1
And the LORD[H3068]spake[H559] unto Moses[H4872] and Aaron[H175] in the land[H776] of Egypt[H4714], saying[H559],
2
This month[H2320] shall be unto you the beginning[H7218] of months[H2320]: it shall be the first[H7223]month[H2320] of the year[H8141] to you.
3Speak[H1696] ye unto all the congregation[H5712] of Israel[H3478], saying[H559], In the tenth[H6218] day of this month[H2320] they shall take[H3947] to them every man[H376] a lamb[H7716], according to the house[H1004] of their fathers[H1], a lamb[H7716] for an house[H1004]:
4
And if the household[H1004]be[H1961] too little[H4591] for the lamb[H7716], let him and his neighbour[H7934]next[H7138] unto his house[H1004]take[H3947] it according[H6310] to the number[H4373] of the souls[H5315]; every man[H376]according[H6310] to his eating[H400] shall make your count[H3699] for the lamb[H7716].
5
Your lamb[H7716] shall be without blemish[H8549], a male[H2145] of the first[H1121]year[H8141]: ye shall take[H3947] it out from the sheep[H3532], or from the goats[H5795]:
6
And ye shall keep[H4931] it up until the fourteenth[H702]day[H3117] of the same month[H2320]: and the whole[H3605]assembly[H6951] of the congregation[H5712] of Israel[H3478] shall kill[H7819] it in[H996] the evening[H6153].
7
And they shall take[H3947] of the blood[H1818], and strike[H5414] it on the two[H8147] side posts[H4201] and on the upper door post[H4947] of the houses[H1004], wherein they shall eat[H398] it.
8
And they shall eat[H398] the flesh[H1320] in that night[H3915], roast[H6748] with fire[H784], and unleavened bread[H4682]; and with bitter[H4844] herbs they shall eat[H398] it.
9Eat[H398] not of it raw[H4995], nor sodden[H1310] at all with water[H4325], but roast[H6748] with fire[H784]; his head[H7218] with his legs[H3767], and with the purtenance[H7130] thereof.
10
And ye shall let nothing of it remain[H3498] until the morning[H1242]; and that which remaineth[H3498] of it until the morning[H1242] ye shall burn[H8313] with fire[H784].
11
And thus[H3602] shall ye eat[H398] it; with your loins[H4975]girded[H2296], your shoes[H5275] on your feet[H7272], and your staff[H4731] in your hand[H3027]; and ye shall eat[H398] it in haste[H2649]: it is the LORD'S passover[H6453].
12
For I will pass[H5674] through the land[H776] of Egypt[H4714] this night[H3915], and will smite[H5221] all the firstborn[H1060] in the land[H776] of Egypt[H4714], both man[H120] and beast[H929]; and against all the gods[H430] of Egypt[H4714] I will execute[H6213]judgment[H8201]: I am the LORD[H3068].
13
And the blood[H1818] shall be to you for a token[H226] upon the houses[H1004] where ye are: and when I see[H7200] the blood[H1818], I will pass[H6452] over you, and the plague[H5063] shall not be upon you to destroy[H4889] you, when I smite[H5221] the land[H776] of Egypt[H4714].
14
And this day[H3117] shall be unto you for a memorial[H2146]; and ye shall keep[H2287] it a feast[H2282] to the LORD[H3068] throughout your generations[H1755]; ye shall keep[H2287] it a feast[H2287] by an ordinance[H2708] for ever[H5769].
15Seven[H7651]days[H3117] shall ye eat[H398] unleavened bread[H4682]; even[H389] the first[H7223]day[H3117] ye shall put away[H7673]leaven[H7603] out of your houses[H1004]: for whosoever eateth[H398] leavened bread[H2557] from the first[H7223]day[H3117] until the seventh[H7637]day[H3117], that soul[H5315] shall be cut[H3772] off from Israel[H3478].
16
And in the first[H7223]day[H3117] there shall be an holy[H6944]convocation[H4744], and in the seventh[H7637]day[H3117] there shall be an holy[H6944]convocation[H4744] to you; no manner of work[H4399] shall be done[H6213] in them, save[H389] that which every man[H5315] must eat[H398], that only may be done[H6213] of you.
17
And ye shall observe[H8104] the feast of unleavened bread[H4682]; for in this selfsame[H6106]day[H3117] have I brought[H3318] your armies[H6635] out of the land[H776] of Egypt[H4714]: therefore shall ye observe[H8104] this day[H3117] in your generations[H1755] by an ordinance[H2708] for ever[H5769].
18
In the first[H7223]month[H2320], on the fourteenth[H6240]day[H3117] of the month[H2320] at even[H6153], ye shall eat[H398] unleavened bread[H4682], until the one[H259] and twentieth[H6242]day[H3117] of the month[H2320] at even[H6153].
19Seven[H7651]days[H3117] shall there be no leaven[H7603]found[H4672] in your houses[H1004]: for whosoever eateth[H398] that which is leavened[H2556], even that soul[H5315] shall be cut off[H3772] from the congregation[H5712] of Israel[H3478], whether he be a stranger[H1616], or born[H249] in the land[H776].
20
Ye shall eat[H398] nothing leavened[H2556]; in all your habitations[H4186] shall ye eat[H398] unleavened bread[H4682].
21
Then Moses[H4872]called[H7121] for all the elders[H2205] of Israel[H3478], and said[H559] unto them, Draw out[H4900] and take[H3947] you a lamb[H6629] according to your families[H4940], and kill[H7819] the passover[H6453].
22
And ye shall take[H3947] a bunch[H92] of hyssop[H231], and dip[H2881] it in the blood[H1818] that is in the bason[H5592], and strike[H5060] the lintel[H4947] and the two[H8147] side posts[H4201] with the blood[H1818] that is in the bason[H5592]; and none[H376] of you shall go out[H3318] at the door[H6607] of his house[H1004] until the morning[H1242].
23
For the LORD[H3068] will pass through[H5674] to smite[H5062] the Egyptians[H4714]; and when he seeth[H7200] the blood[H1818] upon the lintel[H4947], and on the two[H8147] side posts[H4201], the LORD[H3068] will pass over[H6452] the door[H6607], and will not suffer[H5414] the destroyer[H7843] to come[H935] in unto your houses[H1004] to smite[H5062] you.
24
And ye shall observe[H8104] this thing[H1697]for[H5704] an ordinance[H2706] to thee and to thy sons[H1121]for[H5704]ever[H5769].
25
And it shall come[H935] to pass, when ye be come[H935] to the land[H776] which the LORD[H3068] will give[H5414] you, according as he hath promised[H1696], that ye shall keep[H8104] this service[H5656].
26
And it shall come to pass, when your children[H1121] shall say[H559] unto you, What mean ye by this service?[H5656]
27
That ye shall say[H559], It is the sacrifice[H2077] of the LORD'S passover[H6453], who passed[H6452] over the houses[H1004] of the children[H1121] of Israel[H3478] in Egypt[H4714], when he smote[H5062] the Egyptians[H4714], and delivered[H5337] our houses[H1004]. And the people[H5971] bowed the head[H6915] and worshipped[H7812].
28
And the children[H1121] of Israel[H3478] went away[H3212], and did[H6213] as the LORD[H3068] had commanded[H6680]Moses[H4872] and Aaron[H175], so did[H6213] they.
29
And it came to pass, that at midnight[H2677] the LORD[H3068]smote[H5221] all the firstborn[H1060] in the land[H776] of Egypt[H4714], from the firstborn[H1060] of Pharaoh[H6547] that sat[H3427] on his throne[H3678] unto the firstborn[H1060] of the captive[H7628] that was in the dungeon[H1004]; and all the firstborn[H1060] of cattle[H929].
30
And Pharaoh[H6547] rose up[H6965] in the night[H3915], he, and all his servants[H5650], and all the Egyptians[H4714]; and there was a great[H1419]cry[H6818] in Egypt[H4714]; for there was not a house[H1004] where there was not one dead[H4191].
31
And he called[H7121] for Moses[H4872] and Aaron[H175] by night[H3915], and said[H559], Rise up[H6965], and get you forth[H3318] from among[H8432] my people[H5971], both ye and the children[H1121] of Israel[H3478]; and go[H3212], serve[H5647] the LORD[H3068], as ye have said[H1696].
32
Also take[H3947] your flocks[H6629] and your herds[H1241], as ye have said[H1696], and be gone[H3212]; and bless[H1288] me also.
33
And the Egyptians[H4714] were urgent[H2388] upon the people[H5971], that they might send[H7971] them out of the land[H776] in haste[H4116]; for they said[H559], We be all dead[H4191] men.
34
And the people[H5971]took[H5375] their dough[H1217] before it was leavened[H2556], their kneadingtroughs[H4863] being bound up[H6887] in their clothes[H8071] upon their shoulders[H7926].
35
And the children[H1121] of Israel[H3478]did[H6213] according to the word[H1697] of Moses[H4872]; and they borrowed[H7592] of the Egyptians[H4714]jewels[H3627] of silver[H3701], and jewels[H3627] of gold[H2091], and raiment[H8071]:
36
And the LORD[H3068]gave[H5414] the people[H5971]favour[H2580] in the sight[H5869] of the Egyptians[H4714], so that they lent[H7592] unto them such things as they required. And they spoiled[H5337] the Egyptians[H4714].
37
And the children[H1121] of Israel[H3478]journeyed[H5265] from Rameses[H7486] to Succoth[H5523], about six[H8337]hundred[H3967]thousand[H505] on foot[H7273] that were men[H1397], beside[H905]children[H2945].
38
And a mixed[H6154]multitude[H7227] went up[H5927] also with them; and flocks[H6629], and herds[H1241], even very[H3966]much[H3515]cattle[H4735].
39
And they baked[H644]unleavened[H4682]cakes[H5692] of the dough[H1217] which they brought forth[H3318]out[H1644] of Egypt[H4714], for it was not leavened[H2556]; because they were thrust out[H1644] of Egypt[H4714], and could[H3201] not tarry[H4102], neither had they prepared[H6213] for themselves any victual[H6720].
40
Now the sojourning[H4186] of the children[H1121] of Israel[H3478], who dwelt[H3427] in Egypt[H4714], was four[H702]hundred[H3967] and thirty[H7970]years[H8141].
41
And it came to pass at the end[H7093] of the four[H702]hundred[H3967] and thirty[H7970]years[H8141], even the selfsame[H6106]day[H3117] it came to pass, that all the hosts[H6635] of the LORD[H3068] went out[H3318] from the land[H776] of Egypt[H4714].
42
It is a night[H3915] to be much observed[H8107] unto the LORD[H3068] for bringing[H3318] them out from the land[H776] of Egypt[H4714]: this is that night[H3915] of the LORD[H3068] to be observed[H8107] of all the children[H1121] of Israel[H3478] in their generations[H1755].
43
And the LORD[H3068]said[H559] unto Moses[H4872] and Aaron[H175], This is the ordinance[H2708] of the passover[H6453]: There shall no stranger[H1121]eat[H398] thereof:
44
But every man's servant[H5650] that is bought[H4736] for money[H3701], when thou hast circumcised[H4135] him, then shall he eat[H398] thereof.
45
A foreigner[H8453] and an hired servant[H7916] shall not eat[H398] thereof.
46
In one[H259]house[H1004] shall it be eaten[H398]; thou shalt not carry forth[H3318] ought of the flesh[H1320]abroad[H2351] out of the house[H1004]; neither shall ye break[H7665] a bone[H6106] thereof.
47
All the congregation[H5712] of Israel[H3478] shall keep[H6213] it.
48
And when a stranger[H1616] shall sojourn[H1481] with thee, and will keep[H6213] the passover[H6453] to the LORD[H3068], let all his males[H2145] be circumcised[H4135], and then let him come near[H7126] and keep[H6213] it; and he shall be as one that is born[H249] in the land[H776]: for no uncircumcised person[H6189] shall eat[H398] thereof.
49One[H259]law[H8451] shall be to him that is homeborn[H249], and unto the stranger[H1616] that sojourneth[H1481]among[H8432] you.
50
Thus did[H6213] all the children[H1121] of Israel[H3478]; as the LORD[H3068]commanded[H6680]Moses[H4872] and Aaron[H175], so did[H6213] they.
51
And it came to pass the selfsame[H6106]day[H3117], that the LORD[H3068] did bring[H3318] the children[H1121] of Israel[H3478] out of the land[H776] of Egypt[H4714] by their armies[H6635].
