The institution of the Passover
1THE LORD said to Moses and Aaron in Egypt:
2“This month is to be for you the first of the months; you are to make it the first month of the year.
3Say to the whole community of Israel: On the tenth day of this month let each man procure a lamb or kid for his family, one for each household,
4but if a household is too small for one lamb or kid, then, taking into account the number of persons, the man and his nearest neighbour may take one between them. They are to share the cost according to the amount each person eats.
5Your animal, taken either from the sheep or the goats, must be without blemish, a yearling male.
6Have it in safe keeping until the fourteenth day of this month, and then all the assembled community of Israel must slaughter the victims between dusk and dark.
7They must take some of the blood and smear it on the two doorposts and on the lintel of the houses in which they eat the victims.
8On that night they must eat the flesh roasted on the fire; they must eat it with unleavened bread and bitter herbs.
9You are not to eat any of it raw or even boiled in water, but roasted: head, shins, and entrails.
10You are not to leave any of it till morning; anything left over until morning must be destroyed by fire.
11“This is the way in which you are to eat it: have your belt fastened, sandals on your feet, and your staff in your hand, and you must eat in urgent haste. It is the LORD's Passover.
12On that night I shall pass through the land of Egypt and kill every firstborn of man and beast. Thus I shall execute judgement, I the LORD, against all the gods of Egypt.
13As for you, the blood will be a sign on the houses in which you are: when I see the blood I shall pass over you; when I strike Egypt, the mortal blow will not touch you.
14“You are to keep this day as a day of remembrance, and make it a pilgrim-feast, a festival of the LORD; generation after generation you are to observe it as a statute for all time.
15For seven days you are to eat unleavened bread. On the very first day you must rid your houses of leaven; from the first day to the seventh anyone who eats leavened bread is to be expelled from Israel.
16On the first day there is to be a sacred assembly and on the seventh day a sacred assembly: on these days no work is to be done, except what must be done to provide food for everyone; only that will be allowed.
17You are to observe the feast of Unleavened Bread because it was on this very day that I brought you out of Egypt in your tribal hosts. Observe this day from generation to generation as a statute for all time.
18“You are to eat unleavened bread in the first month from the evening which begins the fourteenth day until the evening which begins the twenty-first day.
19For seven days no leaven must be found in your houses; anyone who eats anything fermented is to be expelled from the community of Israel, be he foreigner or native.
20You must eat nothing fermented; wherever you live, you must eat unleavened bread.”
21Moses summoned all the elders of Israel and said, “Go at once, procure lambs for your families, and slaughter the Passover.
22Then take a bunch of marjoram, dip it in the blood in the basin, and smear some blood from the basin on the lintel and the two doorposts. Nobody may go out through the door of his house till morning.
23The LORD will go throughout Egypt and strike it, but when he sees the blood on the lintel and the two doorposts, he will pass over that door and not let the destroyer enter to strike you.
24You are to observe this as a statute for you and your children for all time;
25when you enter the land which the LORD will give you as he promised, you are to observe this rite.
26When your children ask you, ‘What is the meaning of this rite?’
27you must say, ‘It is the LORD's Passover, for he passed over the houses of the Israelites in Egypt when he struck the Egyptians and spared our houses.’” The people bowed low in worship.
28The Israelites went and did exactly as the LORD had commanded Moses and Aaron;
29and by midnight the LORD had struck down all the firstborn in Egypt, from the firstborn of Pharaoh on his throne to the firstborn of the prisoner in the dungeon, besides the firstborn of cattle.
30Before night was over Pharaoh rose, he and all his courtiers and all the Egyptians, and there was great wailing, for not a house in Egypt was without its dead.
31Pharaoh summoned Moses and Aaron while it was still night and said, “Up with you! Be off, and leave my people, you and the Israelites. Go and worship the LORD, as you request;
32take your sheep and cattle, and go; and ask God's blessing on me also.”
33The Egyptians urged on the people and hurried them out of the country, “or else”, they said, “we shall all be dead”.
34The people picked up their dough before it was leavened, wrapped their kneading troughs in their cloaks, and slung them on their shoulders.
35Meanwhile, as Moses had told them, the Israelites had asked the Egyptians for silver and gold jewellery and for clothing.
36Because the LORD had made the Egyptians well disposed towards them, they let the Israelites have whatever they asked; in this way the Egyptians were plundered.
The exodus from Egypt
37THE Israelites set out from Rameses on the way to Succoth, about six hundred thousand men on foot, as well as women and children.
38With them too went a large company of others, and animals in great numbers, both flocks and herds.
39The dough they had brought from Egypt they baked into unleavened loaves of bread, because there was no leaven; for they had been driven out of Egypt and had had no time even to get food ready for themselves.
40The Israelites had been settled in Egypt for four hundred and thirty years.
41At the end of the four hundred and thirty years to the very day, all the tribes of the LORD came out of Egypt.
42This was the night when the LORD kept vigil to bring them out of Egypt. It is the LORD's night, a vigil for all Israelites generation after generation.
43The LORD said to Moses and Aaron: “This is the statute for the Passover: No foreigner may partake of it;
44any bought slave may partake provided you have circumcised him;
45no visitor or hired man may partake of it.
46Each Passover victim must be eaten inside one house, and you must not take any of the flesh outside. You must not break any of its bones.
47The whole community of Israel is to keep this feast.
48“If aliens settled among you keep the Passover to the LORD, every male among them must first be circumcised, and then he can take part; he will rank as native-born. No male who is uncircumcised may eat of it.
49The same law will apply both to the native-born and to the alien who is living among you.”
50All the Israelites did exactly as the LORD had commanded Moses and Aaron;
51and on that very day the LORD brought the Israelites out of Egypt mustered in their tribal hosts.
