to the LordH3068; throughout your generationsH1755 you are to celebrateH2287 it as 3334a permanentH5769 ordinanceH2708. 1535SevenH7651 daysH3117 you shall eatH398 unleavenedH4682 breadH4682, but on the firstH7223 dayH3117 you shall 36removeH7673 leavenH7603 from your housesH1004; for whoeverH3605 eatsH398 anything leavenedH2557 from the firstH7223 dayH3117 untilH5704 the seventhH7637 dayH3117, 37that 38personH5315 shall be cutH3772 offH3772 from IsraelH3478. 1639On 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 40by everyH3605 personH5315, that aloneH905 may be 41preparedH6213 by you. 17You shall also observeH8104 42the Feast of UnleavenedH4682 BreadH4682, for on thisH2088 43veryH6106 dayH3117 I broughtH3318 your hostsH6635 out of the landH776 of EgyptH4714; therefore you shall observeH8104 thisH2088 dayH3117 throughout your generationsH1755 as 44a 45permanentH5769 ordinanceH2708. 1846In 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. 1947SevenH7651 daysH3117 there shall be noH3808 leavenH7603 foundH4672 in your housesH1004; for whoeverH3605 eatsH398 whatH4263 is leavenedH4263, that 4849personH5315 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 50MosesH4872 calledH7121 for allH3605 the eldersH2205 of IsraelH3478 and saidH559 to them, “51GoH4900 and 52takeH3947 for yourselves 53lambsH6629 according to your familiesH4940, and slayH7819 54the PassoverH6453 lamb. 2255You shall takeH3947 a bunchH92 of hyssopH231 and dipH2881 it in the bloodH1818 whichH834 is in the basinH5592, and 56applyH5060 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 57the 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 58not allowH5414 the 59destroyerH7843 to comeH935 in to your housesH1004 to smiteH5062 you. 24And 60you 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 61promisedH1696, you shall observeH8104 thisH2088 62riteH5656. 2663And when your childrenH1121 sayH559 to you, ‘64WhatH4100 does thisH2088 riteH5656 mean to you?’ 27you shall sayH559, ‘It is a PassoverH6453 sacrificeH2077 to 65the LordH3068 66whoH834 passedH6452 overH5921 the housesH1004 of the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 in EgyptH4714 when He smoteH5062 the EgyptiansH4714, but 67sparedH5337 our homesH1004.’” 68And 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 69midnightH2677H3915 that 70the LordH3068 struckH5221 allH3605 71the 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 72cattleH929. 30PharaohH6547 aroseH6965 in the nightH3915, he and allH3605 his servantsH5650 and allH3605 the EgyptiansH4714, and there was 73a greatH1419 cryH6818 in EgyptH4714, for thereH369 was noH369 homeH1004 whereH834H8033 thereH369 was not someone deadH4191.
