The month this for you [will be the] beginning of months [will be] first it for you of [the] months of the year.
3 Tell all the Israelites that on the tenth day of this month, every man must choose a lamb for his family, one for each household.
Speak to all [the] congregation of Israel saying on the ten of the month this so they may take for themselves everyone a lamb for a household of fathers a lamb for the household.
4 However, if the household is too small for a whole lamb, then he and his nearest neighbor may choose a lamb according to the total number of people. Divide up the lamb depending on what everybody can eat.
And if it will be [too] small the household for being for a lamb and he will take he and neighbor his near to house his by [the] number of people each one to [the] mouth of food his you will estimate on the lamb.
5 Your lamb must be a year-old male without any defects, and you can take it either from the sheep or the goats.

7 They are to take some of the blood and put it on the sides and tops of the doorframes of the houses where they have the meal.
And they will take some of the blood and they will put [it] on [the] two the doorposts and on the lintels on the houses which they will eat it in them.
8 They are to roast the meat over a fire and eat it that night, together with unleavened bread and bitter herbs.

And I will pass in [the] land of Egypt in the night this and I will strike every firstborn in [the] land of Egypt from humankind and unto livestock and on all [the] gods of Egypt I will do acts of judgment I [am] Yahweh.
13 The blood on the houses where you live will mark them out. When I see the blood, I will pass over you. No deathly plague will fall on you to destroy you when I attack Egypt.
And it will become the blood for you a sign on the houses where you [are] there and I will see the blood and I will pass over over you and not it will be among you a plague for destruction when strike I in [the] land of Egypt.
14 This will be a day to remember for you. You are to celebrate it as a festival to the Lord for generations to come. You will observe this for all time to come.

21 Then Moses called together all the elders of Israel and told them, “Go immediately and choose a lamb for each of your families, and kill the Passover lamb.
And he summoned Moses all [the] elders of Israel and he said to them draw and take for yourselves sheep to clans your and slaughter the passover.
22 Get a bunch of hyssop, dip it into the blood in the basin, and put some on the top and sides of the doorframe. None of you are to go out through door of the house until morning.
And you will take a bunch of hyssop and you will dip [it] in the blood which [is] in the basin and you will make touch the lintels and [the] two the doorposts some of the blood which [is] in the basin and you not you will go out anyone from [the] door of house his until morning.
23 When the Lord passes through to punish the Egyptians, he will see the blood on the top and sides of the doorframe. He will pass over the door, and he will not allow the destroyer to enter your houses and kill you.
And he will pass through Yahweh to strike Egypt and he will see the blood on the lintels and on [the] two the doorposts and he will pass over Yahweh over the doorway and not he will permit the destroyer to come into houses your to strike [you].
24 You and your descendants are to remember to observe these instructions for all time to come.
And you will keep the word this to a decree for yourself and for children your until perpetuity.
25 When you enter the land that the Lord promised to give you, you are to observe this ceremony.
And it will be that you will come into the land which he will give Yahweh to you just as he said and you will keep the service this.
26 When your children come and ask you, ‘Why is this ceremony important to you?’
And it will be that they will say to you children your what? [is] the service this to you.
27 you are to tell them, ‘This is the Passover sacrifice to the Lord. He was the one who passed over the houses of the Israelites in Egypt when he killed the Egyptians but spared our households.’” The people bowed down in worship.
And you will say [is] a sacrifice of passover it to Yahweh who he passed over over [the] houses of [the] people of Israel in Egypt when struck he Egypt and houses our he delivered and it bowed low the people and they bowed down.
28 Then the Israelites went and did just as the Lord had told Moses and Aaron.
And they went and they did [the] people of Israel just as he had commanded Yahweh Moses and Aaron so they did.
29 At midnight the Lord killed every firstborn male in the land of Egypt, from the firstborn of Pharaoh, who sat on his throne, to the firstborn of the prisoner in the jail, and also all the firstborn of the livestock.
And it was - in [the] middle of the night and Yahweh he struck every firstborn in [the] land of Egypt from [the] firstborn of Pharaoh who sat on throne his unto [the] firstborn of the prisoner who [was] in [the] house of the cistern and every firstborn of livestock.
30 Pharaoh got up during the night, as well as all his officials and all the Egyptians. There were loud cries of agony throughout Egypt, because there wasn't a single house where someone hadn't died.
And he arose Pharaoh night he and all servants his and all Egypt and it was a cry great in Egypt for there not [was] a house where there not there [was] a dead [person].
31 Pharaoh called for Moses and Aaron during the night and told them, “Get out of here! Leave my people, the two of you and the Israelites! Go, so you can worship the Lord as you have asked.
And he summoned Moses and Aaron night and he said arise go out from among people my both you as well as [the] people of Israel and go serve Yahweh as said you.
32 Take your flocks and herds as well, just like you've said, and leave! Oh, and bless me too.”
Both flock[s] your as well as herd[s] your take just as you said and go and you will bless also me.
33 The Egyptians urged the Israelites to leave their country as quickly as possible, saying, “Otherwise we'll all die!”
And it urged Egypt on the people to hurry to send away them from the land for they said all of us [are] about to die.
34 So the Israelites picked up their dough before it had risen, and carried it on their shoulders in kneading bowls wrapped in clothing.
And it carried off the people dough its before it was leavened kneading troughs their [were] bound up in clothes their on shoulder their.
35 In addition, the Israelites did what Moses had told them and asked the Egyptians for objects of silver and gold, and for clothing.
And [the] people of Israel they did according to [the] word of Moses and they asked from Egypt articles of silver and articles of gold and clothes.
36 The Lord had made the Egyptians look so favorably on the Israelites that they agreed their request. In this way they took the wealth of the Egyptians.
And Yahweh he gave [the] favor of the people in [the] eyes of Egypt and they granted [the] request them and they plundered Egypt.
37 The Israelites set out on foot from Rameses for Succoth and numbered about 600,000 men, as well as women and children.
And they set out [the] people of Israel from Rameses Succoth towards [were] about six hundred thousand foot soldier[s] the men apart from little one[s].
38 In addition many foreigners joined them. They also took with them large herds and flocks of livestock.
And also a mixed company numerous it went up with them and flock[s] and herd[s] livestock numerous very.
39 Since their bread dough didn't have any yeast, the Israelites baked what they had brought out of Egypt into loaves without yeast. This was because when they were driven out of Egypt they had to leave in a hurry and didn't have time to prepare food for themselves.
And they baked the dough which they had brought out from Egypt bread cakes unleavened bread for not it was leavened for they had been driven out from Egypt and not they had been able to delay and also provision[s] not they had made for themselves.
40 The Israelites had lived in Egypt for 430 years.
And [the] dwelling of [the] people of Israel which they dwelt in Egypt [was] thirty year[s] and four hundred year[s].
41 On the very day the 430 years ended, all the tribes of the Lord by their respective divisions left Egypt.
And it was from [the] end of thirty year[s] and four hundred year[s] and it was on [the] substance of the day this they went out all [the] hosts of Yahweh from [the] land of Egypt.
42 Because the Lord kept watch that night to lead them out of the land of Egypt, you are to keep watch this same night as an observance to honor the Lord, to be kept by all Israelites for generations to come.
[was] a night of Vigil it for Yahweh to bring out them from [the] land of Egypt it the night this for Yahweh vigil for all [the] people of Israel to generations their.
43 The Lord told Moses and Aaron, “This is the Passover ceremony. No foreigner is allowed to eat it.
And he said Yahweh to Moses and Aaron this [is] [the] statute of the passover any son of foreignness not he will eat in it.
44 But any slave who has been bought can eat it once you have circumcised him.
And every slave of anyone [the] purchase of silver and you will circumcise him then he will eat in it.
45 Foreign visitors or those hired from other nations shall not eat the Passover.
A resident alien and a hired laborer not he will eat in it.
46 It has to be eaten inside the house. You are not allowed to take any of the meat outside the house, or to break any of the bones.
In a house one it will be eaten not you will bring out from the house any of the meat [the] outside towards and a bone not you will break in it.
47 All Israelites are to celebrate it.
All [the] congregation of Israel they will do it.
48 If there's a foreigner lives with you and wants to celebrate the Lord's Passover, all the males in their household have to be circumcised. Then he may come and celebrate it, and he shall be treated like a native of the land. But no man who is not circumcised may eat it.
And if he will sojourn with you a sojourner and he will observe a passover to Yahweh he will be circumcised of him every male and then he will draw near to observe it and he will be like [the] native-born of the land and any uncircumcised [man] not he will eat in it.
49 The same rule applies to both the native and the foreigner who lives among you.”
Law one it will be[long] to the native-born and to the sojourner who sojourns in midst of you.
50 Then all the Israelites followed these instructions. They did exactly what the Lord had commanded Moses and Aaron.
And they did all [the] people of Israel just as he had commanded Yahweh Moses and Aaron so they did.
51 That very day the Lord led the Israelite tribes out of Egypt by their respective tribal divisions.
And it was on [the] substance of the day this he brought out Yahweh [the] people of Israel from [the] land of Egypt on hosts their.
