12:1 The
LORD
said
to
Moses
and
Aaron
in
the
land
of
Egypt,
12:2 "This
month
shall
be
for
you
the
beginning
of
months.
It
shall
be
the
first
month
of
the
year
for
you.
12:3 Tell
all
the
congregation
of
Israel
that
on
the
tenth
day
of
this
month
every
man
shall
take
a
lamb
according
to
their
fathers'
houses,
a
lamb
for
a
household.
12:4 And
if
the
household
is
too
small
for
a
lamb,
then
he
and
his
nearest
neighbor
shall
take
according
to
the
number
of
persons;
according
to
what
each
can
eat
you
shall
make
your
count
for
the
lamb.
12:5 Your
lamb
shall
be
without
blemish,
a
male
a
year
old.
You
may
take
it
from
the
sheep
or
from
the
goats,
12:6 and
you
shall
keep
it
until
the
fourteenth
day
of
this
month,
when
the
whole
assembly
of
the
congregation
of
Israel
shall
kill
their
lambs
at
twilight.
12:7 "Then
they
shall
take
some
of
the
blood
and
put
it
on
the
two
doorposts
and
the
lintel
of
the
houses
in
which
they
eat
it.
12:8 They
shall
eat
the
flesh
that
night,
roasted
on
the
fire;
with
unleavened
bread
and
bitter
herbs
they
shall
eat
it.
12:9 Do
not
eat
any
of
it
raw
or
boiled
in
water,
but
roasted,
its
head
with
its
legs
and
its
inner
parts.
12:10 And
you
shall
let
none
of
it
remain
until
the
morning;
anything
that
remains
until
the
morning
you
shall
burn.
12:11 In
this
manner
you
shall
eat
it:
with
your
belt
fastened,
your
sandals
on
your
feet,
and
your
staff
in
your
hand.
And
you
shall
eat
it
in
haste.
It
is
the
LORD's
Passover.
12:12 For
I
will
pass
through
the
land
of
Egypt
that
night,
and
I
will
strike
all
the
firstborn
in
the
land
of
Egypt,
both
man
and
beast;
and
on
all
the
gods
of
Egypt
I
will
execute
judgments:
I
am
the
LORD.
12:13 The
blood
shall
be
a
sign
for
you,
on
the
houses
where
you
are.
And
when
I
see
the
blood,
I
will
pass
over
you,
and
no
plague
will
befall
you
to
destroy
you,
when
I
strike
the
land
of
Egypt.
12:14 "This
day
shall
be
for
you
a
memorial
day,
and
you
shall
keep
it
as
a
feast
to
the
LORD;
throughout
your
generations,
as
a
statute
forever,
you
shall
keep
it
as
a
feast.
12:15 Seven
days
you
shall
eat
unleavened
bread.
On
the
first
day
you
shall
remove
leaven
out
of
your
houses,
for
if
anyone
eats
what
is
leavened,
from
the
first
day
until
the
seventh
day,
that
person
shall
be
cut
off
from
Israel.
12:16 On
the
first
day
you
shall
hold
a
holy
assembly,
and
on
the
seventh
day
a
holy
assembly.
No
work
shall
be
done
on
those
days.
But
what
everyone
needs
to
eat,
that
alone
may
be
prepared
by
you.
12:17 And
you
shall
observe
the
Feast
of
Unleavened
Bread,
for
on
this
very
day
I
brought
your
hosts
out
of
the
land
of
Egypt.
Therefore
you
shall
observe
this
day,
throughout
your
generations,
as
a
statute
forever.
12:18 In
the
first
month,
from
the
fourteenth
day
of
the
month
at
evening,
you
shall
eat
unleavened
bread
until
the
twenty-first
day
of
the
month
at
evening.
12:19 For
seven
days
no
leaven
is
to
be
found
in
your
houses.
If
anyone
eats
what
is
leavened,
that
person
will
be
cut
off
from
the
congregation
of
Israel,
whether
he
is
a
sojourner
or
a
native
of
the
land.
12:20 You
shall
eat
nothing
leavened;
in
all
your
dwelling
places
you
shall
eat
unleavened
bread."
12:21 Then
Moses
called
all
the
elders
of
Israel
and
said
to
them,
"Go
and
select
lambs
for
yourselves
according
to
your
clans,
and
kill
the
Passover
lamb.
12:22 Take
a
bunch
of
hyssop
and
dip
it
in
the
blood
that
is
in
the
basin,
and
touch
the
lintel
and
the
two
doorposts
with
the
blood
that
is
in
the
basin.
None
of
you
shall
go
out
of
the
door
of
his
house
until
the
morning.
12:23 For
the
LORD
will
pass
through
to
strike
the
Egyptians,
and
when
he
sees
the
blood
on
the
lintel
and
on
the
two
doorposts,
the
LORD
will
pass
over
the
door
and
will
not
allow
the
destroyer
to
enter
your
houses
to
strike
you.
12:24 You
shall
observe
this
rite
as
a
statute
for
you
and
for
your
sons
forever.
12:25 And
when
you
come
to
the
land
that
the
LORD
will
give
you,
as
he
has
promised,
you
shall
keep
this
service.
12:26 And
when
your
children
say
to
you,
'What
do
you
mean
by
this
service'
12:27 you
shall
say,
'It
is
the
sacrifice
of
the
LORD's
Passover,
for
he
passed
over
the
houses
of
the
people
of
Israel
in
Egypt,
when
he
struck
the
Egyptians
but
spared
our
houses.'"
And
the
people
bowed
their
heads
and
worshiped.
12:28 Then
the
people
of
Israel
went
and
did
so;
as
the
LORD
had
commanded
Moses
and
Aaron,
so
they
did.
12:29 At
midnight
the
LORD
struck
down
all
the
firstborn
in
the
land
of
Egypt,
from
the
firstborn
of
Pharaoh
who
sat
on
his
throne
to
the
firstborn
of
the
captive
who
was
in
the
dungeon,
and
all
the
firstborn
of
the
livestock.
12:30 And
Pharaoh
rose
up
in
the
night,
he
and
all
his
servants
and
all
the
Egyptians.
And
there
was
a
great
cry
in
Egypt,
for
there
was
not
a
house
where
someone
was
not
dead.
12:31 Then
he
summoned
Moses
and
Aaron
by
night
and
said,
"Up,
go
out
from
among
my
people,
both
you
and
the
people
of
Israel;
and
go,
serve
the
LORD,
as
you
have
said.
12:32 Take
your
flocks
and
your
herds,
as
you
have
said,
and
be
gone,
and
bless
me
also!"
12:33 The
Egyptians
were
urgent
with
the
people
to
send
them
out
of
the
land
in
haste.
For
they
said,
"We
shall
all
be
dead."
12:34 So
the
people
took
their
dough
before
it
was
leavened,
their
kneading
bowls
being
bound
up
in
their
cloaks
on
their
shoulders.
12:35 The
people
of
Israel
had
also
done
as
Moses
told
them,
for
they
had
asked
the
Egyptians
for
silver
and
gold
jewelry
and
for
clothing.
12:36 And
the
LORD
had
given
the
people
favor
in
the
sight
of
the
Egyptians,
so
that
they
let
them
have
what
they
asked.
Thus
they
plundered
the
Egyptians.
12:37 And
the
people
of
Israel
journeyed
from
Rameses
to
Succoth,
about
six
hundred
thousand
men
on
foot,
besides
women
and
children.
12:38 A
mixed
multitude
also
went
up
with
them,
and
very
much
livestock,
both
flocks
and
herds.
12:39 And
they
baked
unleavened
cakes
of
the
dough
that
they
had
brought
out
of
Egypt,
for
it
was
not
leavened,
because
they
were
thrust
out
of
Egypt
and
could
not
wait,
nor
had
they
prepared
any
provisions
for
themselves.
12:40 The
time
that
the
people
of
Israel
lived
in
Egypt
was
430
years.
12:41 At
the
end
of
430
years,
on
that
very
day,
all
the
hosts
of
the
LORD
went
out
from
the
land
of
Egypt.
12:42 It
was
a
night
of
watching
by
the
LORD,
to
bring
them
out
of
the
land
of
Egypt;
so
this
same
night
is
a
night
of
watching
kept
to
the
LORD
by
all
the
people
of
Israel
throughout
their
generations.
12:43 And
the
LORD
said
to
Moses
and
Aaron,
"This
is
the
statute
of
the
Passover:
no
foreigner
shall
eat
of
it,
12:44 but
every
slave
that
is
bought
for
money
may
eat
of
it
after
you
have
circumcised
him.
12:45 No
foreigner
or
hired
servant
may
eat
of
it.
12:46 It
shall
be
eaten
in
one
house;
you
shall
not
take
any
of
the
flesh
outside
the
house,
and
you
shall
not
break
any
of
its
bones.
12:47 All
the
congregation
of
Israel
shall
keep
it.
12:48 If
a
stranger
shall
sojourn
with
you
and
would
keep
the
Passover
to
the
LORD,
let
all
his
males
be
circumcised.
Then
he
may
come
near
and
keep
it;
he
shall
be
as
a
native
of
the
land.
But
no
uncircumcised
person
shall
eat
of
it.
12:49 There
shall
be
one
law
for
the
native
and
for
the
stranger
who
sojourns
among
you."
12:50 All
the
people
of
Israel
did
just
as
the
LORD
commanded
Moses
and
Aaron.
12:51 And
on
that
very
day
the
LORD
brought
the
people
of
Israel
out
of
the
land
of
Egypt
by
their
hosts.
