"This month shall be to 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 ten of the month this so they may take for themselves everyone a lamb for a household of fathers a lamb for the household.
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;
4 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.
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.
5 A lamb unblemished male a son of a year it will be for you one of the lambs and one of the goats you will take.
Your lamb shall be without blemish, a male in its first year. You shall take it from the sheep, or from the goats:
6 And it will be for you for safekeeping until [the] four-teen day of the month this and they will slaughter it all [the] assembly of [the] congregation of Israel between the two evenings.
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.
7 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.
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.

They shall eat the flesh in that night, roasted with fire, and unleavened bread. They shall eat it with bitter herbs.
9 May not you eat any of it raw and boiled being boiled in water that except roasted of fire head its with legs its and with entrails its.

10 And not you will leave over any of it until morning and what is left over of it until morning with fire you will burn.
You shall let nothing of it remain until the morning; but that which remains of it until the morning you shall burn with fire.

21 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.
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.
22 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.
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.
23 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].
For YHWH will pass through to strike the Egyptians, and when he sees the blood on the top and sides of the doorframe, YHWH will pass over the door and will not allow the destroyer to enter your houses to strike you.
24 And you will keep the word this to a decree for yourself and for children your until perpetuity.
And you must observe this as an ordinance for you and your children forever.
25 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.
And it shall come to pass when you enter the land which YHWH will give you, as he has promised, you must keep this ceremony.
26 And it will be that they will say to you children your what? [is] the service this to you.
And it shall be, when your children ask you, 'What do you mean by this ceremony?'
27 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.
that you shall say, 'It is the sacrifice of YHWH'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.
28 And they went and they did [the] people of Israel just as he had commanded Yahweh Moses and Aaron so they did.
Then the children of Israel went away and did as YHWH had commanded Moses and Aaron, so they did.
29 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.
And it came to pass at midnight that YHWH 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.
30 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].
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.
31 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.
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 YHWH, as you have requested.
32 Both flock[s] your as well as herd[s] your take just as you said and go and you will bless also me.
Take your flocks and your herds, as you have requested, and be gone, but bless me also."

The Egyptians were urgent with the people to send them out of the land quickly, for they said, "We will all be dead."
34 And it carried off the people dough its before it was leavened kneading troughs their [were] bound up in clothes their on shoulder their.
So the people took their dough before it was leavened, with their kneading bowls wrapped in their clothing on their shoulders.
35 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.
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.
36 And Yahweh he gave [the] favor of the people in [the] eyes of Egypt and they granted [the] request them and they plundered Egypt.
And YHWH gave the people favor in the sight of the Egyptians, and they gave them whatever they wanted. And so they plundered Egypt.
37 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].

And a mixed crowd also went up with them, and a huge number of livestock, both flocks and herds.

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.
40 And [the] dwelling of [the] people of Israel which they dwelt in Egypt [was] thirty year[s] and four hundred year[s].
Now the time that the children of Israel lived in Egypt was four hundred and thirty years.
41 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.

It was a night when YHWH 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 YHWH throughout their generations.
43 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 And every slave of anyone [the] purchase of silver and you will circumcise him then he will eat in it.
but every man's servant who is bought for money, after you have circumcised him, may he eat of it.
45 A resident alien and a hired laborer not he will eat in it.
A foreigner and a hired servant must not eat of it.
46 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.

All the congregation of Israel is to keep it.

If a foreigner lives with you and wants to keep the Passover to YHWH, 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.
49 Law one it will be[long] to the native-born and to the sojourner who sojourns in midst of you.
The same law will apply to the native-born and to the foreigner who lives among you."
50 And they did all [the] people of Israel just as he had commanded Yahweh Moses and Aaron so they did.
So all the children of Israel did as YHWH commanded Moses and Aaron, so they did.
51 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.
And it happened on this very day that YHWH brought the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt by their regiments.
