Exodus:12:2-14
Seeker Overlay ON
* "
This month shall be your beginning of months ;
it shall be the first month of the year to you .
*
Speak to all the congregation of Israel ,
saying : "
On the tenth of this month every man shall take for himself a lamb ,
according to the house of his father ,
a lamb for a household .
*
And if the household is too small for the lamb ,
let him and his neighbor next to his house take it according to the number of the persons ;
according to each man '
s need you shall make your count for the lamb .
*
Your lamb shall be without blemish ,
a male of the first year .
You may take it from the sheep or from the goats .
*
Now you shall keep it until the fourteenth day of the same month .
Then the whole assembly of the congregation of Israel shall kill it at twilight .
*
And they shall take some of the blood and put it on the two doorposts and on the lintel of the houses where they eat it .
*
Then they shall eat the flesh on that night ;
roasted in fire ,
with unleavened bread and with bitter herbs they shall eat it .
*
Do not eat it raw ,
nor boiled at all with water ,
but roasted in fire--its head with its legs and its entrails .
*
You shall let none of it remain until morning ,
and what remains of it until morning you shall burn with fire .
*
And thus you shall eat it :
with a belt on your waist ,
your sandals on your feet ,
and your staff in your hand .
So you shall eat it in haste .
It is the LORD '
s Passover .
* "
For I will pass through the land of Egypt on that night ,
and will strike 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 .
*
Now 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 the plague shall not be on you to destroy you when I strike the land of Egypt .
* "
So this day shall be to you a memorial ;
and you shall keep it as a feast to the LORD throughout your generations .
You shall keep it as a feast by an everlasting ordinance .
