Exodus 12:40-51

40Now the time that Bnei-Yisrael lived in Egypt was 430 years.

41So it happened at the end of 430 years, to the very day, that all the armies of Adonai went out from the land of Egypt.

42It was a night of watching for Adonai to bring them out of the land of Egypt. This same night is a night of vigil for Adonai, for all Bnei-Yisrael throughout their generations.

43Then Adonai said to Moses and Aaron, “This is the ordinance of the Passover. No foreigner may eat it,

44but every man’s servant that is bought for money, after you have circumcised him, may eat it.

45Nor should a visitor or hired servant eat it.

46It is to be eaten inside a single house. You are not to carry the meat out of the house, nor are you to break any of its bones.

47All the congregation of Israel must keep it.

48But if an outsider dwells with you, who would keep the Passover for Adonai, all his males must be circumcised. Then let him draw near and keep it. He will be like one who is native to the land. But no uncircumcised person may eat from it.

49The same Torah applies to the native as well as the outsider who dwells among you.”

50So all Bnei-Yisrael did so. They did just as Adonai commanded Moses and Aaron.

51It was on that very day that Adonai brought Bnei-Yisrael out of the land of Egypt as armies.
