Exodus 12:21-30

21Then MosesH4872 calledH7121 for allH3605 the eldersH2205 of IsraelH3478, and saidH559 unto them, DrawH4900 outH413, and takeH3947 youH3605 lambsH6629 accordingH413 to your familiesH4940, and killH7819 the passoverH6453.

22And ye shall takeH3947 a bunchH92 of hyssopH231, and dipH2881 it in the bloodH1818 that is in the bason, and strikeH5060 the lintelH4947 and the twoH8147 side postsH4201 with the bloodH1818 that is in the bason; and noneH3808 of youH859 shall goH3318 outH3318 of the doorH6607 of his houseH1004 untilH5704 the morningH1242.

23For the LORDH3068 will passH5674 throughH5674 to smiteH5062 the EgyptiansH4714; and when he seeth the bloodH1818 uponH5921 the lintelH4947, and on the twoH8147 side postsH4201, the LORDH3068 will passH5674 over the doorH6607, and will notH3808 sufferH1004 the destroyerH7843 to comeH935 in unto your housesH1004 to smiteH5062 youH5414.

24And ye shall observeH8104 this thingH1697 for an ordinanceH2706 to thee and to thy sonsH1121 for everH5769.

25And it shall comeH935 to passH935, when ye be comeH935 to the landH776 whichH834 the LORDH3068 will giveH5414 youH834, accordingH413 as he hath promisedH1696, that ye shall keepH8104 this serviceH5656.

26And it shall comeH1961 to passH1961, when your childrenH1121 shall sayH559 unto youH3588, WhatH4100 mean ye by this serviceH5656?

27that ye shall sayH559, It is the sacrificeH2077 of the LORD’SH3068 passoverH6453, who passed over the housesH1004 of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 in EgyptH4714, when he smoteH5062 the EgyptiansH4714, and deliveredH5337 our housesH1004. And the peopleH5971 bowedH7812 the head and worshipped.

28And the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 went and didH6213 soH3651; as the LORDH3068 had commandedH6680 MosesH4872 and AaronH175, soH3651 didH6213 they.

29And it cameH1961 to passH1961 at midnight, that the LORDH3068 smoteH5221 allH3605 the firstbornH1060 in the landH776 of EgyptH4714, from the firstbornH1060 of PharaohH6547 that satH3427 on his throneH3678 unto the firstbornH1060 of the captive that was in the dungeon; and allH3605 the firstbornH1060 of cattleH929.

30And PharaohH6547 roseH6965 upH6965 in the nightH3915, he, and allH3605 his servantsH5650, and allH3605 the EgyptiansH4714; and there was a greatH1419 cryH6818 in EgyptH4714; for there was notH369 a houseH1004 whereH834 there was notH369 one deadH4191.
