Exodus 12:23-30

23For 1the 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 2not allowH5414 the 3destroyerH7843 to comeH935 inH935 to your housesH1004 to strikeH5062 you. 24And 4you 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 5promisedH1696, you shall keepH8104 thisH2088 6riteH5656. 267And when your childrenH1121 sayH559 to you, ‘8WhatH4100 does thisH2088 riteH5656 mean to you?’ 27then you shall sayH559, ‘It is a PassoverH6453 sacrificeH2077 to 9the LordH3068 becauseH834 HeH834 passedH6452 overH5921 the housesH1004 of the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 in EgyptH4714 when He struckH5062 the EgyptiansH4714, but 10sparedH5337 our homesH1004.’” 11And 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.

29Now it cameH1961 aboutH1961 at 12midnightH2677H3915 that 13the LordH3068 struckH5221 allH3605 14the 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 15cattleH929. 30And PharaohH6547 gotH6965 upH6965 in the nightH3915, he and allH3605 his servantsH5650 and allH3605 the EgyptiansH4714, and there was 16a greatH1419 cryH6818 in EgyptH4714, for thereH369 wasH369 noH369 homeH1004 whereH834H8033 thereH369 wasH369 not someone deadH4191.
