02_EXO_12_01 And the LORD spake unto Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt , saying ,
02_EXO_12_02 This month [ shall be ] unto you the beginning of months : it [ shall be ] the first month of the year to you .
02_EXO_12_03 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 :
02_EXO_12_04 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 .
02_EXO_12_05 Your lamb shall be without blemish , a male of the first year : ye shall take [ it ] out from the sheep , or from the goats :
02_EXO_12_06 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 .
02_EXO_12_07 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 .
02_EXO_12_08 And they shall eat the flesh in that night , roast with fire , and unleavened bread ; [ and ] with bitter [ herbs ] they shall eat it .
02_EXO_12_09 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 .
02_EXO_12_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 .
02_EXO_12_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 .
02_EXO_12_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 .
02_EXO_12_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 .
02_EXO_12_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 .
02_EXO_12_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 .
02_EXO_12_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 .
02_EXO_12_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 .
02_EXO_12_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 .
02_EXO_12_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 .
02_EXO_12_20 Ye shall eat nothing leavened ; in all your habitations shall ye eat unleavened bread .
02_EXO_12_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 .
02_EXO_12_22 And ye shall take a bunch of hyssop , and dip [ it ] in the blood that [ is ] in the basin , and strike the lintel and the two side posts with the blood that [ is ] in the basin ; and none of you shall go out at the door of his house until the morning .
02_EXO_12_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 ] .
02_EXO_12_24 And ye shall observe this thing for an ordinance to thee and to thy sons for ever .
02_EXO_12_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 .
02_EXO_12_26 And it shall come to pass , when your children shall say unto you , What mean ye by this service ?
02_EXO_12_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 .
02_EXO_12_28 And the children of Israel went away , and did as the LORD had commanded Moses and Aaron , so did they .
02_EXO_12_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 .
02_EXO_12_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 .
02_EXO_12_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 .
02_EXO_12_32 Also take your flocks and your herds , as ye have said , and be gone ; and bless me also .
02_EXO_12_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 ] .
02_EXO_12_34 And the people took their dough before it was leavened , their kneadingtroughs being bound up in their clothes upon their shoulders .
02_EXO_12_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 :
02_EXO_12_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 .
02_EXO_12_37 And the children of Israel journeyed from Rameses to Succoth , about six hundred thousand on foot [ that were ] men , beside children .
02_EXO_12_38 And a mixed multitude went up also with them ; and flocks , and herds , [ even ] very much cattle .
02_EXO_12_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 .
02_EXO_12_40 Now the sojourning of the children of Israel , who dwelt in Egypt , [ was ] four hundred and thirty years .
02_EXO_12_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 .
02_EXO_12_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 .
02_EXO_12_43 And the LORD said unto Moses and Aaron , This [ is ] the ordinance of the passover : There shall no stranger eat thereof :
02_EXO_12_44 But every man's servant that is bought for money , when thou hast circumcised him , then shall he eat thereof .
02_EXO_12_45 A foreigner and an hired servant shall not eat thereof .
02_EXO_12_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 .
02_EXO_12_47 All the congregation of Israel shall keep it .
02_EXO_12_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 .
02_EXO_12_49 One law shall be to him that is homeborn , and unto the stranger that sojourneth among you .
02_EXO_12_50 Thus did all the children of Israel ; as the LORD commanded Moses and Aaron , so did they .
02_EXO_12_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 .
