1 - And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses and unto Aaron, in the land of Egypt, saying,

2 - `This month <FI>is<Fi> to you the chief of months--it <FI>is<Fi> the first to you of the months of the year;

3 - speak ye unto all the company of Israel, saying, In the tenth of this month--they take to them each man a lamb for the house of the fathers, a lamb for a house.

4 - `(And if the household be too few for a lamb, then hath he taken, he and his neighbour who is near unto his house, for the number of persons, each according to his eating ye do count for the lamb,)

5 - a lamb, a perfect one, a male, a son of a year, let be to you; from the sheep or from the goats ye do take <FI>it<Fi> .

6 - `And it hath become a charge to you, until the fourteenth day of this month, and the whole assembly of the company of Israel have slaughtered it between the evenings;

7 - and they have taken of the blood, and have put on the two side-posts, and on the lintel over the houses in which they eat it.

8 - `And they have eaten the flesh in this night, roast with fire; with unleavened things and bitters they do eat it;

9 - ye do not eat of it raw, or boiled at all in water, but roast with fire, its head with its legs, and with its inwards;

10 - and ye do not leave of it till morning, and that which is remaining of it till morning with fire ye do burn.

11 - `And thus ye do eat it: your loins girded, your sandals on your feet, and your staff in your hand, and ye have eaten it in haste; it is Jehovah's passover,

12 - and I have passed over through the land of Egypt during this night, and have smitten every first-born in the land of Egypt, from man even unto beast, and on all the gods of Egypt I do judgments; I <FI>am<Fi> Jehovah.

13 - `And the blood hath become a sign for you on the houses where ye <FI>are<Fi> , and I have seen the blood, and have passed over you, and a plague is not on you for destruction in My smiting in the land of Egypt.

14 - `And this day hath become to you a memorial, and ye have kept it a feast to Jehovah to your generations; --a statute age-during; ye keep it a feast.

15 - Seven days ye eat unleavened things; only--in the first day ye cause leaven to cease out of your houses; for any one eating anything fermented from the first day till the seventh day, even that person hath been cut off from Israel.

16 - `And in the first day <FI>is<Fi> a holy convocation, and in the seventh day ye have a holy convocation; any work is not done in them, only that which is eaten by any person--it alone is done by you,

17 - and ye have observed the unleavened things, for in this self-same day I have brought out your hosts from the land of Egypt, and ye have observed this day to your generations--a statute age-during.

18 - `In the first <FI>month<Fi> , in the fourteenth day of the month, in the evening, ye do eat unleavened things until the one and twentieth day of the month, at evening;

19 - seven days leaven is not found in your houses, for any <FI>one<Fi> eating anything fermented--that person hath been cut off from the company of Israel, among the sojourners or among the natives of the land;

20 - anything fermented ye do not eat, in all your dwellings ye do eat unleavened things.'

21 - And Moses calleth for all the elders of Israel, and saith unto them, `Draw out and take for yourselves <FI>from<Fi> the flock, for your families, and slaughter the passover-sacrifice;

22 - and ye have taken a bunch of hyssop, and have dipped <FI>it<Fi> in the blood which <FI>is<Fi> in the basin, and have struck <FI>it<Fi> on the lintel, and on the two side-posts, from the blood which <FI>is<Fi> in the basin, and ye, ye go not out each from the opening of his house till morning.

23 - `And Jehovah hath passed on to smite the Egyptians, and hath seen the blood on the lintel, and on the two side-posts, and Jehovah hath passed over the opening, and doth not permit the destruction to come into your houses to smite.

24 - `And ye have observed this thing, for a statute to thee, and to thy sons--unto the age;

25 - and it hath been, when ye come in unto the land which Jehovah giveth to you, as He hath spoken, that ye have kept this service;

26 - and it hath come to pass when your sons say unto you, What <FI>is<Fi> this service ye have?

27 - that ye have said, A sacrifice of passover it <FI>is<Fi> to Jehovah, who passed over the houses of the sons of Israel in Egypt, in His smiting the Egyptians, and our houses He delivered.'

28 - And the people bow and do obeisance, and the sons of Israel go and do as Jehovah commanded Moses and Aaron; so have they done.

29 - And it cometh to pass, at midnight, that Jehovah hath smitten every first-born in the land of Egypt, from the first-born of Pharaoh who is sitting on his throne, unto the first-born of the captive who <FI>is<Fi> in the prison-house, and every first-born of beasts.

30 - And Pharaoh riseth by night, he and all his servants, and all the Egyptians, and there is a great cry in Egypt, for there is not a house where there is not <FI>one<Fi> dead,

31 - and he calleth for Moses and for Aaron by night, and saith, `Rise, go out from the midst of my people, both ye and the sons of Israel, and go, serve Jehovah according to your word;

32 - both your flock and your herd take ye, as ye have spoken, and go; then ye have blessed also me.'

33 - And the Egyptians are urgent on the people, hasting to send them away out of the land, for they said, `We are all dead;'

34 - and the people taketh up its dough before it is fermented, their kneading-troughs <FI>are<Fi> bound up in their garments on their shoulder.

35 - And the sons of Israel have done according to the word of Moses, and they ask from the Egyptians vessels of silver and vessels of gold, and garments;

36 - and Jehovah hath given the grace of the people in the eyes of the Egyptians, and they cause them to ask, and they spoil the Egyptians.

37 - And the sons of Israel journey from Rameses to Succoth, about six hundred thousand men on foot, apart from infants;

38 - and a great rabble also hath gone up with them, and flock and herd--very much cattle.

39 - And they bake with the dough which they have brought out from Egypt unleavened cakes, for it hath not fermented; for they have been cast out of Egypt, and have not been able to delay, and also provision they have not made for themselves.

40 - And the dwelling of the sons of Israel which they have dwelt in Egypt <FI>is<Fi> four hundred and thirty years;

41 - and it cometh to pass, at the end of four hundred and thirty years--yea, it cometh to pass in this self-same day--all the hosts of Jehovah have gone out from the land of Egypt.

42 - A night of watchings it <FI>is<Fi> to Jehovah, to bring them out from the land of Egypt; it <FI>is<Fi> this night to Jehovah of watchings to all the sons of Israel to their generations.

43 - And Jehovah saith unto Moses and Aaron, `This <FI>is<Fi> a statute of the passover; Any son of a stranger doth not eat of it;

44 - and any man's servant, the purchase of money, when thou hast circumcised him--then he doth eat of it;

45 - a settler or hired servant doth not eat of it;

46 - in one house it is eaten, thou dost not carry out of the house <FI>any<Fi> of the flesh without, and a bone ye do not break of it;

47 - all the company of Israel do keep it.

48 - `And when a sojourner sojourneth with thee, and hath made a passover to Jehovah, every male of his <FI>is<Fi> to be circumcised, and then he doth come near to keep it, and he hath been as a native of the land, but any uncircumcised one doth not eat of it;

49 - one law is to a native, and to a sojourner who is sojourning in your midst.'

50 - And all the sons of Israel do as Jehovah commanded Moses and Aaron; so have they done.

51 - And it cometh to pass in this self-same day, Jehovah hath brought out the sons of Israel from the land of Egypt, by their hosts.
