1The Lord <03068> said <0559> to <0413> Moses <04872> and Aaron <0175> in the land <0776> of Egypt <04714>,
2“This <02088> month <02320> is to be your beginning <07218> of months <02320>; it will be your first <07223> month <02320> of the year <08141>.
3Tell <01696> the whole <03605> community <05712> of Israel <03478>, ‘In the tenth <06218> day of this <02088> month <02320> they each <0376> must take <03947> a lamb <07716> for themselves according to their families <01>– a lamb <07716> for each household <01004>.
4If <0518> any household <01004> is too small <04591> for a lamb <07716>, the man <01931> and his next-door <01004> <0413> <07138> neighbor <07934> are to take <03947> a lamb according to the number <04373> of people <05315>– you will make your count <03699> for the lamb <07716> according <06310> to how much each one <0376> can eat <0400>.
5Your lamb <07716> must be perfect <08549>, a male <02145>, one year <08141> old <01121>; you may take <03947> it from <04480> the sheep <03532> or from <04480> the goats <05795>.
6You must care <04931> for it until <05704> the fourteenth <06240> <0702> day <03117> of this <02088> month <02320>, and then the whole <03605> community <05712> <06951> of Israel <03478> will kill <07819> it around <0996> sundown <06153>.
7They will take <03947> some of <04480> the blood <01818> and put <05414> it on <05921> the two <08147> side posts <04201> and top of the doorframe <04947> of the houses <01004> where <0834> they will eat <0398> it.
8They will eat <0398> the meat <01320> the same night <03915>; they will eat <0398> it roasted <06748> over the fire <0784> with bread made without yeast <04682> and with bitter herbs <04844>.
9Do not <0408> eat <0398> it raw <04995> or boiled <01310> <01311> in water <04325>, but <0518> roast <06748> it over the fire <0784> with its head <07218>, its legs <03767>, and its entrails <07130>.
10You must leave <03498> nothing <03808> until <05704> morning <01242>, but you must burn <08313> with fire <0784> whatever remains <03498> of <04480> it until <05704> morning <01242>.
11This <03602> is how you are to eat <0398> it– dressed to travel <02296> <04975>, your sandals <05275> on your feet <07272>, and your staff <04731> in your hand <03027>. You are to eat <0398> it in haste <02649>. It is the Lord’s <03068> Passover <06453>.
12I will pass through <05674> the land <0776> of Egypt <04714> in the same <02088> night <03915>, and I will attack <05221> all <03605> the firstborn <01060> in the land <0776> of Egypt <04714>, both of humans <0120> and of animals <0929>, and on all <03605> the gods <0430> of Egypt <04714> I will execute <06213> judgment <08201>. I <0589> am the Lord <03068>.
13The blood <01818> will be <01961> a sign <0226> for you on <05921> the houses <01004> where <08033> <0834> you <0859> are, so that when I see <07200> the blood <01818> I will pass <06452> over <05921> you, and this plague <05063> will not <03808> fall <01961> on you to destroy <04889> you when I attack <05221> the land <0776> of Egypt <04714>.
14This <02088> day <03117> will become <01961> a memorial <02146> for you, and you will celebrate <02287> it as a festival <02282> to the Lord <03068>– you will celebrate <02287> it perpetually <01755> as a lasting <05769> ordinance <02708>.
15For seven <07651> days <03117> you must eat <0398> bread made without yeast <04682>. Surely <0389> on the first <07223> day <03117> you must put away <07673> yeast <07603> from your houses <01004> because <03588> anyone <03605> who eats <0398> bread made with yeast <02557> from the first <07223> day <03117> to <05704> the seventh <07637> day <03117> will be cut off <03772> from Israel <03478>.
16On the first <07223> day <03117> there will be a holy <06944> convocation <04744>, and on the seventh <07637> day <03117> there will be <01961> a holy <06944> convocation <04744> for you. You must do <06213> no <03808> work <04399> of any kind <03605> on them, only <0389> what <0834> every <03605> person <05315> will eat <0398>– that <01931> alone <0905> may be prepared <06213> for you.
17So you will keep <08104> the Feast of Unleavened <04682> Bread, because <03588> on this very <06106> day <03117> I brought <03318> your regiments <06635> out <03318> from the land <0776> of Egypt <04714>, and so you must keep <08104> this <02088> day <03117> perpetually <01755> as a lasting <05769> ordinance <02708>.
18In the first <07223> month, from the fourteenth <06240> <0702> day <03117> of the month <02320>, in the evening <06153>, you will eat <0398> bread made without yeast <04682> until <05704> the twenty-first <06242> <0259> day <03117> of the month <02320> in the evening <06153>.
19For seven <07651> days <03117> yeast <07603> must not <03808> be found <04672> in your houses <01004>, for <03588> whoever <03605> eats <0398> what is made with yeast <02557>– that <01931> person <05315> will be cut off <03772> from the community <05712> of Israel <03478>, whether a foreigner <01616> or one born <0249> in the land <0776>.
20You will not <03808> eat <0398> anything <03605> made with yeast <02557>; in all <03605> the places where you live <04186> you must eat <0398> bread made without yeast <04682>.’”
21Then Moses <04872> summoned <07121> all <03605> the elders <02205> of Israel <03478>, and told <0559> them, “Go <04900> and select <03947> for yourselves a lamb <06629> or young goat for your families <04940>, and kill <07819> the Passover animals <06453>.
22Take <03947> a branch <092> of hyssop <0231>, dip <02881> it in the blood <01818> that <0834> is in the basin <05592>, and apply <05060> to <0413> the top of the doorframe <04947> and the two <08147> side posts <04201> some of <04480> the blood <01818> that <0834> is in the basin <05592>. Not <03808> one <0376> of you <0859> is to go out <03318> the door <06607> of his house <01004> until <05704> morning <01242>.
23For the Lord <03068> will pass through <05674> to strike <05062> Egypt <04713>, and when he sees <07200> the blood <01818> on <05921> the top of the doorframe <04947> and the two <08147> side posts <04201>, then the Lord <03068> will pass over <06452> the door <06607>, and he will not <03808> permit <05414> the destroyer <07843> to enter <0935> your houses <01004> to <0413> strike <05062> you.
24You must observe <08104> this <02088> event <01697> as an ordinance <02706> for you and for your children <01121> forever <05769> <05704>.
25When <03588> you enter <0935> the land <0776> that <0834> the Lord <03068> will give <05414> to <0413> you, just as <0834> he said <01696>, you must observe <08104> this <02063> ceremony <05656>.
26When <01961> your children <01121> ask <0559> you, ‘What <04100> does this <02063> ceremony <05656> mean to you?’–
27then you will say <0559>, ‘It is the sacrifice <02077> of the Lord’s <03068> Passover <06453>, when he passed <06452> over <05921> the houses <01004> of the Israelites <03478> <01121> in Egypt <04714>, when he struck <05062> Egypt <04713> and delivered <05337> our households <01004>.’” The people <05971> bowed down <06915> low to the ground,
28and the Israelites <03478> <01121> went away <01980> and did <06213> exactly as <0834> the Lord <03068> had commanded <06680> Moses <04872> and Aaron <0175>.
29It happened <01961> at midnight <03915> <02677>– the Lord <03068> attacked <05221> all <03605> the firstborn <01060> in the land <0776> of Egypt <04714>, from the firstborn <01060> of Pharaoh <06547> who sat <03427> on <05921> his throne <03678> to <05704> the firstborn <01060> of the captive <07628> who <0834> was in the prison <0953> <01004>, and all <03605> the firstborn <01060> of the cattle <0929>.
30Pharaoh <06547> got up <06965> in the night <03915>, along with all <03605> his <01931> servants <05650> and all <03605> Egypt <04713>, and there was <01961> a great <01419> cry <06818> in Egypt <04714>, for <03588> there was no <0369> house <01004> in which <0834> there <08033> was not <0369> someone dead <04191>.
31Pharaoh summoned <07121> Moses <04872> and Aaron <0175> in the night <03915> and said <0559>, “Get up <06965>, get out <03318> from among <08432> my people <05971>, both <01571> you <0859> and <01571> the Israelites <03478> <01121>! Go <01980>, serve <05647> the Lord <03068> as you have requested <01696>!
32Also <01571>, take <03947> your flocks <06629> and your herds <01241>, just as <0834> you have requested <01696>, and leave <01980>. But bless <01288> me also <01571>.”
33The Egyptians <04713> were urging <02388> the people <05971> on <05921>, in order to send <07971> them out of <04480> the land <0776> quickly <04116>, for <03588> they were saying <0559>, “We are all <03605> dead <04191>!”
34So the people <05971> took <05375> their dough <01217> before <02962> the yeast was added <02556>, with their kneading troughs <04863> bound up <06887> in their clothing <08071> on <05921> their shoulders <07926>.
35Now the Israelites <03478> <01121> had done <06213> as Moses <04872> told <01697> them– they had requested <07592> from the Egyptians <04713> silver <03701> and gold <02091> items <03627> and clothing <08071>.
36The Lord <03068> gave <05414> the people <05971> favor <02580> in the sight <05869> of the Egyptians <04713>, and they gave them whatever they wanted <07592>, and so they plundered <05337> Egypt <04713>.
37The Israelites <03478> <01121> journeyed <05265> from Rameses <07486> to Sukkoth <05523>. There were about 600,000 <0505> <03967> <08337> men <01397> on foot <07273>, plus <0905> their dependants <02945>.
38A mixed <06154> multitude <07227> also <01571> went up <05927> with <0854> them, and flocks <06629> and herds <01241>– a very <03966> large number <03515> of cattle <04735>.
39They baked <0644> cakes <05692> of bread without yeast <04682> using the dough <01217> they had brought <03318> from Egypt <04714>, for <03588> it was made without <03808> yeast <02556>– because <03588> they were thrust out <01644> of Egypt <04714> and were not <03808> able <03201> to delay <04102>, they could not <03808> prepare <06213> food <06720> for themselves either <01571>.
40Now the length of time <04186> the Israelites <03478> <01121> lived in <03427> Egypt <04714> was 430 <03967> <0702> <07970> years <08141> <08141>.
41At the end <07093> of the 430 <03967> <0702> <07970> years <08141> <08141>, on the very <06106> day <03117>, all <03605> the regiments <06635> of the Lord <03068> went out <03318> of the land <0776> of Egypt <04714>.
42It <01931> was a night <03915> of vigil <08107> for the Lord <03068> to bring <03318> them out <03318> from the land <0776> of Egypt <04714>, and so on this <02088> night <03915> all <03605> Israel <03478> <01121> is to keep the vigil <08107> to the Lord <03068> for generations <01755> to come.
43The Lord <03068> said <0559> to <0413> Moses <04872> and Aaron <0175>, “This <02063> is the ordinance <02708> of the Passover <06453>. No <03808> foreigner <05236> <01121> may share in eating <0398> it.
44But everyone’s <0376> <03605> servant <05650> who is bought <04736> for money <03701>, after you have circumcised <04135> him, may eat <0398> it.
45A foreigner <08453> and a hired worker <07916> must not <03808> eat <0398> it.
46It must be eaten <0398> in one <0259> house <01004>; you must not <03808> bring <03318> any <04480> of <04480> the meat <01320> outside <02351> the house <01004>, and you must not <03808> break <07665> a bone <06106> of it.
47The whole <03605> community <05712> of Israel <03478> must observe <06213> it.
48“When <03588> a foreigner <01616> lives <01481> with <0854> you and wants to observe <06213> the Passover <06453> to the Lord <03068>, all <03605> his males <02145> must be circumcised <04135>, and then <0227> he may approach <07126> and observe <06213> it, and he will be <01961> like one who is born <0249> in the land <0776>– but no <03808> uncircumcised person <06189> may eat <0398> of it.
49The same <0259> law <08451> will apply <01961> to the person who is native-born <0249> and to the foreigner <01616> who lives <01481> among <08432> you.”
50So all <03605> the Israelites <03478> <01121> did <06213> exactly as <0834> the Lord <03068> commanded <06680> Moses <04872> and Aaron <0175>.
51And on this <02088> very <06106> day <03117> the Lord <03068> brought <03318> the Israelites <03478> <01121> out of the land <0776> of Egypt <04714> by <05921> their regiments <06635>.
