Chapter 12 |
1 | 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 neighbor 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 1day 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.

Lev 23:6,
Matt 26:17
|
15 |
Seven days shall ye eat unleavened bread; even the first day ye shall put away
leaven out of your houses: for whosoever eateth leavened bread from the first
day until the seventh day, that soul shall be cut off from Israel. |
16 | And in the
first day there shall be an holy convocation, and in the seventh day
there shall be an holy convocation to you; no manner of work shall be
done in them, save that which every man must eat, that only may be done
of you. |
17 | And ye shall observe the feast of
unleavened bread; for in this selfsame day have I brought your armies
out of the land of Egypt: therefore shall ye observe this day in your
generations by an ordinance for ever. |
18 | In
the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month at even, ye shall
eat unleavened bread, until the one and twentieth day of the month at
even. |
19 |
Seven days shall there be no leaven found in your houses: for whosoever eateth
that which is leavened, even that soul shall be cut off from the congregation of
Israel, whether he be a stranger, or born in the land. |
20 |
Ye shall eat nothing leavened; in all your habitations shall ye eat
unleavened bread. |
21 |
Then Moses called for all the elders of Israel, and said unto them, Draw
out and take you a lamb according to your families, and kill the
passover. |
22 |
And ye shall take a bunch of hyssop, and dip it in the blood that is in the
basin, and strike the lintel and the two side posts with the blood that is in
the basin; and none of you shall go out at the door of his house until the
morning. |
23 | For 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. |
24 |
And ye shall observe this thing for an ordinance to thee and to thy sons for
ever. |
25 | And
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. |
26 |
And it shall come to pass, when your children shall say unto you, What mean ye
by this service? |
27 | That ye shall say, It is the sacrifice of
the LORD's passover, who 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. |
28 |
And the children of Israel went away, and did as the LORD had commanded
Moses and Aaron, so did they. |
29 |
And it came to pass, that at midnight the LORD smote all the firstborn
in the land of Egypt, from the firstborn of Pharaoh that sat on his
throne unto the firstborn of the captive that was in the dungeon; and
all the firstborn of cattle. |
30 |
And 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. |
31 |
And he called for Moses and Aaron by night, and said, Rise up, and get
you forth from among my people, both ye and the children of Israel; and
go, serve the LORD, as ye have said. |
32 |
Also take your flocks and your herds, as ye have said, and be gone; and bless me
also. |
33 |
And the Egyptians were urgent upon the people, that they might send them
out of the land in haste; for they said, We be all dead men. |
34 | And the people took their dough before it
was leavened, their kneadingtroughs being bound up in their clothes upon
their shoulders. |
35 | And
the children of Israel did according to the word of Moses; and they
borrowed of the Egyptians jewels of silver, and jewels of gold, and
raiment: |
36 |
And the LORD gave the people favor in the sight of the Egyptians, so that they
lent unto them such things as they required. And they spoiled the Egyptians. |
37 | And the children of Israel journeyed from
Rameses to Succoth, about six hundred thousand on foot that were men,
beside children. |
38 | And
a mixed multitude went up also with them; and flocks, and herds, even
very much cattle. |
39 | And
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. |
40 | Now the sojourning of the children of
Israel, who dwelt in Egypt, was four hundred and thirty years. |
41 | And it came to pass at the end of the four
hundred and thirty years, even the selfsame day it came to pass, that
all the hosts of the LORD went out from the land of Egypt. |
42 | It is a night to be much observed unto the
LORD for bringing them out from the land of Egypt: this is that night of
the LORD to be observed of all the children of Israel in their
generations. |
43 |
And the LORD said unto Moses and Aaron, This is the ordinance of the passover:
There shall no stranger eat thereof: |
44 | But every man's
servant that is bought for money, when thou hast circumcised him, then
shall he eat thereof. |
45 | A
foreigner and an hired servant shall not eat thereof. |
46 | In one house shall it be eaten; thou shalt
not carry forth ought of the flesh abroad out of the house;
neither shall ye break a bone thereof.
John 19:36
Num 9:12
|
47 | All
the congregation of Israel shall keep it. |
48 |
And 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: for
no uncircumcised person shall eat thereof. |
49 |
One law shall be to him that is homeborn, and unto the stranger that
sojourneth among you. |
50 |
Thus did all the children of Israel; as the LORD commanded Moses and Aaron, so
did they. |
51 |
And it came to pass the selfsame day, that the LORD did bring the
children of Israel out of the land of Egypt by their armies. |
