Exodus 12:21-51

21Then MosesH4872 calledH7121 for all the eldersH2205 of IsraelH3478, and saidH559 unto them, Draw outH4900 and takeH3947 you a lambH6629 according to your familiesH4940, and killH7819 the passoverH6453.1 22And ye shall takeH3947 a bunchH92 of hyssopH231, and dipH2881 it in the bloodH1818 that is in the basonH5592, and strikeH5060 the lintelH4947 and the twoH8147 side postsH4201 with the bloodH1818 that is in the basonH5592; and noneH376 of you shall go outH3318 at the doorH6607 of his houseH1004 until the morningH1242. 23For YhwhH3068 will pass throughH5674 to smiteH5062 the EgyptiansH4714; and when he seethH7200 the bloodH1818 upon the lintelH4947, and on the twoH8147 side postsH4201, YhwhH3068 will pass overH6452 the doorH6607, and will not sufferH5414 the destroyerH7843 to comeH935 in unto your housesH1004 to smiteH5062 you. 24And ye shall observeH8104 this thingH1697 for an ordinanceH2706 to thee and to thy sonsH1121 forH5704 everH5769. 25And it shall come to pass, when ye be comeH935 to the landH776 which YhwhH3068 will giveH5414 you, according as he hath promisedH1696, that ye shall keepH8104 this serviceH5656. 26And it shall come to pass, when your childrenH1121 shall sayH559 unto you, What mean ye by this serviceH5656? 27That ye shall sayH559, It is the sacrificeH2077 of Yhwh’sH3068 passoverH6453, who passedH6452 over the housesH1004 of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 in EgyptH4714, when he smoteH5062 the EgyptiansH4714, and deliveredH5337 our housesH1004. And the peopleH5971 bowed the headH6915 and worshippedH7812. 28And the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 went awayH3212, and didH6213 as YhwhH3068 had commandedH6680 MosesH4872 and AaronH175, so didH6213 they.

29And it came to pass, that at midnightH3915H2677 YhwhH3068 smoteH5221 all the firstbornH1060 in the landH776 of EgyptH4714, from the firstbornH1060 of PharaohH6547 that satH3427 on his throneH3678 unto the firstbornH1060 of the captiveH7628 that was in the dungeonH953H1004; and all the firstbornH1060 of cattleH929.2 30And PharaohH6547 rose upH6965 in the nightH3915, he, and all his servantsH5650, and all the EgyptiansH4714; and there was a greatH1419 cryH6818 in EgyptH4714; for there was not a houseH1004 where there was not one deadH4191.

31And he calledH7121 for MosesH4872 and AaronH175 by nightH3915, and saidH559, Rise upH6965, and get you forthH3318 from amongH8432 my peopleH5971, both ye and the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478; and goH3212, serveH5647 YhwhH3068, as ye have saidH1696. 32Also takeH3947 your flocksH6629 and your herdsH1241, as ye have saidH1696, and be goneH3212; and blessH1288 me also. 33And the EgyptiansH4714 were urgentH2388 upon the peopleH5971, that they might sendH7971 them out of the landH776 in hasteH4116; for they saidH559, We be all deadH4191 men. 34And the peopleH5971 tookH5375 their doughH1217 before it was leavenedH2556, their kneadingtroughsH4863 being bound upH6887 in their clothesH8071 upon their shouldersH7926.3 35And the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 didH6213 according to the wordH1697 of MosesH4872; and they askedH7592 of the EgyptiansH4714 jewelsH3627 of silverH3701, and jewelsH3627 of goldH2091, and raimentH8071: 36And YhwhH3068 gaveH5414 the peopleH5971 favourH2580 in the sightH5869 of the EgyptiansH4714, so that they let them haveH7592 such things as they required. And they spoiledH5337 the EgyptiansH4714.

37And the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 journeyedH5265 from RamesesH7486 to SuccothH5523, about sixH8337 hundredH3967 thousandH505 on footH7273 that were menH1397, besideH905 childrenH2945. 38And a mixedH6154 multitudeH7227 went upH5927 also with them; and flocksH6629, and herdsH1241, even veryH3966 muchH3515 cattleH4735.4 39And they bakedH644 unleavenedH4682 cakesH5692 of the doughH1217 which they brought forthH3318 out of EgyptH4714, for it was not leavenedH2556; because they were thrust outH1644 of EgyptH4714, and couldH3201 not tarryH4102, neither had they preparedH6213 for themselves any victualH6720.

40Now the sojourningH4186 of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, who dweltH3427 in EgyptH4714, was fourH702 hundredH8141H3967 and thirtyH7970 yearsH8141. 41And it came to pass at the endH7093 of the fourH702 hundredH8141H3967 and thirtyH7970 yearsH8141, even the selfsameH6106 dayH3117 it came to pass, that all the armiesH6635 of YhwhH3068 went outH3318 from the landH776 of EgyptH4714. 42It is a nightH3915 to be much observedH8107 unto YhwhH3068 for bringingH3318 them out from the landH776 of EgyptH4714: this is that nightH3915 of YhwhH3068 to be observedH8107 of all the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 in their generationsH1755.5

43And YhwhH3068 saidH559 unto MosesH4872 and AaronH175, This is the ordinanceH2708 of the passoverH6453: There shall no strangerH5236H1121 eatH398 thereof: 44But every man’sH376 servantH5650 that is boughtH4736 for moneyH3701, when thou hast circumcisedH4135 him, then shall he eatH398 thereof. 45A foreignerH8453 and an hired servantH7916 shall not eatH398 thereof. 46In oneH259 houseH1004 shall it be eatenH398; thou shalt not carry forthH3318 ought of the fleshH1320 abroadH2351 out of the houseH1004; neither shall ye breakH7665 a boneH6106 thereof. 47All the congregationH5712 of IsraelH3478 shall keepH6213 it.6 48And when a strangerH1616 shall sojournH1481 with thee, and will keepH6213 the passoverH6453 to YhwhH3068, let all his malesH2145 be circumcisedH4135, and then let him come nearH7126 and keepH6213 it; and he shall be as one that is bornH249 in the landH776: for no uncircumcised personH6189 shall eatH398 thereof. 49OneH259 lawH8451 shall be to him that is homebornH249, and unto the strangerH1616 that sojournethH1481 amongH8432 you. 50Thus didH6213 all the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478; as YhwhH3068 commandedH6680 MosesH4872 and AaronH175, so didH6213 they. 51And it came to pass the selfsameH6106 dayH3117, that YhwhH3068 did bringH3318 the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 out of the landH776 of EgyptH4714 by their armiesH6635.
