*
And ye shall keep it up until the fourteenth day of the same month :
and the whole assembly of the congregation of Israel shall kill it in the evening .
*
And they shall take of the blood ,
and strike it on the two side posts and on the upper door post of the houses ,
wherein they shall eat it .
*
And they shall eat the flesh in that night ,
roast with fire ,
and unleavened bread ;
and with bitter herbs they shall eat it .
*
Eat not of it raw ,
nor sodden at all with water ,
but roast with fire ;
his head with his legs ,
and with the purtenance thereof .
*
And ye shall let nothing of it remain until the morning ;
and that which remaineth of it until the morning ye shall burn with fire .
*
And thus shall ye eat it ;
with your loins girded ,
your shoes on your feet ,
and your staff in your hand ;
and ye shall eat it in haste :
it is the LORD '
S passover .
*
For I will pass through the land of Egypt this night ,
and will smite all the firstborn in the land of Egypt ,
both man and beast ;
and against all the gods of Egypt I will execute judgment :
I am the LORD .
*
And the blood shall be to you for a token upon the houses where ye are :
and when I see the blood ,
I will pass over you ,
and the plague shall not be upon you to destroy you ,
when I smite the land of Egypt .
*
And this day shall be unto you for a memorial ;
and ye shall keep it a feast to the LORD throughout your generations ;
ye shall keep it a feast by an ordinance for ever .
*
Seven days shall ye eat unleavened bread ;
even the first day ye shall put away leaven out of your houses :
for whosoever eateth leavened bread from the first day until the seventh day ,
that soul shall be cut off from Israel .
*
And in the first day there shall be an holy convocation ,
and in the seventh day there shall be an holy convocation to you ;
no manner of work shall be done in them ,
save that which every man must eat ,
that only may be done of you .
*
And ye shall observe the feast of unleavened bread ;
for in this selfsame day have I brought your armies out of the land of Egypt :
therefore shall ye observe this day in your generations by an ordinance for ever .
*
In the first month ,
on the fourteenth day of the month at even ,
ye shall eat unleavened bread ,
until the one and twentieth day of the month at even .
*
Seven days shall there be no leaven found in your houses :
for whosoever eateth that which is leavened ,
even that soul shall be cut off from the congregation of Israel ,
whether he be a stranger ,
or born in the land .
*
Ye shall eat nothing leavened ;
in all your habitations shall ye eat unleavened bread .
*
Then Moses called for all the elders of Israel ,
and said unto them ,
Draw out and take you a lamb according to your families ,
and kill the passover .
*
And ye shall take a bunch of hyssop ,
and dip it in the blood that is in the bason ,
and strike the lintel and the two side posts with the blood that is in the bason ;
and none of you shall go out at the door of his house until the morning .
*
For the LORD will pass through to smite the Egyptians ;
and when he seeth the blood upon the lintel ,
and on the two side posts ,
the LORD will pass over the door ,
and will not suffer the destroyer to come in unto your houses to smite you .
*
And ye shall observe this thing for an ordinance to thee and to thy sons for ever .
*
And it shall come to pass ,
when ye be come to the land which the LORD will give you ,
according as he hath promised ,
that ye shall keep this service .
*
And it shall come to pass ,
when your children shall say unto you ,
What mean ye by this service ?
*
That ye shall say ,
It is the sacrifice of the LORD '
S passover ,
who passed over the houses of the children of Israel in Egypt ,
when he smote the Egyptians ,
and delivered our houses .
And the people bowed the head and worshipped .
*
And the children of Israel went away ,
and did as the LORD had commanded Moses and Aaron ,
so did they .
*
And it came to pass ,
that at midnight the LORD smote all the firstborn in the land of Egypt ,
from the firstborn of Pharaoh that sat on his throne unto the firstborn of the captive that was in the dungeon ;
and all the firstborn of cattle .
*
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 there was not one dead .
*
And he called for Moses and Aaron by night ,
and said ,
Rise up ,
and get you forth from among my people ,
both ye and the children of Israel ;
and go ,
serve the LORD ,
as ye have said .
*
Also take your flocks and your herds ,
as ye have said ,
and be gone ;
and bless me also .
*
And the Egyptians were urgent upon the people ,
that they might send them out of the land in haste ;
for they said ,
We be all dead men .
*
And the people took their dough before it was leavened ,
their kneadingtroughs being bound up in their clothes upon their shoulders .
*
And the children of Israel did according to the word of Moses ;
and they borrowed of the Egyptians jewels of silver ,
and jewels of gold ,
and raiment :
*
And the LORD gave the people favour in the sight of the Egyptians ,
so that they lent unto them such things as they required .
And they spoiled the Egyptians .
