Exodus 12:23-30
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 cattleH929.1 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.
