21Then 1MosesH4872 calledH7121 for allH3605 the eldersH2205 of IsraelH3478 and saidH559 to them, “GoH4900 and 2takeH3947 for yourselves 3lambsH6629 according to your familiesH4940, and slaughterH7819 4the PassoverH6453 lamb. 22And 5you shall takeH3947 a bunchH92 of hyssopH231 and dipH2881 it in the bloodH1818 whichH834 is in the basinH5592, and 6applyH5060 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 7the LordH3068 will passH5674 throughH5674 to strikeH5062 the EgyptiansH4714; but when He seesH7200 the bloodH1818 on the lintelH4947 and on the twoH8147 doorpostsH4201, the LordH3068 will passH6452 overH5921 the doorH6607 and will 8not allowH5414 the 9destroyerH7843 to comeH935 inH935 to your housesH1004 to strikeH5062 you. 24And 10you shall keepH8104 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 11promisedH1696, you shall keepH8104 thisH2088 12riteH5656. 2613And when your childrenH1121 sayH559 to you, ‘14WhatH4100 does thisH2088 riteH5656 mean to you?’ 27then you shall sayH559, ‘It is a PassoverH6453 sacrificeH2077 to 15the LordH3068 becauseH834 HeH834 passedH6452 overH5921 the housesH1004 of the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 in EgyptH4714 when He struckH5062 the EgyptiansH4714, but 16sparedH5337 our homesH1004.’” 17And the peopleH5971 bowedH6915 lowH6915 and worshipedH2331.

28Then the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 wentH1980 and didH6213 so; justH3512 asH3512 the LordH3068 had commandedH6680 MosesH4872 and AaronH175, soH3651 they didH6213.
