EXODUS · Chapter 12
12:1 And the LORD spoke unto Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt saying,
12:2 This month shall be unto you the beginning of months: it shall
be the first month of the year to you.
12:3 Speak all of you 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:
12:4 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.
12:5 Your lamb shall be without blemish, a male of the first year:
all of you shall take it out from the sheep, or from the goats:
12:6 And all of you 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.
12:7 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.
12:8 And they shall eat the flesh in that night, roast with fire, and
unleavened bread; and with bitter herbs they shall eat it.
12:9 Eat not of it raw, nor sodden at all with water, but roast with
fire; his head with his legs, and with the inwards thereof.
12:10 And all of you shall let nothing of it remain until the morning;
and that which remains of it until the morning all of you shall burn with
fire.
12:11 And thus shall all of you eat it; with your loins girded, your
shoes on your feet, and your staff in your hand; and all of you shall eat
it in haste: it is the LORD's passover.
12:12 For I will pass through the land of Egypt this night, and will
strike 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.
12:13 And the blood shall be to you for a token upon the houses where
all of you 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 strike the land of
Egypt.
12:14 And this day shall be unto you for a memorial; and all of you
shall keep it a feast to the LORD throughout your generations; all of you
shall keep it a feast by an ordinance for ever.
12:15 Seven days shall all of you eat unleavened bread; even the first
day all of you shall put away leaven out of your houses: for whosoever
eats leavened bread from the first day until the seventh day, that soul
shall be cut off from Israel.
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.
12:17 And all of you shall observe the feast of unleavened bread; for
in this very same day have I brought your armies out of the land of Egypt:
therefore shall all of you observe this day in your generations by an ordinance
for ever.
12:18 In the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month at even,
all of you shall eat unleavened bread, until the one and twentieth day
of the month at even.
12:19 Seven days shall there be no leaven found in your houses: for
whosoever eats 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.
12:20 All of you shall eat nothing leavened; in all your habitations
shall all of you eat unleavened bread.
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.
12:22 And all of you 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.
12:23 For the LORD will pass through to strike the Egyptians; and when
he sees 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 strike you.
12:24 And all of you shall observe this thing for an ordinance to you
and to your sons for ever.
12:25 And it shall come to pass, when all of you be come to the land
which the LORD will give you, according as he has promised, that all of
you shall keep this service.
12:26 And it shall come to pass, when your children shall say unto
you, What mean all of you by this service?
12:27 That all of you 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 stroke the Egyptians, and delivered our houses. And the people
bowed the head and worshipped.
12:28 And the children of Israel went away, and did as the LORD had
commanded Moses and Aaron, so did they.
12:29 And it came to pass, that at midnight the LORD stroke 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.
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.
12:31 And he called for Moses and Aaron by night, and said, Rise up,
and get you forth from among my people, both all of you and the children
of Israel; and go, serve the LORD, as all of you have said.
12:32 Also take your flocks and your herds, as all of you have said,
and be gone; and bless me also.
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.
12:34 And the people took their dough before it was leavened, their
kneading troughs being bound up in their clothes upon their shoulders.
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:
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.
12:37 And the children of Israel journeyed from Rameses to Succoth,
about six hundred thousand on foot that were men, beside children.
12:38 And a mixed multitude went up also with them; and flocks, and
herds, even very much cattle.
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.
12:40 Now the sojourning of the children of Israel, who dwelt in Egypt,
was four hundred and thirty years.
12:41 And it came to pass at the end of the four hundred and thirty
years, even the very same day it came to pass, that all the hosts of the
LORD went out from the land of Egypt.
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.
12:43 And the LORD said unto Moses and Aaron, This is the ordinance
of the passover: There shall no stranger eat thereof:
12:44 But every man's servant that is bought for money, when you have
circumcised him, then shall he eat thereof.
12:45 A foreigner and an hired servant shall not eat thereof.
12:46 In one house shall it be eaten; you shall not carry forth ought
of the flesh abroad out of the house; neither shall all of you break a
bone thereof.
12:47 All the congregation of Israel shall keep it.
12:48 And when a stranger shall sojourn with you, 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.
12:49 One law shall be to him that is native, and unto the stranger
that sojourns among you.
12:50 Thus did all the children of Israel; as the LORD commanded Moses
and Aaron, so did they.
12:51 And it came to pass the very same day, that the LORD did bring
the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt by their armies.
