Exodus 12
1 Now the LORD spoke to Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt, saying,
And Jehovah spoke to Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt, saying,
2 "This month shall be to you the beginning of months. It shall be the first month of the year to you.
This month shall be unto you the beginning of months: it shall be the first month of the year to you.
3 Speak to all the congregation of Israel, saying, 'On the tenth day of this month, they shall take to them every man a lamb, according to their fathers' houses, a lamb for a household;
Speak unto all the assembly of Israel, saying, On the tenth of this month let them take themselves each a lamb, for a father's house, a lamb for a house.
4 and if the household is too little for a lamb, then he and his neighbor next to his house shall take one according to the number of the souls; according to what everyone can eat you shall make your count for the lamb.
And if the household be too small for a lamb, let him and his neighbour next unto his house take [it] according to the number of the souls; each according to [the measure] of his eating shall ye count for the lamb.
5 Your lamb shall be without blemish, a male in its first year. You shall take it from the sheep, or from the goats:
Your lamb shall be without blemish, a yearling male; ye shall take [it] from the sheep, or from the goats.
6 and 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.
And ye shall keep it until the fourteenth day of this month; and the whole congregation of the assembly of Israel shall kill it between the two evenings.
7 They shall take some of the blood, and put it on the two doorposts and on the lintel, on the houses in which they shall eat it.
And they shall take of the blood, and put [it] on the two door-posts and on the lintel of the houses in which they eat it.
8 They shall eat the flesh in that night, roasted with fire, and unleavened bread. They shall eat it with bitter herbs.
And they shall eat the flesh in that night, roast with fire, and unleavened bread; with bitter [herbs] shall they eat it.
9 Do not eat it raw, nor boiled at all with water, but roasted with fire; with its head, its legs and its inner parts.
Ye shall eat none of it raw, nor boiled at all with water, but roast with fire; its head with its legs and with its in-wards.
10 You shall let nothing of it remain until the morning; but that which remains of it until the morning you shall burn with fire.
And ye shall let none of it remain until the morning; and what remaineth of it until the morning ye shall burn with fire.
11 This is how you shall eat it: with your waist girded, your shoes on your feet, and your staff in your hand; and you shall eat it in haste: it is the LORD's Passover.
And thus shall ye eat it: your loins shall be girded, your sandals on your feet, and your staff in your hand; and ye shall eat it in haste; it is Jehovah's passover.
12 For I will go through the land of Egypt in that night, and will strike all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both man and animal. Against all the gods of Egypt I will execute judgments: I am the LORD.
And I will go through the land of Egypt in that night, and 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 Jehovah.
13 The blood shall be to you for a token on the houses where you are: and when I see the blood, I will pass over you, and there shall no plague be on you to destroy you, when I strike the land of Egypt.
And the blood shall be for you as a sign on the houses in which ye are; and when I see the blood, I will pass over you; and the plague shall not be among you for destruction, when I smite the land of Egypt.
14 This day shall be to you for a memorial, and you shall keep it a feast to the LORD: throughout your generations you shall keep it a feast by an ordinance forever.
And this day shall be unto you for a memorial; and ye shall celebrate it [as] a feast to Jehovah; throughout your generations [as] an ordinance for ever shall ye celebrate it.
15 "'Seven days you shall eat unleavened bread; even the first day you shall put away yeast 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.
Seven days shall ye eat unleavened bread: on the very first day ye shall put away leaven out of your houses; for whoever eateth leavened bread from the first day until the seventh day — that soul shall be cut off from Israel.
16 In the first day there shall be to you a holy convocation, and in the seventh day a holy convocation; no manner of work shall be done in them, except that which every man must eat, that only may be done by you.
And on the first day ye shall have a holy convocation, and on the seventh day a holy convocation: no manner of work shall be done on them, save what is eaten by every person — that only shall be done by you.
17 You shall observe the feast of unleavened bread; for in this same day have I brought your regiments out of the land of Egypt: therefore you shall observe this day throughout your generations by an ordinance forever.
And ye shall keep the [feast of] unleavened [bread]; for in this same day have I brought your hosts out of the land of Egypt; and ye shall keep this day in your generations [as] an ordinance for ever.
18 In 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.
In the first [month], on the fourteenth day of the month, in the evening, ye shall eat unleavened bread until the one and twentieth day of the month in the evening.
19 For seven days yeast must not be found in your houses, for whoever eats that which is leavened, that person must be cut off from the congregation of Israel, whether he is a foreigner, or one who is born in the land.
Seven days shall there be no leaven found in your houses; for whoever eateth what is leavened — that soul shall be cut off from the assembly of Israel, whether he be a sojourner, or born in the land.
20 You must eat nothing leavened. In all your places where you live you must eat unleavened bread.'"
Ye shall eat nothing leavened: in all your dwellings shall ye eat unleavened bread.
21 Then Moses called for all the elders of the children of Israel, and said to them, "Go and select lambs according to your clans, and kill the Passover lamb.
And Moses called all the elders of Israel, and said to them, Seize and take yourselves lambs for your families, and kill the passover.
22 And you are to take a bunch of hyssop and dip it in the blood that is in the basin, and apply it on the top and on both sides of the doorframe with the blood that is in the basin. And none of you is to go out of the door of his house until morning.
And take a bunch of hyssop, and dip [it] in the blood that is in the bason, and smear the lintel and the two door-posts with the blood that is in the bason; and none of you shall go out of the door of his house until the morning.
23 For the LORD will pass through to strike the Egyptians, and when he sees the blood on the top and sides of the doorframe, the LORD will pass over the door and will not allow the destroyer to enter your houses to strike you.
And Jehovah will pass through to smite the Egyptians; and when he sees the blood on the lintel, and on the two door-posts, Jehovah will pass over the door, and will not suffer the destroyer to come into your houses to smite [you].
24 And you must observe this as an ordinance for you and your children forever.
And ye shall observe this as an ordinance for thee and for thy sons for ever.
25 And it shall come to pass when you enter the land which the LORD will give you, as he has promised, you must keep this ceremony.
And it shall come to pass, when ye are come into the land that Jehovah will give you, as he has promised, that ye shall keep this service.
26 And it shall be, when your children ask you, 'What do you mean by this ceremony?'
And it shall come to pass, when your children shall say to you, What mean ye by this service?
27 that you shall say, 'It is the sacrifice of the LORD's Passover, because he passed over the houses of the children of Israel in Egypt, when he struck the Egyptians but spared our houses.'" And the people bowed down and worshiped.
that ye shall say, It is a sacrifice of passover to Jehovah, 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 their heads and worshipped.
28 Then the children of Israel went away and did as the LORD had commanded Moses and Aaron, so they did.
And the children of Israel went away, and did as Jehovah had commanded Moses and Aaron; so did they.
29 And it came to pass at midnight that the LORD killed all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, from the firstborn of Pharaoh who sat on his throne to the firstborn of the prisoner who was in the prison, and all the firstborn of livestock.
And it came to pass that at midnight Jehovah smote all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, from the firstborn of Pharaoh who sat on his throne to the firstborn of the captive that was in the dungeon, and all the firstborn of cattle.
30 And Pharaoh got up during the night, he, and all his servants, and all Egypt, and there was loud wailing in Egypt, for there was not a house where there was not someone dead.
And Pharaoh rose up in the night, he, and all his bondmen, and all the Egyptians; and there was a great cry in Egypt; for there was not a house in which there was not one dead.
31 Then he summoned for Moses and Aaron during the night, and said, "Get up, get out from among my people, both you and the children of Israel; and go, serve the LORD, as you have requested.
And he called Moses and Aaron in the night, and said, Rise up, go away from among my people, both ye and the children of Israel; and go, serve Jehovah, as ye have said.
32 Take your flocks and your herds, as you have requested, and be gone, but bless me also."
Also take your flocks and your herds, as ye have said, and go; and bless me also.
33 The Egyptians were urgent with the people to send them out of the land quickly, for they said, "We will all be dead."
And the Egyptians urged the people, to send them out of the land in haste; for they said, We are all dead [men]!
34 So the people took their dough before it was leavened, with their kneading bowls wrapped in their clothing on their shoulders.
And the people took their dough before it was leavened; their kneading-troughs bound up in their clothes upon their shoulders.
35 Now the children of Israel did according to what Moses told them, for they had asked the Egyptians for articles of silver and articles of gold and clothing.
And the children of Israel had done according to the word of Moses, and they had asked of the Egyptians utensils of silver, and utensils of gold, and clothing.
36 And the LORD gave the people favor in the sight of the Egyptians, and they gave them whatever they wanted. And so they plundered Egypt.
And Jehovah had given the people favour in the eyes of the Egyptians, and they gave to them; and they spoiled the Egyptians.
37 And the children of Israel traveled from Rameses to Succoth, about six hundred thousand men on foot, besides their dependents.
And the children of Israel journeyed from Rameses to Succoth, about six hundred thousand on foot [that were] men, besides children.
38 And a mixed crowd also went up with them, and a huge number of livestock, both flocks and herds.
And a mixed multitude went up also with them; and flocks and herds — very much cattle.
39 And they baked unleavened loaves using the dough that they had brought out of Egypt; for it wasn't leavened, because they were thrust out of Egypt, and couldn't wait, nor had they prepared any provisions for themselves.
And they baked the dough that they brought forth out of Egypt into unleavened cakes, for it was not leavened; for they were driven out of Egypt, and could not wait; neither had they prepared for themselves any food.
40 Now the time that the children of Israel lived in Egypt was four hundred and thirty years.
And the residence of the children of Israel that they resided in Egypt was four hundred and thirty years.
41 And it came to pass at the end of four hundred thirty years, to the day, it came to pass that all the regiments of the LORD went out from the land of Egypt.
And it came to pass at the end of the four hundred and thirty years, on that same day it came to pass that all the hosts of Jehovah went out from the land of Egypt.
42 It was a night when the LORD kept vigil to bring them out from the land of Egypt. So on this night all the children of Israel must keep a vigil to the LORD throughout their generations.
It is a night of observance to Jehovah, because of their being brought out from the land of Egypt: that same night is an observance to Jehovah for all the children of Israel in their generations.
43 And the LORD said to Moses and Aaron, "This is the ordinance of the Passover. No foreigner may eat of it,
And Jehovah said to Moses and Aaron, This is the ordinance of the passover: No stranger shall eat of it;
44 but every man's servant who is bought for money, after you have circumcised him, may he eat of it.
but every man's bondman that is bought for money — let him be circumcised: then shall he eat it.
45 A foreigner and a hired servant must not eat of it.
A settler and a hired servant shall not eat it.
46 It is to be eaten in one house. You must not take any of the meat outside the house, and you are not to break any of its bones.
In one house shall it be eaten; thou shalt not carry forth any of the flesh abroad out of the house; neither shall ye break a bone thereof.
47 All the congregation of Israel is to keep it.
All the assembly of Israel shall hold it.
48 If a foreigner lives with you and wants to keep the Passover to the LORD, all his males must be circumcised, and then he may take part and observe it, and he will be like one who is born in the land. But no uncircumcised person may eat of it.
And when a sojourner sojourneth with thee, and would hold the passover to Jehovah, let all his males be circumcised, and then let him come near and hold it; and he shall be as one that is born in the land; but no uncircumcised person shall eat thereof.
49 The same law will apply to the native-born and to the foreigner who lives among you."
One law shall be for him that is home-born and for the sojourner that sojourneth among you.
50 So all the children of Israel did as the LORD commanded Moses and Aaron, so they did.
And all the children of Israel did as Jehovah had commanded Moses and Aaron; so did they.
51 And it happened on this very day that the LORD brought the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt by their regiments.
And it came to pass on that same day, [that] Jehovah brought the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt according to their hosts.
