12:1 And the LORD 3068 spake 559 8799 unto Moses 4872 and Aaron 175 in the land 776 of Egypt 4714, saying 559 8800,

12:2 This month 2320 [shall be] unto you the beginning 7218 of months 2320: it [shall be] the first 7223 month 2320 of the year 8141 to you.

12:3 Speak 1696 8761 ye unto all the congregation 5712 of Israel 3478, saying 559 8800, In the tenth 6218 [day] of this month 2320 they shall take 3947 8799 to them every man 376 a lamb 7716, according to the house 1004 of [their] fathers 1, a lamb 7716 for an house 1004:(lamb: or, kid)

12:4 And if the household 1004 be 1961 8800 too little 4591 8799 for the lamb 7716, let him and his neighbour 7934 next 7138 unto his house 1004 take 3947 8804 [it] according to the number 4373 of the souls 5315; every man 376 according 6310 to his eating 400 shall make your count 3699 8799 for the lamb 7716.

12:5 Your lamb 7716 shall be without blemish 8549, a male 2145 of the first 1121 year 8141: ye shall take 3947 8799 [it] out from the sheep 3532, or from the goats 5795:(of…: Heb. son of a year)

12:6 And ye shall keep 4931 it up until the fourteenth 702 6240 day 3117 of the same month 2320: and the whole 3605 assembly 6951 of the congregation 5712 of Israel 3478 shall kill 7819 8804 it in 996 the evening 6153.(in…: Heb. between the two evenings)

12:7 And they shall take 3947 8804 of the blood 1818, and strike 5414 8804 [it] on the two 8147 side posts 4201 and on the upper door post 4947 of the houses 1004, wherein they shall eat 398 8799 it.

12:8 And they shall eat 398 8804 the flesh 1320 in that night 3915, roast 6748 with fire 784, and unleavened bread 4682; [and] with bitter 4844 [herbs] they shall eat 398 8799 it.

12:9 Eat 398 8799 not of it raw 4995, nor sodden 1310 8794 1311 at all with water 4325, but roast 6748 [with] fire 784; his head 7218 with his legs 3767, and with the purtenance 7130 thereof.

12:10 And ye shall let nothing of it remain 3498 8686 until the morning 1242; and that which remaineth 3498 8737 of it until the morning 1242 ye shall burn 8313 8799 with fire 784.

12:11 And thus 3602 shall ye eat 398 8799 it; [with] your loins 4975 girded 2296 8803, your shoes 5275 on your feet 7272, and your staff 4731 in your hand 3027; and ye shall eat 398 8804 it in haste 2649: it [is] the LORD'S 3068 passover 6453.

12:12 For I will pass 5674 8804 through the land 776 of Egypt 4714 this night 3915, and will smite 5221 8689 all the firstborn 1060 in the land 776 of Egypt 4714, both man 120 and beast 929; and against all the gods 430 of Egypt 4714 I will execute 6213 8799 judgment 8201: I [am] the LORD 3068.(gods: or, princes)

12:13 And the blood 1818 shall be to you for a token 226 upon the houses 1004 where ye [are]: and when I see 7200 8804 the blood 1818, I will pass 6452 8804 over you, and the plague 5063 shall not be upon you to destroy 4889 [you], when I smite 5221 8687 the land 776 of Egypt 4714.(to destroy…: Heb. for a destruction)

12:14 And this day 3117 shall be unto you for a memorial 2146; and ye shall keep 2287 8804 it a feast 2282 to the LORD 3068 throughout your generations 1755; ye shall keep it a feast 2287 8799 by an ordinance 2708 for ever 5769.

12:15 Seven 7651 days 3117 shall ye eat 398 8799 unleavened bread 4682; even 389 the first 7223 day 3117 ye shall put away 7673 8686 leaven 7603 out of your houses 1004: for whosoever eateth 398 8802 leavened bread 2557 from the first 7223 day 3117 until the seventh 7637 day 3117, that soul 5315 shall be cut 3772 8738 off from Israel 3478.

12:16 And in the first 7223 day 3117 [there shall be] an holy 6944 convocation 4744, and in the seventh 7637 day 3117 there shall be an holy 6944 convocation 4744 to you; no manner of work 4399 shall be done 6213 8735 in them, save 389 [that] which every man 5315 must eat 398 8735, that only may be done 6213 8735 of you.(man: Heb. soul)

12:17 And ye shall observe 8104 8804 [the feast of] unleavened bread 4682; for in this selfsame 6106 day 3117 have I brought 3318 8689 your armies 6635 out of the land 776 of Egypt 4714: therefore shall ye observe 8104 8804 this day 3117 in your generations 1755 by an ordinance 2708 for ever 5769.

12:18 In the first 7223 [month], on the fourteenth 6240 702 day 3117 of the month 2320 at even 6153, ye shall eat 398 8799 unleavened bread 4682, until the one 259 and twentieth 6242 day 3117 of the month 2320 at even 6153.

12:19 Seven 7651 days 3117 shall there be no leaven 7603 found 4672 8735 in your houses 1004: for whosoever eateth 398 8802 that which is leavened 2556 8688, even that soul 5315 shall be cut off 3772 8738 from the congregation 5712 of Israel 3478, whether he be a stranger 1616, or born 249 in the land 776.

12:20 Ye shall eat 398 8799 nothing leavened 2556 8688; in all your habitations 4186 shall ye eat 398 8799 unleavened bread 4682.

12:21 Then Moses 4872 called 7121 8799 for all the elders 2205 of Israel 3478, and said 559 8799 unto them, Draw out 4900 8798 and take 3947 8798 you a lamb 6629 according to your families 4940, and kill 7819 8798 the passover 6453.(lamb: or, kid)

12:22 And ye shall take 3947 8804 a bunch 92 of hyssop 231, and dip 2881 8804 [it] in the blood 1818 that [is] in the bason 5592, and strike 5060 8689 the lintel 4947 and the two 8147 side posts 4201 with the blood 1818 that [is] in the bason 5592; and none 376 of you shall go out 3318 8799 at the door 6607 of his house 1004 until the morning 1242.

12:23 For the LORD 3068 will pass through 5674 8804 to smite 5062 8800 the Egyptians 4714; and when he seeth 7200 8804 the blood 1818 upon the lintel 4947, and on the two 8147 side posts 4201, the LORD 3068 will pass over 6452 8804 the door 6607, and will not suffer 5414 8799 the destroyer 7843 8688 to come 935 8800 in unto your houses 1004 to smite 5062 8800 [you].

12:24 And ye shall observe 8104 8804 this thing 1697 for an ordinance 2706 to thee and to thy sons 1121 for 5704 ever 5769.

12:25 And it shall come to pass, when ye be come 935 8799 to the land 776 which the LORD 3068 will give 5414 8799 you, according as he hath promised 1696 8765, that ye shall keep 8104 8804 this service 5656.

12:26 And it shall come to pass, when your children 1121 shall say 559 8799 unto you, What mean ye by this service 5656?

12:27 That ye shall say 559 8804, It [is] the sacrifice 2077 of the LORD'S 3068 passover 6453, who passed 6452 8804 over the houses 1004 of the children 1121 of Israel 3478 in Egypt 4714, when he smote 5062 8800 the Egyptians 4714, and delivered 5337 8689 our houses 1004. And the people 5971 bowed the head 6915 8799 and worshipped 7812 8691.

12:28 And the children 1121 of Israel 3478 went away 3212 8799, and did 6213 8799 as the LORD 3068 had commanded 6680 8765 Moses 4872 and Aaron 175, so did 6213 8804 they.

12:29 And it came to pass, that at midnight 2677 3915 the LORD 3068 smote 5221 8689 all the firstborn 1060 in the land 776 of Egypt 4714, from the firstborn 1060 of Pharaoh 6547 that sat 3427 8802 on his throne 3678 unto the firstborn 1060 of the captive 7628 that [was] in the dungeon 1004 953; and all the firstborn 1060 of cattle 929.(dungeon: Heb. house of the pit)

12:30 And Pharaoh 6547 rose up 6965 8799 in the night 3915, he, and all his servants 5650, and all the Egyptians 4714; and there was a great 1419 cry 6818 in Egypt 4714; for [there was] not a house 1004 where [there was] not one dead 4191 8801.

12:31 And he called 7121 8799 for Moses 4872 and Aaron 175 by night 3915, and said 559 8799, Rise up 6965 8798, [and] get you forth 3318 8798 from among 8432 my people 5971, both ye and the children 1121 of Israel 3478; and go 3212 8798, serve 5647 8798 the LORD 3068, as ye have said 1696 8763.

12:32 Also take 3947 8798 your flocks 6629 and your herds 1241, as ye have said 1696 8765, and be gone 3212 8798; and bless 1288 8765 me also.

12:33 And the Egyptians 4714 were urgent 2388 8799 upon the people 5971, that they might send 7971 8763 them out of the land 776 in haste 4116 8763; for they said 559 8804, We [be] all dead 4191 8801 [men].

12:34 And the people 5971 took 5375 8799 their dough 1217 before it was leavened 2556 8799, their kneadingtroughs 4863 being bound up 6887 8803 in their clothes 8071 upon their shoulders 7926.(kneadingtroughs: or, dough)

12:35 And the children 1121 of Israel 3478 did 6213 8804 according to the word 1697 of Moses 4872; and they borrowed 7592 8799 of the Egyptians 4714 jewels 3627 of silver 3701, and jewels 3627 of gold 2091, and raiment 8071:

12:36 And the LORD 3068 gave 5414 8804 the people 5971 favour 2580 in the sight 5869 of the Egyptians 4714, so that they lent 7592 8686 unto them [such things as they required]. And they spoiled 5337 8762 the Egyptians 4714.

12:37 And the children 1121 of Israel 3478 journeyed 5265 8799 from Rameses 7486 to Succoth 5523, about six 8337 hundred 3967 thousand 505 on foot 7273 [that were] men 1397, beside 905 children 2945.

12:38 And a mixed 6154 multitude 7227 went up 5927 8804 also with them; and flocks 6629, and herds 1241, [even] very 3966 much 3515 cattle 4735.(a mixed…: Heb. a great mixture)

12:39 And they baked 644 8799 unleavened 4682 cakes 5692 of the dough 1217 which they brought forth 3318 8689 out of Egypt 4714, for it was not leavened 2556 8804; because they were thrust out 1644 8795 of Egypt 4714, and could 3201 8804 not tarry 4102 8699, neither had they prepared 6213 8804 for themselves any victual 6720.

12:40 Now the sojourning 4186 of the children 1121 of Israel 3478, who dwelt 3427 8804 in Egypt 4714, [was] four 702 hundred 3967 8141 and thirty 7970 years 8141.

12:41 And it came to pass at the end 7093 of the four 702 hundred 3967 8141 and thirty 7970 years 8141, even the selfsame 6106 day 3117 it came to pass, that all the hosts 6635 of the LORD 3068 went out 3318 8804 from the land 776 of Egypt 4714.

12:42 It [is] a night 3915 to be much observed 8107 unto the LORD 3068 for bringing 3318 8687 them out from the land 776 of Egypt 4714: this [is] that night 3915 of the LORD 3068 to be observed 8107 of all the children 1121 of Israel 3478 in their generations 1755.(a night…: Heb. a night of observations)

12:43 And the LORD 3068 said 559 8799 unto Moses 4872 and Aaron 175, This [is] the ordinance 2708 of the passover 6453: There shall no stranger 1121 5236 eat 398 8799 thereof:

12:44 But every man's 376 servant 5650 that is bought 4736 for money 3701, when thou hast circumcised 4135 8804 him, then shall he eat 398 8799 thereof.

12:45 A foreigner 8453 and an hired servant 7916 shall not eat 398 8799 thereof.

12:46 In one 259 house 1004 shall it be eaten 398 8735; thou shalt not carry forth 3318 8686 ought of the flesh 1320 abroad 2351 out of the house 1004; neither shall ye break 7665 8799 a bone 6106 thereof.

12:47 All the congregation 5712 of Israel 3478 shall keep 6213 8799 it.(keep…: Heb. do it)

12:48 And when a stranger 1616 shall sojourn 1481 8799 with thee, and will keep 6213 8804 the passover 6453 to the LORD 3068, let all his males 2145 be circumcised 4135 8736, and then let him come near 7126 8799 and keep 6213 8800 it; and he shall be as one that is born 249 in the land 776: for no uncircumcised person 6189 shall eat 398 8799 thereof.

12:49 One 259 law 8451 shall be to him that is homeborn 249, and unto the stranger 1616 that sojourneth 1481 8802 among 8432 you.

12:50 Thus did 6213 8799 all the children 1121 of Israel 3478; as the LORD 3068 commanded 6680 8765 Moses 4872 and Aaron 175, so did 6213 8804 they.

12:51 And it came to pass the selfsame 6106 day 3117, [that] the LORD 3068 did bring 3318 8689 the children 1121 of Israel 3478 out of the land 776 of Egypt 4714 by their armies 6635.
