Exodus 12
12:1

And Yahweh3068 spake559 unto Moses4872 and Aaron175 in the land776 of Egypt,4714 saying,559

12:2

This month2320 shall be unto you the beginning7218 of months:2320 it shall be the first7223 month2320 of the year8141 to you.

12:3

Speak1696 ye unto all the congregation5712 of Israel,3478 saying,559 In the tenth6218 day of this month2320 they shall take3947 to them every man376 a lamb,7716 according to the house1004 of their fathers,1 a lamb7716 for an house:1004

12:4

And if the household1004 be too little4591 for the lamb,7716 let him and his neighbour7934 next7138 unto his house1004 take3947 it according to the number4373 of the souls;5315 every man376 according6310 to his eating400 shall make your count3699 for the lamb.7716

12:5

Your lamb7716 shall be without blemish,8549 a male2145 of the first1121 year:8141 ye shall take3947 it out from the sheep,3532 or from the goats:5795

12:6

And ye shall keep4931 it up until the fourteenth702 day3117 of the same month:2320 and the whole3605 assembly6951 of the congregation5712 of Israel3478 shall kill7819 it in996 the evening.6153

12:7

And they shall take3947 of the blood,1818 and strike5414 it on the two8147 side posts4201 and on the upper door post4947 of the houses,1004 wherein they shall eat398 it.

12:8

And they shall eat398 the flesh1320 in that night,3915 roast6748 with fire,784 and unleavened bread;4682 and with bitter4844 herbs they shall eat398 it.

12:9

Eat398 not of it raw,4995 nor sodden1310 at all with water,4325 but roast6748 with fire;784 his head7218 with his legs,3767 and with the purtenance7130 thereof.

12:10

And ye shall let nothing of it remain3498 until the morning;1242 and that which remaineth3498 of it until the morning1242 ye shall burn8313 with fire.784

12:11

And thus3602 shall ye eat398 it; with your loins4975 girded,2296 your shoes5275 on your feet,7272 and your staff4731 in your hand;3027 and ye shall eat398 it in haste:2649 it is Yahweh's3068 passover.6453

12:12

For I will pass5674 through the land776 of Egypt4714 this night,3915 and will smite5221 all the firstborn1060 in the land776 of Egypt,4714 both man120 and beast;929 and against all the mighty one's430 of Egypt4714 I will execute6213 judgment:8201 I am Yahweh.3068

12:13

And the blood1818 shall be to you for a token226 upon the houses1004 where ye are: and when I see7200 the blood,1818 I will pass6452 over you, and the plague5063 shall not be upon you to destroy4889 you, when I smite5221 the land776 of Egypt.4714

12:14

And this day3117 shall be unto you for a memorial;2146 and ye shall keep2287 it a feast2282 to Yahweh3068 throughout your generations;1755 ye shall keep it a feast2287 by an ordinance2708 for ever.5769

12:15

Seven7651 days3117 shall ye eat398 unleavened bread;4682 even389 the first7223 day3117 ye shall put away7673 leaven7603 out of your houses:1004 for whosoever eateth398 leavened bread2557 from the first7223 day3117 until the seventh7637 day,3117 that soul5315 shall be cut off3772 from Israel.3478

12:16

And in the first7223 day3117 there shall be an holy6944 convocation,4744 and in the seventh7637 day3117 there shall be an holy6944 convocation4744 to you; no manner of work4399 shall be done6213 in them, save389 that which every man5315 must eat,398 that only may be done6213 of you.

12:17

And ye shall observe8104 the feast of unleavened bread;4682 for in this selfsame6106 day3117 have I brought your armies6635 out3318 of the land776 of Egypt:4714 therefore shall ye observe8104 this day3117 in your generations1755 by an ordinance2708 for ever.5769

12:18

In the first7223 month, on the fourteenth6240 day3117 of the month2320 at even,6153 ye shall eat398 unleavened bread,4682 until the one259 and twentieth6242 day3117 of the month2320 at even.6153

12:19

Seven7651 days3117 shall there be no leaven7603 found4672 in your houses:1004 for whosoever eateth398 that which is leavened,2556 even that soul5315 shall be cut off3772 from the congregation5712 of Israel,3478 whether he be a stranger,1616 or born249 in the land.776

12:20

Ye shall eat398 nothing leavened;2556 in all your habitations4186 shall ye eat398 unleavened bread.4682

12:21

Then Moses4872 called7121 for all the elders2205 of Israel,3478 and said559 unto them, Draw out4900 and take3947 you a lamb6629 according to your families,4940 and kill7819 the passover.6453

12:22

And ye shall take3947 a bunch92 of hyssop,231 and dip2881 it in the blood1818 that is in the bason,5592 and strike5060 the lintel4947 and the two8147 side posts4201 with the blood1818 that is in the bason;5592 and none376 of you shall go out3318 at the door6607 of his house1004 until the morning.1242

12:23

For Yahweh3068 will pass through5674 to smite5062 the Egyptians;4714 and when he seeth7200 the blood1818 upon the lintel,4947 and on the two8147 side posts,4201 Yahweh3068 will pass6452 over the door,6607 and will not suffer5414 the destroyer7843 to come935 in unto your houses1004 to smite5062 you.

12:24

And ye shall observe8104 this thing1697 for an ordinance2706 to thee and to thy sons1121 for5704 ever.5769

12:25

And it shall come to pass, when ye be come935 to the land776 which Yahweh3068 will give5414 you, according as he hath promised,1696 that ye shall keep8104 this service.5656

12:26

And it shall come to pass, when your children1121 shall say559 unto you, What mean ye by this service?5656

12:27

That ye shall say,559 It is the sacrifice2077 of Yahweh's3068 passover,6453 who passed6452 over the houses1004 of the children1121 of Israel3478 in Egypt,4714 when he smote5062 the Egyptians,4714 and delivered5337 our houses.1004 And the people5971 bowed the head6915 and worshipped.7812

12:28

And the children1121 of Israel3478 went away,3212 and did6213 as Yahweh3068 had commanded6680 Moses4872 and Aaron,175 so did6213 they.

12:29

And it came to pass, that at midnight2677 Yahweh3068 smote5221 all the firstborn1060 in the land776 of Egypt,4714 from the firstborn1060 of Pharaoh6547 that sat3427 on his throne3678 unto the firstborn1060 of the captive7628 that was in the dungeon;1004 and all the firstborn1060 of cattle.929

12:30

And Pharaoh6547 rose up6965 in the night,3915 he, and all his servants,5650 and all the Egyptians;4714 and there was a great1419 cry6818 in Egypt;4714 for there was not a house1004 where there was not one dead.4191

12:31

And he called7121 for Moses4872 and Aaron175 by night,3915 and said,559 Rise up,6965 and get you forth3318 from among8432 my people,5971 both ye and the children1121 of Israel;3478 and go,3212 serve5647 Yahweh,3068 as ye have said.1696

12:32

Also take3947 your flocks6629 and your herds,1241 as ye have said,1696 and be gone;3212 and bless1288 me also.

12:33

And the Egyptians4714 were urgent2388 upon the people,5971 that they might send7971 them out of the land776 in haste;4116 for they said,559 We be all dead4191 men.

12:34

And the people5971 took5375 their dough1217 before it was leavened,2556 their kneadingtroughs4863 being bound up6887 in their clothes8071 upon their shoulders.7926

12:35

And the children1121 of Israel3478 did6213 according to the word1697 of Moses;4872 and they borrowed7592 of the Egyptians4714 jewels3627 of silver,3701 and jewels3627 of gold,2091 and raiment:8071

12:36

And Yahweh3068 gave5414 the people5971 favour2580 in the sight5869 of the Egyptians,4714 so that they lent7592 unto them such things as they required. And they spoiled5337 the Egyptians.4714

12:37

And the children1121 of Israel3478 journeyed5265 from Rameses7486 to Succoth,5523 about six8337 hundred3967 thousand505 on foot7273 that were men,1397 beside905 children.2945

12:38

And a mixed6154 multitude7227 went up5927 also with them; and flocks,6629 and herds,1241 even very3966 much3515 cattle.4735

12:39

And they baked644 unleavened4682 cakes5692 of the dough1217 which they brought forth3318 out of Egypt,4714 for it was not leavened;2556 because they were thrust out1644 of Egypt,4714 and could3201 not tarry,4102 neither had they prepared6213 for themselves any victual.6720

12:40

Now the sojourning4186 of the children1121 of Israel,3478 who dwelt3427 in Egypt,4714 was four702 hundred3967 and thirty7970 years.8141

12:41

And it came to pass at the end7093 of the four702 hundred3967 and thirty7970 years,8141 even the selfsame6106 day3117 it came to pass, that all the hosts6635 of Yahweh3068 went out3318 from the land776 of Egypt.4714

12:42

It is a night3915 to be much observed8107 unto Yahweh3068 for bringing them out3318 from the land776 of Egypt:4714 this is that night3915 of Yahweh3068 to be observed8107 of all the children1121 of Israel3478 in their generations.1755

12:43

And Yahweh3068 said559 unto Moses4872 and Aaron,175 This is the ordinance2708 of the passover:6453 There shall no stranger1121 eat398 thereof:

12:44

But every man's376 servant5650 that is bought4736 for money,3701 when thou hast circumcised4135 him, then shall he eat398 thereof.

12:45

A foreigner8453 and an hired servant7916 shall not eat398 thereof.

12:46

In one259 house1004 shall it be eaten;398 thou shalt not carry forth3318 ought of the flesh1320 abroad2351 out of the house;1004 neither shall ye break7665 a bone6106 thereof.

12:47

All the congregation5712 of Israel3478 shall keep6213 it.

12:48

And when a stranger1616 shall sojourn1481 with thee, and will keep6213 the passover6453 to Yahweh,3068 let all his males2145 be circumcised,4135 and then let him come near7126 and keep6213 it; and he shall be as one that is born249 in the land:776 for no uncircumcised6189 person shall eat398 thereof.

12:49

One259 law8451 shall be to him that is homeborn,249 and unto the stranger1616 that sojourneth1481 among8432 you.

12:50

Thus did6213 all the children1121 of Israel;3478 as Yahweh3068 commanded6680 Moses4872 and Aaron,175 so did6213 they.

12:51

And it came to pass the selfsame6106 day,3117 that Yahweh3068 did bring the children1121 of Israel3478 out3318 of the land776 of Egypt4714 by their armies.6635
