with the blood that is in the basin; and none of you shall go out of the door of his house until the morning.

      ²³For 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.

      ²⁴And ye shall observe this thing for an ordinance to thee and to thy sons for ever.

      ²⁵And 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.

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

      ²⁷that ye shall say: It is the sacrifice of the Lord's passover, for that He 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.

      ²⁸And the children of Israel went and did so; as the Lord had commanded Moses and Aaron, so did they.

      ²⁹And it came to pass at midnight, that the Lord smote all the first-born in the land of Egypt, from the first-born of Pharaoh that sat on his throne unto the first-born of the captive that was in the dungeon; and all the first-born of cattle.

      ³⁰And 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.

      ³¹And he called for Moses and Aaron by night and said: 'Rise up, get you forth from among my people, both ye and the children of Israel; and go, serve the Lord, as ye have said.

      ³²Take both your flocks and your herds, as ye have said, and be gone; and bless me also.'

      ³³And the Egyptians were urgent upon the people, to send them out of the land in haste; for they said: 'We are all dead men.'

      ³⁴And the people took their dough before it was leavened, their kneading-troughs being bound up in their clothes upon their shoulders.

      ³⁵And the children of Israel did according to the word of Moses; and they asked of the Egyptians jewels of silver, and jewels of gold, and raiment.

      ³⁶And the Lord gave the people favour in the sight of the Egyptians, so that they let them have what they asked. And they despoiled the Egyptians.

       ³⁷And the children of Israel journeyed from Rameses to Succoth, about six hundred thousand men on foot, beside children.

      ³⁸And a mixed multitude went up also with them; and flocks, and herds, even very much cattle.

      ³⁹And 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.

      ⁴⁰Now the time that the children of Israel dwelt in Egypt was four hundred and thirty years.

      ⁴¹And it came to pass at the end of four hundred and thirty years, even the selfsame day it came to pass, that all the host of the Lord went out from the land of Egypt.

      ⁴²It was a night of watching unto the Lord for bringing them out from the land of Egypt; this same night is a night of watching unto the Lord for all the children of Israel throughout their generations.

      ⁴³And the Lord said unto Moses and Aaron: 'This is the ordinance of the passover: there shall no alien eat thereof;

      ⁴⁴but every man's servant that is bought for money, when thou hast circumcised him, then shall he eat thereof.

      ⁴⁵A sojourner and a hired servant shall not eat thereof.

      ⁴⁶In one house shall it be eaten; thou shalt not carry forth aught of the flesh abroad out of the house; neither shall ye break a bone thereof.

      ⁴⁷All the congregation of Israel shall keep it.

      ⁴⁸And 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; but no uncircumcised person shall eat thereof.

      ⁴⁹One law shall be to him that is home-born, and unto the stranger that sojourneth among you.'

      ⁵⁰Thus did all the children of Israel; as the Lord commanded Moses and Aaron, so did they.

      ⁵¹And it came to pass the selfsame day that the Lord did bring the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt by their hosts.

      13And the Lord spoke unto Moses, saying:

      ²'Sanctify unto Me all the first-born, whatsoever openeth the womb among the children of Israel, both of man and of beast, it is Mine.'

      ³And Moses said unto the people: 'Remember this day, in which ye came out from Egypt, out of the house of bondage; for by strength of hand the Lord brought you out from this place; there shall no leavened bread be eaten.

      ⁴This day ye go forth in the month Abib.

      ⁵And it shall be when the Lord shall bring thee into the land of the Canaanite, and the Hittite, and the Amorite, and the Hivite, and the Jebusite, which He swore unto thy fathers to give thee, a land flowing with milk and honey, that thou shalt keep this service in this month.

      ⁶Seven days thou shalt eat unleavened bread, and in the seventh day shall be a feast to the Lord.

      ⁷Unleavened bread shall be eaten throughout the seven days; and there shall no leavened bread be seen with thee, neither shall there be leaven seen with thee, in all thy borders.

      ⁸And thou shalt tell thy son in that day, saying: It is because of that which the Lord did for me when I came forth out of Egypt.

      ⁹And it shall be for a sign unto thee upon thy hand, and for a memorial between thine eyes, that the law of the Lord may be in thy mouth; for with a strong hand hath the Lord brought thee out of Egypt.

      ¹⁰Thou shalt therefore keep this ordinance in its season from year to year.

      ¹¹And it shall be when the Lord shall bring thee into the land of the Canaanite, as He swore unto thee and to thy fathers, and shall give it thee,

      ¹²that thou shalt set apart unto the Lord all that openeth the womb; every firstling that is a male, which thou hast coming of a beast, shall be the Lord's.

      ¹³And every firstling of an ass thou shalt redeem with a lamb; and if thou wilt not redeem it, then thou shalt break its neck; and all the first-born of man among thy sons shalt thou redeem.

      ¹⁴And it shall be when thy son asketh thee in time to come, saying: What is this? that thou shalt say unto him: By strength of hand the Lord brought us out from Egypt, from the house of bondage;

      ¹⁵and it came to pass, when Pharaoh would hardly let us go that the Lord slew all the first-born in the land of Egypt, both the first-born of man, and the first-born of beast; therefore I sacrifice to the Lord all that openeth the womb, being males; but all the first-born of my sons I redeem.

      ¹⁶And it shall be for a sign upon thy hand, and for frontlets between thine eyes; for by strength of hand the Lord brought us forth out of Egypt.'

      ¹⁷And it came to pass, when Pharaoh had let the people go, that God led them not by the way of the land of the Philistines, although that was near; for God said: 'Lest peradventure the people repent when they see war, and they return to Egypt.'
