1 The beginning of the year is changed. 3 The Passover is instituted. 11 The rite of the Passover. 15 Unleavened bread. 29 The firstborn are slain. 31 The Israelites are driven out of the land. 37 They come to Succoth. 43 The ordinance of the Passover.

 12:1 ¶ And the LORD 3068 spake 559 z8799 unto x413 Moses 4872 and Aaron 175 in the land 776 of Egypt, 4714 saying, 559 z8800

 12:2 This x2088 month 2320 [shall be] unto you the beginning 7218 of months: 2320 it x1931 [shall be] the first 7223 month 2320 of the year 8141 to you.

 12:3 ¶ Speak 1696 z8761 ye unto x413 all x3605 the congregation 5712 of Israel, 3478 saying, 559 z8800 In the tenth 6218 [day] of this x2088 month 2320 they shall take 3947 z8799 to them every man 376 a lamb, 7716 according to the house 1004 of [their] fathers, 1 a lamb 7716 for an house: 1004

 12:4 And if x518 the household 1004 be y1961 z8800 too little 4591 z8799 for the lamb, 7716 4480 x1961 let him x1931 and his neighbour 7934 next 7138 unto x413 his house 1004 take 3947 z8804 [it] according to the number 4373 of the souls; 5315 every man 376 according y6310 to x6310 his eating 400 shall make your count 3699 z8799 for x5921 the lamb. 7716

 12:5 Your lamb 7716 shall be x1961 without blemish, 8549 a male 2145 of the first 1121 year: 8141 ye shall take y3947 z8799 [it] out x3947 from x4480 the sheep, 3532 or from x4480 the goats: 5795

 12:6 And ye shall keep 4931 x1961 it up until x5704 the fourteenth 702 6240 day 3117 of the same x2088 month: 2320 and the whole 3605 assembly 6951 of the congregation 5712 of Israel 3478 shall kill 7819 z8804 it in 996 the evening. 6153

 12:7 And they shall take 3947 z8804 of x4480 the blood, 1818 and strike 5414 z8804 [it] on x5921 the two 8147 side posts 4201 and on x5921 the upper door post 4947 of x5921 the houses, 1004 wherein x834 they shall eat 398 z8799 it.

 12:8 And they shall eat 398 z8804 x853 the flesh 1320 in that x2088 night, 3915 roast 6748 with fire, 784 and unleavened bread; 4682 [and] with x5921 bitter 4844 [herbs] they shall eat 398 z8799 it.

 12:9 Eat 398 z8799 not x408 of x4480 it raw, 4995 nor sodden y1310 z8794 y1311 at all x1311 x1310 with water, 4325 but x3588 x518 roast 6748 [with] fire; 784 his head 7218 with x5921 his legs, 3767 and with x5921 the purtenance 7130 thereof.

 12:10 And ye shall let nothing x3808 of x4480 it remain 3498 z8686 until x5704 the morning; 1242 and that which remaineth 3498 z8737 of x4480 it until x5704 the morning 1242 ye shall burn 8313 z8799 with fire. 784

 12:11 ¶ And thus 3602 shall ye eat 398 z8799 it; [with] your loins 4975 girded, 2296 z8803 your shoes 5275 on your feet, 7272 and your staff 4731 in your hand; 3027 and ye shall eat 398 z8804 it in haste: 2649 it x1931 [is] the LORD'S 3068 passover. 6453

 12:12 For I will pass y5674 z8804 through x5674 the land 776 of Egypt 4714 this x2088 night, 3915 and will smite 5221 z8689 all x3605 the firstborn 1060 in the land 776 of Egypt, 4714 both man 120 x4480 and beast; 929 and against all x3605 the gods 430 of Egypt 4714 I will execute 6213 z8799 judgment: 8201 I x589 [am] the LORD. 3068

 12:13 And the blood 1818 shall be x1961 to you for a token 226 upon x5921 the houses 1004 where x834 ye x859 [are]: and when I see 7200 z8804 x853 the blood, 1818 I will pass 6452 z8804 over x5921 you, and the plague 5063 shall not x3808 be x1961 upon you to destroy 4889 [you], when I smite 5221 z8687 the land 776 of Egypt. 4714

 12:14 And this x2088 day 3117 shall be x1961 unto you for a memorial; 2146 and ye shall keep 2287 z8804 it a feast 2282 to the LORD 3068 throughout your generations; 1755 ye shall keep it a feast 2287 z8799 by an ordinance 2708 for ever. 5769

 12:15 Seven 7651 days 3117 shall ye eat 398 z8799 unleavened bread; 4682 even 389 the first 7223 day 3117 ye shall put away 7673 z8686 leaven 7603 out of your houses: 1004 x4480 for x3588 whosoever x3605 eateth 398 z8802 leavened bread 2557 from the first y7223 day 3117 x4480 x7223 until x5704 the seventh 7637 day, 3117 that x1931 soul 5315 shall be cut y3772 z8738 off x3772 from Israel. 3478 x4480

 12:16 And in the first 7223 day 3117 [there shall be] an holy 6944 convocation, 4744 and in the seventh 7637 day 3117 there shall be x1961 an holy 6944 convocation 4744 to you; no x3808 manner x3605 of work 4399 shall be done 6213 z8735 in them, save 389 [that] which x834 every x3605 man 5315 must eat, 398 z8735 that x1931 only x905 may be done 6213 z8735 of you.

 12:17 And ye shall observe 8104 z8804 x853 [the feast of] unleavened bread; 4682 for x3588 in this x2088 selfsame 6106 day 3117 have I brought y3318 z8689 your armies y6635 out x3318 x853 x6635 of the land 776 x4480 of Egypt: 4714 therefore shall ye observe 8104 z8804 x853 this x2088 day 3117 in your generations 1755 by an ordinance 2708 for ever. 5769

 12:18 ¶ In the first 7223 [month], on the fourteenth 6240 702 day 3117 of the month 2320 at even, 6153 ye shall eat 398 z8799 unleavened bread, 4682 until x5704 the one 259 and twentieth 6242 day 3117 of the month 2320 at even. 6153

 12:19 Seven 7651 days 3117 shall there be no x3808 leaven 7603 found 4672 z8735 in your houses: 1004 for x3588 whosoever x3605 eateth 398 z8802 that which is leavened, y2556 z8688 x2557 even that x1931 soul 5315 shall be cut off 3772 z8738 from the congregation 5712 x4480 of Israel, 3478 whether he be a stranger, 1616 or born 249 in the land. 776

 12:20 Ye shall eat 398 z8799 nothing x3605 x3808 leavened; y2556 z8688 x2557 in all x3605 your habitations 4186 shall ye eat 398 z8799 unleavened bread. 4682

 12:21 ¶ Then Moses 4872 called 7121 z8799 for all x3605 the elders 2205 of Israel, 3478 and said 559 z8799 unto x413 them, Draw out 4900 z8798 and take 3947 z8798 you a lamb 6629 according to your families, 4940 and kill 7819 z8798 the passover. 6453

 12:22 And ye shall take 3947 z8804 a bunch 92 of hyssop, 231 and dip 2881 z8804 [it] in the blood 1818 that x834 [is] in the bason, 5592 and strike 5060 z8689 x413 the lintel 4947 and the two 8147 side posts 4201 with x4480 the blood 1818 that x834 [is] in the bason; 5592 and none 376 x3808 of you x859 shall go out 3318 z8799 at the door 6607 x4480 of his house 1004 until x5704 the morning. 1242

 12:23 For the LORD 3068 will pass through 5674 z8804 to smite 5062 z8800 x853 the Egyptians; 4714 and when he seeth 7200 z8804 x853 the blood 1818 upon x5921 the lintel, 4947 and on x5921 the two 8147 side posts, 4201 the LORD 3068 will pass x6452 over y6452 z8804 x5921 the door, 6607 and will not x3808 suffer 5414 z8799 the destroyer 7843 z8688 to come y935 z8800 in x935 unto x413 your houses 1004 to smite 5062 z8800 [you].

 12:24 And ye shall observe 8104 z8804 x853 this x2088 thing 1697 for an ordinance 2706 to thee and to thy sons 1121 for y5704 ever. 5769 x5704

 12:25 And it shall come to pass, x1961 when x3588 ye be come 935 z8799 to x413 the land 776 which x834 the LORD 3068 will give 5414 z8799 you, according as x834 he hath promised, 1696 z8765 that ye shall keep 8104 z8804 x853 this x2063 service. 5656

 12:26 And it shall come to pass, x1961 when x3588 your children 1121 shall say 559 z8799 unto x413 you, What x4100 mean ye by this x2063 service? 5656

 12:27 That ye shall say, 559 z8804 It x1931 [is] the sacrifice 2077 of the LORD'S 3068 passover, 6453 who x834 passed 6452 z8804 over x5921 the houses 1004 of the children 1121 of Israel 3478 in Egypt, 4714 when he smote 5062 z8800 x853 the Egyptians, 4714 and delivered 5337 z8689 our houses. 1004 And the people 5971 bowed the head 6915 z8799 and worshipped. 7812 z8691

 12:28 And the children 1121 of Israel 3478 went away, y3212 z8799 x1980 and did 6213 z8799 as x834 the LORD 3068 had commanded 6680 z8765 x853 Moses 4872 and Aaron, 175 so x3651 did 6213 z8804 they.

 12:29 ¶ And it came to pass, x1961 that at midnight 2677 3915 the LORD 3068 smote 5221 z8689 all x3605 the firstborn 1060 in the land 776 of Egypt, 4714 from the firstborn 1060 x4480 of Pharaoh 6547 that sat 3427 z8802 on x5921 his throne 3678 unto x5704 the firstborn 1060 of the captive 7628 that x834 [was] in the dungeon; 1004 953 and all x3605 the firstborn 1060 of cattle. 929

 12:30 And Pharaoh 6547 rose up 6965 z8799 in the night, 3915 he, x1931 and all x3605 his servants, 5650 and all x3605 the Egyptians; 4714 and there was x1961 a great 1419 cry 6818 in Egypt; 4714 for x3588 [there was] not x369 a house 1004 where x834 x8033 [there was] not x369 one dead. 4191 z8801

 12:31 ¶ And he called 7121 z8799 for Moses 4872 and Aaron 175 by night, 3915 and said, 559 z8799 Rise up, 6965 z8798 [and] get you forth 3318 z8798 from among 8432 x4480 my people, 5971 both x1571 ye x859 and x1571 the children 1121 of Israel; 3478 and go, y3212 z8798 x1980 serve 5647 z8798 x853 the LORD, 3068 as ye have said. 1696 z8763

 12:32 Also x1571 take 3947 z8798 your flocks 6629 and x1571 your herds, 1241 as x834 ye have said, 1696 z8765 and be gone; y3212 z8798 x1980 and bless 1288 z8765 me also. x1571

 12:33 And the Egyptians 4714 were urgent 2388 z8799 upon x5921 the people, 5971 that they might send y7971 z8763 them out x7971 of x4480 the land 776 in haste; 4116 z8763 for x3588 they said, 559 z8804 We [be] all x3605 dead 4191 z8801 [men].

 12:34 And the people 5971 took 5375 z8799 x853 their dough 1217 before x2962 it was leavened, 2556 z8799 their kneadingtroughs 4863 being bound up 6887 z8803 in their clothes 8071 upon x5921 their shoulders. 7926

 12:35 And the children 1121 of Israel 3478 did 6213 z8804 according to the word 1697 of Moses; 4872 and they borrowed 7592 z8799 of the Egyptians 4714 x4480 jewels 3627 of silver, 3701 and jewels 3627 of gold, 2091 and raiment: 8071

 12:36 And the LORD 3068 gave 5414 z8804 the people 5971 x853 favour 2580 in the sight 5869 of the Egyptians, 4714 so that they lent 7592 z8686 unto them [such things as they required]. And they spoiled 5337 z8762 x853 the Egyptians. 4714

 12:37 ¶ And the children 1121 of Israel 3478 journeyed 5265 z8799 from Rameses 7486 x4480 to Succoth, 5523 about six 8337 hundred 3967 thousand 505 on foot 7273 [that were] men, 1397 beside 905 children. 2945 x4480

 12:38 And a mixed 6154 multitude 7227 went up 5927 z8804 also x1571 with x854 them; and flocks, 6629 and herds, 1241 [even] very 3966 much 3515 cattle. 4735

 12:39 And they baked 644 z8799 unleavened 4682 cakes 5692 of x853 the dough 1217 which x834 they brought forth 3318 z8689 out of Egypt, 4714 x4480 for x3588 it was not leavened; 2556 z8804 x3808 because x3588 they were thrust out 1644 z8795 of Egypt, 4714 x4480 and could 3201 z8804 not x3808 tarry, 4102 z8699 neither x1571 x3808 had they prepared 6213 z8804 for themselves any victual. 6720

 12:40 ¶ Now the sojourning 4186 of the children 1121 of Israel, 3478 who x834 dwelt 3427 z8804 in Egypt, 4714 [was] four 702 hundred 3967 y8141 and thirty 7970 years. 8141

 12:41 And it came to pass x1961 at the end 7093 x4480 of the four 702 hundred 3967 y8141 and thirty 7970 years, 8141 even the selfsame 6106 x2088 day 3117 it came to pass, x1961 that all x3605 the hosts 6635 of the LORD 3068 went out 3318 z8804 from the land 776 x4480 of Egypt. 4714

 12:42 It x1931 [is] a night 3915 to be much observed 8107 unto the LORD 3068 for bringing y3318 z8687 them out x3318 from the land 776 x4480 of Egypt: 4714 this x2088 [is] that x1931 night 3915 of the LORD 3068 to be observed 8107 of all x3605 the children 1121 of Israel 3478 in their generations. 1755

 12:43 ¶ And the LORD 3068 said 559 z8799 unto x413 Moses 4872 and Aaron, 175 This x2063 [is] the ordinance 2708 of the passover: 6453 There shall no x3808 x3605 stranger 1121 5236 eat 398 z8799 thereof:

 12:44 But every x3605 man's 376 servant 5650 that is bought 4736 for money, 3701 when thou hast circumcised 4135 z8804 him, then x227 shall he eat 398 z8799 thereof.

 12:45 A foreigner 8453 and an hired servant 7916 shall not x3808 eat 398 z8799 thereof.

 12:46 In one 259 house 1004 shall it be eaten; 398 z8735 thou shalt not x3808 carry forth 3318 z8686 ought of x4480 the flesh 1320 abroad 2351 out of x4480 the house; 1004 neither x3808 shall ye break 7665 z8799 a bone 6106 thereof.

 12:47 All x3605 the congregation 5712 of Israel 3478 shall keep 6213 z8799 it.

 12:48 And when x3588 a stranger 1616 shall sojourn 1481 z8799 with x854 thee, and will keep 6213 z8804 the passover 6453 to the LORD, 3068 let all x3605 his males 2145 be circumcised, 4135 z8736 and then x227 let him come near 7126 z8799 and keep 6213 z8800 it; and he shall be x1961 as one that is born y249 in x249 the land: 776 for no uncircumcised person 6189 x3808 x3605 shall eat 398 z8799 thereof.

 12:49 One 259 law 8451 shall be x1961 to him that is homeborn, 249 and unto the stranger 1616 that sojourneth 1481 z8802 among 8432 you.

 12:50 Thus did 6213 z8799 all x3605 the children 1121 of Israel; 3478 as x834 the LORD 3068 commanded 6680 z8765 x853 Moses 4872 and Aaron, 175 so x3651 did 6213 z8804 they.

 12:51 And it came to pass x1961 the selfsame 6106 x2088 day, 3117 [that] the LORD 3068 did bring 3318 z8689 x853 the children 1121 of Israel 3478 out of the land 776 x4480 of Egypt 4714 by x5921 their armies. 6635
