02:012:020 Ye shall eat nothing leavened; in all your
habitations shall
ye
eat unleavened bread.
02:012:021 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.
02:012:022 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.
02:012:023 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.
02:012:024 And ye shall observe this thing for an
ordinance to thee and
to
thy sons for ever.
02:012:025 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.
02:012:026 And it shall come to pass, when your children
shall say unto
you,
What mean ye by this service?
02:012:027 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.
02:012:028 And the children of Israel went away, and
did as the lord had
commanded
Moses and Aaron, so did they.
02:012:029 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.
02:012:030 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.
02:012:031 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.
02:012:032 Also take your flocks and your herds, as
ye have said, and be
gone;
and bless me also.
02:012:033 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.
02:012:034 And the people took their dough before
it was leavened, their
kneadingtroughs
being bound up in their clothes upon their
shoulders.
