12:1-14 "And the LORD spake unto Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt,
saying, 2) This month shall be unto you the beginning of months: it shall
be the first month of the year to you. 3) Speak ye unto all the congregation
of Israel, saying, In the tenth day of this month they shall take to them
every man a lamb, according to the house of their fathers, a lamb for an
house: 4) And if the household be too little for the lamb, let him and
his neighbour next unto his house take it according to the number of the
souls; every man according to his eating shall make your count for the
lamb. 5) Your lamb shall be without blemish, a male of the first year:
ye shall take it out from the sheep, or from the goats: 6) And ye shall
keep it up until the fourteenth day of the same month: and the whole assembly
of the congregation of Israel shall kill it in the evening. 7) And they
shall take of the blood, and strike it on the two side posts and on the
upper door post of the houses, wherein they shall eat it. 8) And they shall
eat the flesh in that night, roast with fire, and unleavened bread; and
with bitter herbs they shall eat it. 9) Eat not of it raw, nor sodden at
all with water, but roast with fire; his head with his legs, and with the
purtenance thereof. 10) And ye shall let nothing of it remain until the
morning; and that which remaineth of it until the morning ye shall burn
with fire. 11) And thus shall ye eat it; with your loins girded, your shoes
on your feet, and your staff in your hand; and ye shall eat it in haste:
it is the LORD'S passover. 12) For I will pass through the land of Egypt
this night, and will smite all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both
man and beast; and against all the gods of Egypt I will execute judgment:
I am the LORD. 13) And the blood shall be to you for a token upon the houses
where ye are: and when I see the blood, I will pass over you, and the plague
shall not be upon you to destroy you, when I smite the land of Egypt. 14)
And this day shall be unto you for a memorial; and ye shall keep it a feast
to the LORD throughout your generations; ye shall keep it a feast by an
ordinance for ever."
