圣经The Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt, saying,
You should make this month the first month and the beginning of the year.
Command all the Israelites to say, On the tenth day of this month, each person shall take a lamb according to their father’s house, one for each household.
If there are too few people in a family to eat a lamb, I will have to take one with my neighbor next door. Prepare lambs according to their number and appetite.
You can take a one year old male lamb without any disability, either from a sheep or from a goat.
Keep it until the fourteenth day of this month, at dusk, all the Israelites will slaughter the lamb.
Each household should take some blood and apply it on the door frames and lintels of the houses where the lambs are eaten.
That night, I will eat lamb meat, roasted over fire, and eat it together with unleavened cakes and bitter vegetables.
Do not eat raw or boiled food. Bring your head, legs, and internal organs and grill them over fire.
Do not leave any left until morning. If left until morning, burn it with fire.
When you eat lambs, tie them around your waist, put shoes on your feet, hold a staff in your hand, and eat quickly. This is the Lord’s Passover.
Because that night I will patrol the land of Egypt and kill all the firstborn of the land, whether it be man or beast, and I will destroy all the gods of Egypt. I am Jehovah.
This blood will be marked on the houses where you live, and as soon as I see this blood, I will go over you. When I kill the firstborn of Egypt, the calamity will not come on you and destroy you.
Remember this day and keep it as a festival of the Lord, as an eternal ordinance for your generations to come.
You must eat unleavened bread for seven days. On the first day, remove the yeast from each of your households, for from the first day until the seventh day, anyone who eats bread with yeast will be cut off from Israel.
On the first day, you should have a holy assembly, and on the seventh day, you should also have a holy assembly. Within these two days, no work shall be done except for preparing what everyone needs to eat.
You shall observe the Feast of Unleavened Bread, for on this day I have brought out your army from the land of Egypt. Therefore, observe this day as an eternal ordinance for generations to come.
From the evening of the fourteenth day of the first month until the evening of the twenty-first day, you shall eat unleavened bread.
Within seven days, there shall be no yeast in your households, for anyone who eats anything with yeast, whether they be a stranger or a native, shall be cut off from the assembly of Israel.
You shall not eat anything fermented, and you shall eat unleavened bread in all your dwellings.
So Moses summoned all the elders of Israel and said to them, Take out the lambs according to your families and slaughter the Passover lambs.
Take a handful of hyssop, dip it in the blood from the basin, and hit it on the lintel and left and right door frames. Neither of you shall leave your own door until morning.
For the Lord will patrol and kill the Egyptians, and when he sees blood on the lintel and on the left and right frames of the door, he will pass over that door and will not let anyone who destroys enter your houses and kill you.
Keep this law as an eternal ordinance for you and your descendants.
In the future, when you come to the land that the Lord has promised you, you must observe this ritual.
Your children ask you, “What does this ritual mean?”?
And you shall say, This is an offering to the Lord for the Passover. When the Israelites were in Egypt, he killed the Egyptians, crossed over their houses, and saved our families. So the people lowered their heads and worshipped.
As the Lord commanded Moses and Aaron, so the Israelites did.
In the middle of the night, the Lord killed all the firstborn sons of the land of Egypt, from Pharaoh who sat on the throne to the firstborn sons of those who were imprisoned in prison, and all the firstborn livestock.
Pharaoh and all his servants, as well as all the people of Egypt, rose up by night. In Egypt, there is a great cry, and every family dies.
At night, Pharaoh summoned Moses and Aaron and said, “Get up, take you and the Israelites out of my people, and go and serve the Lord as you have said.”.
As you said, take your flocks and herds with you and bless me.
The Egyptians urged the people to leave the land quickly, because they said, We are all about to die.
The people took unravened dough, wrapped the kneading bowl in their clothes, and carried it on their shoulders.
The Israelites did as Moses said and asked the Egyptians for gold, silver, and clothing.
The Lord caused the people to find favor in the eyes of the Egyptians, so that they gave them what they wanted. They took away the wealth of the Egyptians.
The Israelites set out from Ramses and headed towards Succoth, with about 600000 men walking on foot, except for women and children.
There were many idle people, as well as flocks and herds of cattle, who went up with them.
They baked unleavened cakes using raw flour brought from Egypt. This dough was not initiated because they were forced to leave Egypt without delay and did not prepare any food for themselves.
The Israelites lived in Egypt for a total of 430 years.
On the day when four hundred and thirty years had passed, all the armies of the Lord came out of the land of Egypt.
This night is the night of the Lord, because the Lord led them out of the land of Egypt. Therefore, let us observe it to the Lord, which is to be observed by all Israel for generations to come.
The Lord said to Moses and Aaron, “This is the custom for the Passover: no foreigner shall eat this lamb.”.
But every servant who is bought with silver can eat it after being circumcised.
Both residents and hired workers are not allowed to eat.
It should be eaten in the same house, and no meat should be brought out of the house. Not a single bone of a lamb should be broken.
All the congregation of Israel shall observe this ritual.
If an outsider sojourns among you and wishes to keep the Passover with the Lord, all his men must be circumcised before he is allowed to come and observe it. He is also like a native, but no one who is uncircumcised shall eat this lamb.
Local people and outsiders residing among you are considered the same.
As the Lord commanded Moses and Aaron, so all Israel did.
On that same day, the Lord brought out the Israelites according to their armies from the land of Egypt.
