Exodus 12:1-50

12:1

And the LORD
<03068>

spake
<0559> (8799)

unto Moses
<04872>

and Aaron
<0175>

in the land
<0776>

of Egypt
<04714>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

12:2

This month
<02320>

[shall be] unto you the beginning
<07218>

of months
<02320>_:

it [shall be] the first
<07223>

month
<02320>

of the year
<08141>

to you.

12:3

Speak
<01696> (8761)

ye unto all the congregation
<05712>

of Israel
<03478>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

In the tenth
<06218>

[day] of this month
<02320>

they shall take
<03947> (8799)

to them every man
<0376>

a lamb
<07716>_,

according to the house
<01004>

of [their] fathers
<01>_,

a lamb
<07716>

for an house
<01004>_:

{lamb: or, kid}

12:4

And if the household
<01004>

be
<01961> (8800)

too little
<04591> (8799)

for the lamb
<07716>_,

let him and his neighbour
<07934>

next
<07138>

unto his house
<01004>

take
<03947> (8804)

[it] according to the number
<04373>

of the souls
<05315>_;

every man
<0376>

according
<06310>

to his eating
<0400>

shall make your count
<03699> (8799)

for the lamb
<07716>_.

12:5

Your lamb
<07716>

shall be without blemish
<08549>_,

a male
<02145>

of the first
<01121>

year
<08141>_:

ye shall take
<03947> (8799)

[it] out from the sheep
<03532>_,

or from the goats
<05795>_:

{of...: Heb. son of a year}

12:6

And ye shall keep
<04931>

it up until the fourteenth
<0702> <06240>

day
<03117>

of the same month
<02320>_:

and the whole
<03605>

assembly
<06951>

of the congregation
<05712>

of Israel
<03478>

shall kill
<07819> (8804)

it in
<0996>

the evening
<06153>_.

{in...: Heb. between the two evenings}

12:7

And they shall take
<03947> (8804)

of the blood
<01818>_,

and strike
<05414> (8804)

[it] on the two
<08147>

side posts
<04201>

and on the upper door post
<04947>

of the houses
<01004>_,

wherein they shall eat
<0398> (8799)

it.

12:8

And they shall eat
<0398> (8804)

the flesh
<01320>

in that night
<03915>_,

roast
<06748>

with fire
<0784>_,

and unleavened bread
<04682>_;

[and] with bitter
<04844>

[herbs] they shall eat
<0398> (8799)

it.

12:9

Eat
<0398> (8799)

not of it raw
<04995>_,

nor sodden
<01310> (8794) <01311>

at all with water
<04325>_,

but roast
<06748>

[with] fire
<0784>_;

his head
<07218>

with his legs
<03767>_,

and with the purtenance
<07130>

thereof.

12:10

And ye shall let nothing of it remain
<03498> (8686)

until the morning
<01242>_;

and that which remaineth
<03498> (8737)

of it until the morning
<01242>

ye shall burn
<08313> (8799)

with fire
<0784>_.

12:11

And thus
<03602>

shall ye eat
<0398> (8799)

it; [with] your loins
<04975>

girded
<02296> (8803)_,

your shoes
<05275>

on your feet
<07272>_,

and your staff
<04731>

in your hand
<03027>_;

and ye shall eat
<0398> (8804)

it in haste
<02649>_:

it [is] the LORD'S
<03068>

passover
<06453>_.

12:12

For I will pass
<05674> (8804)

through the land
<0776>

of Egypt
<04714>

this night
<03915>_,

and will smite
<05221> (8689)

all the firstborn
<01060>

in the land
<0776>

of Egypt
<04714>_,

both man
<0120>

and beast
<0929>_;

and against all the gods
<0430>

of Egypt
<04714>

I will execute
<06213> (8799)

judgment
<08201>_:

I [am] the LORD
<03068>_.

{gods: or, princes}

12:13

And the blood
<01818>

shall be to you for a token
<0226>

upon the houses
<01004>

where ye [are]: and when I see
<07200> (8804)

the blood
<01818>_,

I will pass
<06452> (8804)

over you, and the plague
<05063>

shall not be upon you to destroy
<04889>

[you], when I smite
<05221> (8687)

the land
<0776>

of Egypt
<04714>_.

{to destroy...: Heb. for a destruction}

12:14

And this day
<03117>

shall be unto you for a memorial
<02146>_;

and ye shall keep
<02287> (8804)

it a feast
<02282>

to the LORD
<03068>

throughout your generations
<01755>_;

ye shall keep it a feast
<02287> (8799)

by an ordinance
<02708>

for ever
<05769>_.

12:15

Seven
<07651>

days
<03117>

shall ye eat
<0398> (8799)

unleavened bread
<04682>_;

even
<0389>

the first
<07223>

day
<03117>

ye shall put away
<07673> (8686)

leaven
<07603>

out of your houses
<01004>_:

for whosoever eateth
<0398> (8802)

leavened bread
<02557>

from the first
<07223>

day
<03117>

until the seventh
<07637>

day
<03117>_,

that soul
<05315>

shall be cut
<03772> (8738)

off from Israel
<03478>_.

12:16

And in the first
<07223>

day
<03117>

[there shall be] an holy
<06944>

convocation
<04744>_,

and in the seventh
<07637>

day
<03117>

there shall be an holy
<06944>

convocation
<04744>

to you; no manner of work
<04399>

shall be done
<06213> (8735)

in them, save
<0389>

[that] which every man
<05315>

must eat
<0398> (8735)_,

that only may be done
<06213> (8735)

of you. {man: Heb. soul}

12:17

And ye shall observe
<08104> (8804)

[the feast of] unleavened bread
<04682>_;

for in this selfsame
<06106>

day
<03117>

have I brought
<03318> (8689)

your armies
<06635>

out of the land
<0776>

of Egypt
<04714>_:

therefore shall ye observe
<08104> (8804)

this day
<03117>

in your generations
<01755>

by an ordinance
<02708>

for ever
<05769>_.

12:18

In the first
<07223>

[month], on the fourteenth
<06240> <0702>

day
<03117>

of the month
<02320>

at even
<06153>_,

ye shall eat
<0398> (8799)

unleavened bread
<04682>_,

until the one
<0259>

and twentieth
<06242>

day
<03117>

of the month
<02320>

at even
<06153>_.

12:19

Seven
<07651>

days
<03117>

shall there be no leaven
<07603>

found
<04672> (8735)

in your houses
<01004>_:

for whosoever eateth
<0398> (8802)

that which is leavened
<02556> (8688)_,

even that soul
<05315>

shall be cut off
<03772> (8738)

from the congregation
<05712>

of Israel
<03478>_,

whether he be a stranger
<01616>_,

or born
<0249>

in the land
<0776>_.

12:20

Ye shall eat
<0398> (8799)

nothing leavened
<02556> (8688)_;

in all your habitations
<04186>

shall ye eat
<0398> (8799)

unleavened bread
<04682>_.

12:21

Then Moses
<04872>

called
<07121> (8799)

for all the elders
<02205>

of Israel
<03478>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)

unto them, Draw out
<04900> (8798)

and take
<03947> (8798)

you a lamb
<06629>

according to your families
<04940>_,

and kill
<07819> (8798)

the passover
<06453>_.

{lamb: or, kid}

12:22

And ye shall take
<03947> (8804)

a bunch
<092>

of hyssop
<0231>_,

and dip
<02881> (8804)

[it] in the blood
<01818>

that [is] in the bason
<05592>_,

and strike
<05060> (8689)

the lintel
<04947>

and the two
<08147>

side posts
<04201>

with the blood
<01818>

that [is] in the bason
<05592>_;

and none
<0376>

of you shall go out
<03318> (8799)

at the door
<06607>

of his house
<01004>

until the morning
<01242>_.

12:23

For the LORD
<03068>

will pass through
<05674> (8804)

to smite
<05062> (8800)

the Egyptians
<04714>_;

and when he seeth
<07200> (8804)

the blood
<01818>

upon the lintel
<04947>_,

and on the two
<08147>

side posts
<04201>_,

the LORD
<03068>

will pass over
<06452> (8804)

the door
<06607>_,

and will not suffer
<05414> (8799)

the destroyer
<07843> (8688)

to come
<0935> (8800)

in unto your houses
<01004>

to smite
<05062> (8800)

[you].

12:24

And ye shall observe
<08104> (8804)

this thing
<01697>

for an ordinance
<02706>

to thee and to thy sons
<01121>

for
<05704>

ever
<05769>_.

12:25

And it shall come to pass, when ye be come
<0935> (8799)

to the land
<0776>

which the LORD
<03068>

will give
<05414> (8799)

you, according as he hath promised
<01696> (8765)_,

that ye shall keep
<08104> (8804)

this service
<05656>_.

12:26

And it shall come to pass, when your children
<01121>

shall say
<0559> (8799)

unto you, What mean ye by this service
<05656>_?

12:27

That ye shall say
<0559> (8804)_,

It [is] the sacrifice
<02077>

of the LORD'S
<03068>

passover
<06453>_,

who passed
<06452> (8804)

over the houses
<01004>

of the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>

in Egypt
<04714>_,

when he smote
<05062> (8800)

the Egyptians
<04714>_,

and delivered
<05337> (8689)

our houses
<01004>_.

And the people
<05971>

bowed the head
<06915> (8799)

and worshipped
<07812> (8691)_.

12:28

And the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>

went away
<03212> (8799)_,

and did
<06213> (8799)

as the LORD
<03068>

had commanded
<06680> (8765)

Moses
<04872>

and Aaron
<0175>_,

so did
<06213> (8804)

they.

12:29

And it came to pass, that at midnight
<02677> <03915>

the LORD
<03068>

smote
<05221> (8689)

all the firstborn
<01060>

in the land
<0776>

of Egypt
<04714>_,

from the firstborn
<01060>

of Pharaoh
<06547>

that sat
<03427> (8802)

on his throne
<03678>

unto the firstborn
<01060>

of the captive
<07628>

that [was] in the dungeon
<01004> <0953>_;

and all the firstborn
<01060>

of cattle
<0929>_.

{dungeon: Heb. house of the pit}

12:30

And Pharaoh
<06547>

rose up
<06965> (8799)

in the night
<03915>_,

he, and all his servants
<05650>_,

and all the Egyptians
<04714>_;

and there was a great
<01419>

cry
<06818>

in Egypt
<04714>_;

for [there was] not a house
<01004>

where [there was] not one dead
<04191> (8801)_.

12:31

And he called
<07121> (8799)

for Moses
<04872>

and Aaron
<0175>

by night
<03915>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

Rise up
<06965> (8798)_,

[and] get you forth
<03318> (8798)

from among
<08432>

my people
<05971>_,

both ye and the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>_;

and go
<03212> (8798)_,

serve
<05647> (8798)

the LORD
<03068>_,

as ye have said
<01696> (8763)_.

12:32

Also take
<03947> (8798)

your flocks
<06629>

and your herds
<01241>_,

as ye have said
<01696> (8765)_,

and be gone
<03212> (8798)_;

and bless
<01288> (8765)

me also.

12:33

And the Egyptians
<04714>

were urgent
<02388> (8799)

upon the people
<05971>_,

that they might send
<07971> (8763)

them out of the land
<0776>

in haste
<04116> (8763)_;

for they said
<0559> (8804)_,

We [be] all dead
<04191> (8801)

[men].

12:34

And the people
<05971>

took
<05375> (8799)

their dough
<01217>

before it was leavened
<02556> (8799)_,

their kneadingtroughs
<04863>

being bound up
<06887> (8803)

in their clothes
<08071>

upon their shoulders
<07926>_.

{kneadingtroughs: or, dough}

12:35

And the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>

did
<06213> (8804)

according to the word
<01697>

of Moses
<04872>_;

and they borrowed
<07592> (8799)

of the Egyptians
<04714>

jewels
<03627>

of silver
<03701>_,

and jewels
<03627>

of gold
<02091>_,

and raiment
<08071>_:

12:36

And the LORD
<03068>

gave
<05414> (8804)

the people
<05971>

favour
<02580>

in the sight
<05869>

of the Egyptians
<04714>_,

so that they lent
<07592> (8686)

unto them [such things as they required]. And they spoiled
<05337> (8762)

the Egyptians
<04714>_.

12:37

And the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>

journeyed
<05265> (8799)

from Rameses
<07486>

to Succoth
<05523>_,

about six
<08337>

hundred
<03967>

thousand
<0505>

on foot
<07273>

[that were] men
<01397>_,

beside
<0905>

children
<02945>_.

12:38

And a mixed
<06154>

multitude
<07227>

went up
<05927> (8804)

also with them; and flocks
<06629>_,

and herds
<01241>_,

[even] very
<03966>

much
<03515>

cattle
<04735>_.

{a mixed...: Heb. a great mixture}

12:39

And they baked
<0644> (8799)

unleavened
<04682>

cakes
<05692>

of the dough
<01217>

which they brought forth
<03318> (8689)

out of Egypt
<04714>_,

for it was not leavened
<02556> (8804)_;

because they were thrust out
<01644> (8795)

of Egypt
<04714>_,

and could
<03201> (8804)

not tarry
<04102> (8699)_,

neither had they prepared
<06213> (8804)

for themselves any victual
<06720>_.

12:40

Now the sojourning
<04186>

of the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>_,

who dwelt
<03427> (8804)

in Egypt
<04714>_,

[was] four
<0702>

hundred
<03967> <08141>

and thirty
<07970>

years
<08141>_.

12:41

And it came to pass at the end
<07093>

of the four
<0702>

hundred
<03967> <08141>

and thirty
<07970>

years
<08141>_,

even the selfsame
<06106>

day
<03117>

it came to pass, that all the hosts
<06635>

of the LORD
<03068>

went out
<03318> (8804)

from the land
<0776>

of Egypt
<04714>_.

12:42

It [is] a night
<03915>

to be much observed
<08107>

unto the LORD
<03068>

for bringing
<03318> (8687)

them out from the land
<0776>

of Egypt
<04714>_:

this [is] that night
<03915>

of the LORD
<03068>

to be observed
<08107>

of all the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>

in their generations
<01755>_.

{a night...: Heb. a night of observations}

12:43

And the LORD
<03068>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto Moses
<04872>

and Aaron
<0175>_,

This [is] the ordinance
<02708>

of the passover
<06453>_:

There shall no stranger
<01121> <05236>

eat
<0398> (8799)

thereof:

12:44

But every man's
<0376>

servant
<05650>

that is bought
<04736>

for money
<03701>_,

when thou hast circumcised
<04135> (8804)

him, then shall he eat
<0398> (8799)

thereof.

12:45

A foreigner
<08453>

and an hired servant
<07916>

shall not eat
<0398> (8799)

thereof.

12:46

In one
<0259>

house
<01004>

shall it be eaten
<0398> (8735)_;

thou shalt not carry forth
<03318> (8686)

ought of the flesh
<01320>

abroad
<02351>

out of the house
<01004>_;

neither shall ye break
<07665> (8799)

a bone
<06106>

thereof.

12:47

All the congregation
<05712>

of Israel
<03478>

shall keep
<06213> (8799)

it. {keep...: Heb. do it}

12:48

And when a stranger
<01616>

shall sojourn
<01481> (8799)

with thee, and will keep
<06213> (8804)

the passover
<06453>

to the LORD
<03068>_,

let all his males
<02145>

be circumcised
<04135> (8736)_,

and then let him come near
<07126> (8799)

and keep
<06213> (8800)

it; and he shall be as one that is born
<0249>

in the land
<0776>_:

for no uncircumcised person
<06189>

shall eat
<0398> (8799)

thereof.

12:49

One
<0259>

law
<08451>

shall be to him that is homeborn
<0249>_,

and unto the stranger
<01616>

that sojourneth
<01481> (8802)

among
<08432>

you.

12:50

Thus did
<06213> (8799)

all the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>_;

as the LORD
<03068>

commanded
<06680> (8765)

Moses
<04872>

and Aaron
<0175>_,

so did
<06213> (8804)

they.
