Exodus 12:25-33
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.
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.
