1 And the LORD spake unto Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt, say­ing, 2 This month shall be unto you the be­gin­ning of months: it shall be the first month of the year to you. 3 Speak ye unto all the con­gre­ga­tion of Is­rael, say­ing, In the tenth day of this month they shall take to them ev­ery man a lamb, ac­cord­ing to the house of their fa­thers, a lamb for an house: 4 And if the house­hold be too lit­tle for the lamb, let him and his neigh­bour next unto his house take it ac­cord­ing to the num­ber of the souls; ev­ery man ac­cord­ing to his eat­ing shall make your count for the lamb. 5 Your lamb shall be with­out blem­ish, a male of the first year: ye shall take it out from the sheep, or from the goats: 6 And ye shall keep it up un­til the four­teenth day of the same month: and the whole as­sem­bly of the con­gre­ga­tion of Is­rael shall kill it in the evening. 7 And they shall take of the blood, and strike it on the two side posts and on the up­per door post of the hous­es, where­in they shall eat it. 8 And they shall eat the flesh in that night, roast with fire, and un­leav­ened bread; and with bit­ter herbs they shall eat it. 9 Eat not of it raw, nor sod­den at all with wa­ter, but roast with fire; his head with his legs, and with the pur­te­nance there­of. 10 And ye shall let noth­ing of it re­main un­til the morn­ing; and that which re­maineth of it un­til the morn­ing ye shall burn with fire. 11 And thus shall ye eat it; with your loins gird­ed, your shoes on your feet, and your staff in your hand; and ye shall eat it in haste: it is the LORD'S passover. 12 For I will pass through the land of Egypt this night, and will 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 the LORD. 13 And the blood shall be to you for a to­ken upon the hous­es where ye are: and when I see the blood, I will pass over you, and the plague shall not be upon you to de­stroy you, when I smite the land of Egypt. 14 And this day shall be unto you for a memo­ri­al; and ye shall keep it a feast to the LORD through­out your gen­er­a­tions; ye shall keep it a feast by an or­di­nance for ev­er. 15 Sev­en days shall ye eat un­leav­ened bread; even the first day ye shall put away leav­en out of your hous­es: for whoso­ev­er eateth leav­ened bread from the first day un­til the sev­enth day, that soul shall be cut off from Is­rael. 16 And in the first day there shall be an holy con­vo­ca­tion, and in the sev­enth day there shall be an holy con­vo­ca­tion to you; no man­ner of work shall be done in them, save that which ev­ery man must eat, that only may be done of you. 17 And ye shall ob­serve the feast of un­leav­ened bread; for in this self­same day have I brought your armies out of the land of Egypt: there­fore shall ye ob­serve this day in your gen­er­a­tions by an or­di­nance for ev­er. 18 In the first month, on the four­teenth day of the month at even, ye shall eat un­leav­ened bread, un­til the one and twen­ti­eth day of the month at even. 19 Sev­en days shall there be no leav­en found in your hous­es: for whoso­ev­er eateth that which is leav­ened, even that soul shall be cut off from the con­gre­ga­tion of Is­rael, whether he be a stranger, or born in the land. 20 Ye shall eat noth­ing leav­ened; in all your habi­ta­tions shall ye eat un­leav­ened bread. 21 Then Moses called for all the el­ders of Is­rael, and said unto them, Draw out and take you a lamb ac­cord­ing to your fam­i­lies, and kill the passover. 22 And ye shall take a bunch of hys­sop, and dip it in the blood that is in the ba­son, and strike the lin­tel and the two side posts with the blood that is in the ba­son; and none of you shall go out at the door of his house un­til the morn­ing. 23 For the LORD will pass through to smite the Egyp­tians; and when he seeth the blood upon the lin­tel, and on the two side posts, the LORD will pass over the door, and will not suf­fer the de­stroy­er to come in unto your hous­es to smite you. 24 And ye shall ob­serve this thing for an or­di­nance to thee and to thy sons for ev­er. 25 And it shall come to pass, when ye be come to the land which the LORD will give you, ac­cord­ing as he hath promised, that ye shall keep this ser­vice. 26 And it shall come to pass, when your chil­dren shall say unto you, What mean ye by this ser­vice? 27 That ye shall say, It is the sac­ri­fice of the LORD'S passover, 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 the head and wor­shipped. 28 And the chil­dren of Is­rael went away, and did as the LORD had com­mand­ed Moses and Aaron, so did they. 29 And it came to pass, that at mid­night the LORD smote all the first­born in the land of Egypt, from the first­born of Pharaoh that sat on his throne unto the first­born of the cap­tive that was in the dun­geon; and all the first­born of cat­tle. 30 And 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. 31 And he called for Moses and Aaron by night, and said, Rise up, and get you forth from among my peo­ple, both ye and the chil­dren of Is­rael; and go, serve the LORD, as ye have said. 32 Also take your flocks and your herds, as ye have said, and be gone; and bless me al­so. 33 And the Egyp­tians were ur­gent upon the peo­ple, that they might send them out of the land in haste; for they said, We be all dead men. 34 And the peo­ple took their dough be­fore it was leav­ened, their knead­ingtroughs be­ing bound up in their clothes upon their shoul­ders. 35 And the chil­dren of Is­rael did ac­cord­ing to the word of Moses; and they bor­rowed of the Egyp­tians jew­els of sil­ver, and jew­els of gold, and rai­ment: 36 And the LORD gave the peo­ple favour in the sight of the Egyp­tians, so that they lent unto them ­such things as they required. And they spoiled the Egyp­tians. 37 And the chil­dren of Is­rael jour­neyed from Rame­ses to Suc­coth, about six hun­dred thou­sand on foot that were men, be­side chil­dren. 38 And a mixed mul­ti­tude went up also with them; and flocks, and herds, even very much cat­tle. 39 And they baked un­leav­ened cakes of the dough which they brought forth out of Egypt, for it was not leav­ened; be­cause they were thrust out of Egypt, and could not tar­ry, nei­ther had they pre­pared for them­selves any vict­ual. 40 Now the so­journ­ing of the chil­dren of Is­rael, who dwelt in Egypt, was four hun­dred and thir­ty years. 41 And it came to pass at the end of the four hun­dred and thir­ty years, even the self­same day it came to pass, that all the hosts of the LORD went out from the land of Egypt. 42 It is a night to be much ob­served unto the LORD for bring­ing them out from the land of Egypt: this is that night of the LORD to be ob­served of all the chil­dren of Is­rael in their gen­er­a­tions. 43 And the LORD said unto Moses and Aaron, This is the or­di­nance of the passover: There shall no stranger eat there­of: 44 But ev­ery man's ser­vant that is bought for mon­ey, when thou hast cir­cum­cised him, then shall he eat there­of. 45 A for­eign­er and an hired ser­vant shall not eat there­of. 46 In one house shall it be eat­en; thou shalt not car­ry forth ought of the flesh abroad out of the house; nei­ther shall ye break a bone there­of. 47 All the con­gre­ga­tion of Is­rael shall keep it. 48 And when a stranger shall so­journ with thee, and will keep the passover to the LORD, let all his males be cir­cum­cised, and then let him come near and keep it; and he shall be as one that is born in the land: for no un­cir­cum­cised per­son shall eat there­of. 49 One law shall be to him that is home­born, and unto the stranger that so­jour­neth among you. 50 Thus did all the chil­dren of Is­rael; as the LORD com­mand­ed Moses and Aaron, so did they. 51 And it came to pass the self­same day, that the LORD did bring the chil­dren of Is­rael out of the land of Egypt by their armies.
