Part 12

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.

02:012:035 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:

02:012:036 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.

02:012:037 And the children of Israel journeyed from Rameses to Succoth, about six hundred thousand on foot that were men, beside children.

02:012:038 And a mixed multitude went up also with them; and flocks, and herds, even very much cattle.

02:012:039 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.

02:012:040 Now the sojourning of the children of Israel, who dwelt in Egypt, was four hundred and thirty years.

02:012:041 And it came to pass at the end of the four hundred and thirty years, even the selfsame day it came to pass, that all the hosts of the LORD went out from the land of Egypt.

02:012:042 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.

02:012:043 And the LORD said unto Moses and Aaron, This is the ordinance of the passover: There shall no stranger eat thereof:

02:012:044 But every man's servant that is bought for money, when thou hast circumcised him, then shall he eat thereof.

02:012:045 A foreigner and an hired servant shall not eat thereof.

02:012:046 In one house shall it be eaten; thou shalt not carry forth ought of the flesh abroad out of the house; neither shall ye break a bone thereof.

02:012:047 All the congregation of Israel shall keep it.

02:012:048 And when a stranger shall sojourn with thee, 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.

02:012:049 One law shall be to him that is homeborn, and unto the stranger that sojourneth among you.

02:012:050 Thus did all the children of Israel; as the LORD commanded Moses and Aaron, so did they.
