3SpeakH1696 to allH3605 the congregationH5712 of IsraelH3478, sayingH559, ‘On the tenthH6218 of thisH2088 monthH2320 they are, eachH376 oneH376, to takeH3947 a 1lambH7716 for themselves, according to the fathers’H1 householdsH1004, a 2lambH7716 for 3each householdH1004. 4Now ifH518 the householdH1004 isH4591 tooH4480 smallH4591 for a 4lambH7716, then he and his neighborH7934 nearestH7138 to his houseH1004 are to takeH3947 one according to the 5numberH4373 of personsH5315 in them; in proportionH6310 to 6what eachH376 oneH376 should eatH398, you are to 7divideH3699 the lambH7716. 5Your 8lambH7716 shall be 9an unblemishedH8549 maleH2145 a yearH8141 oldH1121; you may takeH3947 it from the sheepH3532 or from the goatsH5795. 610You shall keepH1961H4931 it untilH5704 the 11fourteenthH702H6240 dayH3117 of the sameH2088 monthH2320, then the wholeH3605 assemblyH6951 of the congregationH5712 of IsraelH3478 is to slaughterH7819 it 1213at twilightH6153. 714Moreover, they shall takeH3947 someH4480 of the bloodH1818 and putH5414 it on the twoH8147 doorpostsH4201 and on the lintelH4947 15of the housesH1004 in whichH834 they eatH398 it. 8They shall eatH398 the fleshH1320 16that same nightH3915, 17roastedH6748 with fireH784, and they shall eatH398 it with 18unleavenedH4682 breadH4682 1920and bitterH4844 herbsH4844. 9Do not eatH398 anyH4480 of it rawH4995 or boiledH1311 atH1310 allH1310 with waterH4325, but ratherH3588H518 21roastedH6748 with fireH784, both its headH7218 and its legsH3767 alongH5921 with 22its entrailsH7130. 1023And you shall not leaveH3498 anyH4480 of it overH3498 untilH5704 morningH1242, but whatever is leftH3498 of it untilH5704 morningH1242, you shall completelyH8313 burnH8313 with fireH784. 11Now you shall eatH398 it in thisH3602 wayH3602: with your garment 24beltedH2296 aroundH2296 your waistH4975, your sandalsH5275 on your feetH7272, and your staffH4731 in your handH3027; and you shall eatH398 it in a hurryH2649--it is 25the Lord’sH3068 PassoverH6453. 12For 26I will goH5674 through the landH776 of EgyptH4714 on that nightH3915, and fatallyH5221 strikeH5221 allH3605 the firstbornH1060 in the landH776 of EgyptH4714, from the humanH120 firstborn to animalsH929; and 27against allH3605 the godsH430 of EgyptH4714 I will executeH6213 judgmentsH8201--28I am the LordH3068. 1329The bloodH1818 shall be a signH226 for you on the housesH1004 whereH834H8033 you 30live; and when I seeH7200 the bloodH1818 I will passH6452 overH5921 you, and noH3808 plagueH5063 will comeH1961 upon you 31to destroyH7843 you when I strikeH5221 the landH776 of EgyptH4714.

14‘Now 32thisH2088 dayH3117 shall be 33a memorialH2146 to you, and you shall celebrateH2287 it as a feastH2282 to the LordH3068; throughout your generationsH1755 you are to celebrateH2287 it as 3435a permanentH5769 ordinanceH2708. 15For 36sevenH7651 daysH3117 you shall eatH398 unleavenedH4682 breadH4682, but on the firstH7223 dayH3117 you shall removeH7673 doughH7603 withH7603 yeastH7603 from your housesH1004; for whoeverH3605 eatsH398 anythingH2557 withH2557 yeastH2557 from the firstH7223 dayH3117 untilH5704 the seventhH7637 dayH3117, 37that 38personH5315 shall be cutH3772 offH3772 from IsraelH3478. 16And 39on 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 for whatH834 must be eatenH398 by everyH3605 personH5315--that aloneH905 may be 40preparedH6213 by you. 17You shall also keepH8104 41the Feast of UnleavenedH4682 BreadH4682, for on thisH2088 42veryH6106 dayH3117 I broughtH3318 your 43multitudesH6635 outH3318 of the landH776 of EgyptH4714; therefore you shall keepH8104 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. 19For 47sevenH7651 daysH3117 there shall be noH3808 doughH7603 withH7603 yeastH7603 foundH4672 in your housesH1004; for whoeverH3605 eatsH398 anythingH4263 withH4263 yeastH4263, that 4849personH5315 shall be cutH3772 offH3772 from the congregationH5712 of IsraelH3478, whether he is a strangerH1616 or a nativeH249 of the landH776. 20You shall not eatH398 anythingH3605 with yeastH4263; in allH3605 your dwellingsH4186 you shall eatH398 unleavenedH4682 breadH4682.’”
