1And Yehovah spoke to Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt, saying, 2This month shall be to you the beginning of months: it shall be the first month of the year to you. 3Speak to all the congregation of Israel, saying, On the tenth day of this month they shall take for themselves every man a lamb, according to their fathers’ houses, a lamb for a household: 4and if the household is too small for a lamb, then he and his neighbor next to his house shall take one according to the number of the souls; according to every man’s eating you shall make your count for the lamb. 5Your lamb shall be without blemish, a male a year old: you shall take it from the sheep, or from the goats: 6and you shall keep it until the fourteenth day of the same month; and the whole assembly of the congregation of Israel shall kill it at evening. 7And they shall take of the blood, and put it on the two side-posts and on the lintel, upon the houses in which they shall eat it. 8And they shall eat the flesh in that night, roasted with fire, and unleavened bread; with bitter herbs they shall eat it. 9Do not eat any of it raw, nor boiled at all with water, but roasted with fire; its head with its legs and with its inner parts. 10And you shall let nothing of it remain until the morning; but what remains of it until the morning you shall burn with fire. 11And thus you shall eat it: with your loins girded, your shoes on your feet, and your staff in your hand; and you shall eat it in haste: it is Yehovah’s passover. 12For I will go through the land of Egypt in that night, and will strike all the first-born in the land of Egypt, both man and beast; and against all the gods of Egypt I will execute judgments: I am Yehovah. 13And the blood shall be to you for a token upon the houses where you are: and when I see the blood, I will pass over you, and no plague shall be upon you to destroy you, when I strike the land of Egypt. 14And this day shall be to you for a memorial, and you shall keep it a feast to Yehovah: throughout your generations you shall keep it a feast by an ordinance forever. 15Seven days you shall eat unleavened bread; even the first day you shall put away leaven out of your houses: for whoever eats leavened bread from the first day until the seventh day, that soul shall be cut off from Israel. 16And on the first day there shall be to you a holy convocation, and on the seventh day a holy convocation; no kind of work shall be done in them, except what every man must eat, that only may be done by you. 17And you shall observe the feast of unleavened bread; for on this very day I have brought your hosts out of the land of Egypt: therefore you shall observe this day throughout your generations by an ordinance forever. 18In the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month at evening, you shall eat unleavened bread, until the twenty-first day of the month at evening. 19Seven days no leaven shall be found in your houses: for whoever eats what is leavened, that soul shall be cut off from the congregation of Israel, whether he is a sojourner, or one who is born in the land. 20You shall eat nothing leavened; in all your habitations you shall eat unleavened bread. 21Then Moses called for all the elders of Israel, and said to them, Draw out, and take lambs for yourselves according to your families, and kill the passover. 22And you shall take a bunch of hyssop, and dip it in the blood that is in the basin, and strike the lintel and the two side-posts with the blood that is in the basin; and none of you shall go out of the door of his house until the morning. 23For Yehovah will pass through to strike the Egyptians; and when he sees the blood upon the lintel, and on the two side-posts, Yehovah will pass over the door, and will not allow the destroyer to come in to your houses to strike you. 24And you shall observe this thing for an ordinance to you and to your sons forever. 25And it shall happen, when you have come to the land which Yehovah will give you, as he has promised, that you shall keep this service. 26And it shall happen, when your children say to you, What do you mean by this service? 27that you shall say, It is the sacrifice of Yehovah’s passover, who passed over the houses of the children of Israel in Egypt, when he struck the Egyptians, and delivered our houses. And the people bowed the head and worshipped. 28And the children of Israel went and did so; as Yehovah had commanded Moses and Aaron, so did they. 29And it happened at midnight, that Yehovah struck all the first-born in the land of Egypt, from the first-born of Pharaoh who sat on his throne to the first-born of the captive who was in the dungeon; and all the first-born of cattle. 30And 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. 31And he called for Moses and Aaron by night, and said, Rise up, go out from among my people, both you and the children of Israel; and go, serve Yehovah, as you have said. 32Take both your flocks and your herds, as you have said, and be gone; and bless me also. 33And the Egyptians were urgent upon the people, to send them out of the land in haste; for they said, We are all dead men. 34And the people took their dough before it was leavened, their kneading-troughs being bound up in their clothes upon their shoulders. 35And the children of Israel did according to the word of Moses; and they asked of the Egyptians jewels of silver, and jewels of gold, and clothing: 36and Yehovah gave the people favor in the sight of the Egyptians, so that they let them have what they asked. And they despoiled the Egyptians. 37And the children of Israel journeyed from Rameses to Succoth, about six hundred thousand men on foot, besides children. 38And a mixed multitude went up also with them; and flocks, and herds, even very much cattle. 39And they baked unleavened cakes of the dough which they brought out of Egypt; for it was not leavened, because they were thrust out of Egypt, and could not delay, nor had they prepared for themselves any provisions. 40Now the time that the children of Israel dwelt in Egypt was four hundred and thirty years. 41And it happened at the end of four hundred and thirty years, even on that very day it happened, that all the hosts of Yehovah went out from the land of Egypt. 42It is a night to be much observed to Yehovah for bringing them out from the land of Egypt: this is that night of Yehovah, to be much observed by all the children of Israel throughout their generations. 43And Yehovah said to Moses and Aaron, This is the ordinance of the passover: no foreigner shall eat of it; 44but every man’s servant that is bought for money, when you have circumcised him, then he shall eat of it. 45A sojourner and a hired servant shall not eat of it. 46In one house it shall be eaten; you shall not carry any of the flesh outside the house; nor shall you break a bone of it. 47All the congregation of Israel shall keep it. 48And when a stranger sojourns with you, and would keep the passover to Yehovah, let all his males be circumcised, and then let him come near and keep it; and he shall be as one who is born in the land: but no uncircumcised person shall eat of it. 49One law shall be to him who is home-born, and to the stranger who sojourns among you. 50Thus did all the children of Israel; as Yehovah commanded Moses and Aaron, so did they. 51And it happened on that very day, that Yehovah brought the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt by their hosts.
