1 ¶ And the LORD spoke unto Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt, saying,

And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses and unto Aaron, in the land of Egypt, saying,

2 T his month shall be unto you the beginning of the months; it shall be the first month of the year to you.

`This month to you the chief of months -- it the first to you of the months of the year;

3 S peak unto all the congregation of Israel, saying, In the tenth day of this month let each man take a lamb according to the families of the fathers, a lamb per family;

speak ye unto all the company of Israel, saying, In the tenth of this month -- they take to them each man a lamb for the house of the fathers, a lamb for a house.

4 a nd if the household is too small and is not able to eat the lamb, let him and his neighbour next unto his house take it according to the number of persons; each one according to his eating shall make your count for the lamb.

`(And if the household be too few for a lamb, then hath he taken, he and his neighbour who is near unto his house, for the number of persons, each according to his eating ye do count for the lamb,)

5 T he lamb shall be without blemish, a male of one year; ye shall take it out from the sheep or from the goats;

a lamb, a perfect one, a male, a son of a year, let be to you; from the sheep or from the goats ye do take.

6 a nd 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 between the two evenings.

`And it hath become a charge to you, until the fourteenth day of this month, and the whole assembly of the company of Israel have slaughtered it between the evenings;

7 A nd they shall take of the blood and put it on the two side posts and on the upper door post of the houses in which they shall eat it.

and they have taken of the blood, and have put on the two side-posts, and on the lintel over the houses in which they eat it.

8 A nd they shall eat the flesh in that night, roasted with fire, and unleavened bread; and with bitter herbs they shall eat it.

`And they have eaten the flesh in this night, roast with fire; with unleavened things and bitters they do eat it;

9 E at none of it raw, nor boiled at all with water, but roast with fire, his head with his legs, and with the entrails thereof.

ye do not eat of it raw, or boiled at all in water, but roast with fire, its head with its legs, and with its inwards;

10 A nd ye shall let nothing of it remain until the morning; and that which remains of it until the morning ye shall burn with fire.

and ye do not leave of it till morning, and that which is remaining of it till morning with fire ye do burn.

11 A nd 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.

`And thus ye do eat it: your loins girded, your sandals on your feet, and your staff in your hand, and ye have eaten it in haste; it is Jehovah's passover,

12 F or I will pass through the land of Egypt this night and will smite all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both among man and beast; and against all the gods of Egypt I will execute judgments: I am the LORD.

and I have passed over through the land of Egypt during this night, and have smitten every first-born in the land of Egypt, from man even unto beast, and on all the gods of Egypt I do judgments; I Jehovah.

13 A nd this blood shall be to you for a sign 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.

`And the blood hath become a sign for you on the houses where ye, and I have seen the blood, and have passed over you, and a plague is not on you for destruction in My smiting in the land of Egypt.

14 A nd this day shall be unto you for a memorial; and ye shall keep it as a feast unto the LORD throughout your ages; ye shall keep it a feast by an ordinance forever.

`And this day hath become to you a memorial, and ye have kept it a feast to Jehovah to your generations; -- a statute age-during; ye keep it a feast.

15 S even days shall ye eat unleavened bread; even the first day ye shall put away leaven out of your houses, for whoever eats leavened bread from the first day until the seventh day, that soul shall be cut off from Israel.

Seven days ye eat unleavened things; only -- in the first day ye cause leaven to cease out of your houses; for any one eating anything fermented from the first day till the seventh day, even that person hath been cut off from Israel.

16 A nd in the first day there shall be a holy convocation, and in the seventh day there shall be a holy convocation to you; no manner of work shall be done in them, except that which every person must eat, that only may be done of you.

`And in the first day a holy convocation, and in the seventh day ye have a holy convocation; any work is not done in them, only that which is eaten by any person -- it alone is done by you,

17 A nd ye shall observe the feast of unleavened bread, for in this same day have I brought your hosts out of the land of Egypt; therefore, shall ye observe this day for your ages by an ordinance forever.

and ye have observed the unleavened things, for in this self-same day I have brought out your hosts from the land of Egypt, and ye have observed this day to your generations -- a statute age-during.

18 I n the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month in the evening, ye shall eat unleavened bread until the twenty-first day of the month in the evening.

`In the first, in the fourteenth day of the month, in the evening, ye do eat unleavened things until the one and twentieth day of the month, at evening;

19 F or seven days there shall be no leaven found in your houses; for whoever eats that which is leavened, that soul shall be cut off from the congregation of Israel, whether he is a stranger or born in the land.

seven days leaven is not found in your houses, for any eating anything fermented -- that person hath been cut off from the company of Israel, among the sojourners or among the natives of the land;

20 Y e shall eat nothing leavened; in all your habitations ye shall eat unleavened bread.

anything fermented ye do not eat, in all your dwellings ye do eat unleavened things.'

21 ¶ Then Moses called for all the elders of Israel and said unto them, Draw out and take lambs according to your families and sacrifice the passover.

And Moses calleth for all the elders of Israel, and saith unto them, `Draw out and take for yourselves the flock, for your families, and slaughter the passover-sacrifice;

22 A nd ye shall take a bunch of hyssop and dip it in the blood that is in the basin and touch the lintel and the two side posts with the blood that is in the basin; and none of you shall go out of the door of his house until the morning.

and ye have taken a bunch of hyssop, and have dipped in the blood which in the basin, and have struck on the lintel, and on the two side-posts, from the blood which in the basin, and ye, ye go not out each from the opening of his house till morning.

23 F or the LORD will pass through smiting the Egyptians, and when he sees the blood upon the lintel and on the two side posts, the LORD will pass over that door and will not allow the destroyer to come in unto your houses to smite you.

`And Jehovah hath passed on to smite the Egyptians, and hath seen the blood on the lintel, and on the two side-posts, and Jehovah hath passed over the opening, and doth not permit the destruction to come into your houses to smite.

24 A nd ye shall observe this thing for an ordinance to thee and to thy sons forever.

`And ye have observed this thing, for a statute to thee, and to thy sons -- unto the age;

25 A nd it shall come to pass, when ye have entered into the land which the LORD will give you, according as he has promised, that ye shall keep this service.

and it hath been, when ye come in unto the land which Jehovah giveth to you, as He hath spoken, that ye have kept this service;

26 A nd it shall come to pass, when your children shall say unto you, What do you mean by this service?

and it hath come to pass when your sons say unto you, What this service ye have?

27 T hat ye shall say, It is the sacrifice of the LORD’s passover, who passed over the houses of the sons of Israel in Egypt, when he smote the Egyptians and delivered our houses. Then the people bowed and worshipped.

that ye have said, A sacrifice of passover it to Jehovah, who passed over the houses of the sons of Israel in Egypt, in His smiting the Egyptians, and our houses He delivered.'

28 A nd the sons of Israel went away, and as the LORD had commanded Moses and Aaron, so did they.

And the people bow and do obeisance, and the sons of Israel go and do as Jehovah commanded Moses and Aaron; so have they done.

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 the animals.

And it cometh to pass, at midnight, that Jehovah hath smitten every first-born in the land of Egypt, from the first-born of Pharaoh who is sitting on his throne, unto the first-born of the captive who in the prison-house, and every first-born of beasts.

30 A nd Pharaoh rose up in the night, he, and all his slaves and all the Egyptians; and there was a great cry in Egypt, for there was not a house where there was not one dead.

And Pharaoh riseth by night, he and all his servants, and all the Egyptians, and there is a great cry in Egypt, for there is not a house where there is not dead,

31 A nd he called for Moses and Aaron by night and said, Rise up, and get you forth from among my people, both ye and the sons of Israel, and go, serve the LORD as ye have said.

and he calleth for Moses and for Aaron by night, and saith, `Rise, go out from the midst of my people, both ye and the sons of Israel, and go, serve Jehovah according to your word;

32 A lso take your sheep and your cows, as ye have said, and be gone; and bless me also.

both your flock and your herd take ye, as ye have spoken, and go; then ye have blessed also me.'

33 A nd the Egyptians were urgent upon the people that they might send them out of the land in haste, for they said, We are all dead men.

And the Egyptians are urgent on the people, hasting to send them away out of the land, for they said, `We are all dead;'

34 A nd the people took their dough before it was leavened, their kneadingtroughs being bound up in their clothes upon their shoulders.

and the people taketh up its dough before it is fermented, their kneading-troughs bound up in their garments on their shoulder.

35 A nd the sons of Israel did according to the word of Moses; and they asked the Egyptians for vessels of silver, and vessels of gold, and clothing.

And the sons of Israel have done according to the word of Moses, and they ask from the Egyptians vessels of silver and vessels of gold, and garments;

36 A nd the LORD gave the people grace in the sight of the Egyptians, so that they gave unto them such things as they required. And they spoiled the Egyptians.

and Jehovah hath given the grace of the people in the eyes of the Egyptians, and they cause them to ask, and they spoil the Egyptians.

37 ¶ And the sons of Israel journeyed from Rameses to Succoth, about six hundred thousand men on foot, not counting the children.

And the sons of Israel journey from Rameses to Succoth, about six hundred thousand men on foot, apart from infants;

38 A nd a mixed multitude went up also with them and many sheep and cows.

and a great rabble also hath gone up with them, and flock and herd -- very much cattle.

39 A nd 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 nor prepare food for themselves.

And they bake with the dough which they have brought out from Egypt unleavened cakes, for it hath not fermented; for they have been cast out of Egypt, and have not been able to delay, and also provision they have not made for themselves.

40 N ow the time that the sons of Israel dwelt in Egypt was four hundred and thirty years.

And the dwelling of the sons of Israel which they have dwelt in Egypt four hundred and thirty years;

41 A nd it came to pass at the end of the four hundred and thirty years, even that same day it came to pass, that all the hosts of the LORD went out from the land of Egypt.

and it cometh to pass, at the end of four hundred and thirty years -- yea, it cometh to pass in this self-same day -- all the hosts of Jehovah have gone out from the land of Egypt.

42 I t is a night to be much observed unto the LORD for bringing them out from the land of Egypt: this night should be observed unto the LORD by all the sons of Israel in their ages.

A night of watchings it to Jehovah, to bring them out from the land of Egypt; it this night to Jehovah of watchings to all the sons of Israel to their generations.

43 ¶ And the LORD said unto Moses and Aaron, This shall be the ordinance of the passover: No stranger shall eat of it,

And Jehovah saith unto Moses and Aaron, `This a statute of the passover; Any son of a stranger doth not eat of it;

44 b ut every man’s slave that is bought for money, when thou hast circumcised him, then shall he eat of it.

and any man's servant, the purchase of money, when thou hast circumcised him -- then he doth eat of it;

45 T he foreigner and the hired servant shall not eat of it.

a settler or hired servant doth not eat of it;

46 I t shall be eaten in one house; thou shalt not carry forth any of the flesh abroad out of the house; neither shall ye break a bone thereof.

in one house it is eaten, thou dost not carry out of the house of the flesh without, and a bone ye do not break of it;

47 A ll the congregation of Israel shall make this sacrifice.

all the company of Israel do keep it.

48 A nd if a stranger shall sojourn with thee and desire to make the passover to the LORD, let all his males be circumcised, and then let him come near and make this sacrifice; and he shall be as one that is natural in the land, but no uncircumcised person shall eat of it.

`And when a sojourner sojourneth with thee, and hath made a passover to Jehovah, every male of his to be circumcised, and then he doth come near to keep it, and he hath been as a native of the land, but any uncircumcised one doth not eat of it;

49 T he same law shall be for the one who is natural, and for the stranger that sojourns among you.

one law is to a native, and to a sojourner who is sojourning in your midst.'

50 T hus did all the sons of Israel; as the LORD commanded Moses and Aaron, so did they.

And all the sons of Israel do as Jehovah commanded Moses and Aaron; so have they done.

51 A nd it came to pass that same day that the LORD did bring the sons of Israel out of the land of Egypt by their hosts.

And it cometh to pass in this self-same day, Jehovah hath brought out the sons of Israel from the land of Egypt, by their hosts.
