4 N ow if the household is too small for a lamb, then he and his neighbor nearest to his house are to take one according to the number of persons in them; according to what each man should eat, you are to divide 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,)

21 T hen Moses called for all the elders of Israel and said to them, “ Go and take for yourselves lambs according to your families, and slay the Passover lamb.

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;

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 to smite the Egyptians; and when He sees the blood on the lintel and on the two doorposts, the Lord will pass over the door and will not allow the destroyer to come in to 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.

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

25 W hen you enter the land which the Lord will give you, as He has promised, you shall observe this rite.

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 when your children say to you, ‘ What does this rite mean to you?’

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

27 y ou shall say, ‘It is a Passover sacrifice to the Lord who passed over the houses of the sons of Israel in Egypt when He smote the Egyptians, but spared our homes.’” And the people bowed low and worshiped.

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 T hen the sons of Israel went and did so; just as the Lord had commanded Moses and Aaron, so they did.

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 N ow it came about at midnight that the Lord struck all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, from the firstborn of Pharaoh who sat on his throne to the firstborn of the captive who was in the dungeon, and all the firstborn of cattle.

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 P haraoh arose in the night, he and all his servants and all the Egyptians, and there was a great cry in Egypt, for there was no home where there was not someone 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 T hen he called for Moses and Aaron at night and said, “Rise up, get out from among my people, both you and the sons of Israel; and go, worship the Lord, as you 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 T ake both your flocks and your herds, as you have said, and go, and bless me also.” Exodus of Israel

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

33 T he Egyptians urged the people, to send them out of the land in haste, for they said, “We will all be dead.”

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 S o the people took their dough before it was leavened, with their kneading bowls bound up in the clothes on 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 N ow the sons of Israel had done according to the word of Moses, for they had requested from the Egyptians articles of silver and articles 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 had given the people favor in the sight of the Egyptians, so that they let them have their request. Thus they plundered 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 N ow the sons of Israel journeyed from Rameses to Succoth, about six hundred thousand men on foot, aside from children.

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

38 A mixed multitude also went up with them, along with flocks and herds, a very large number of livestock.

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

39 T hey baked the dough which they had brought out of Egypt into cakes of unleavened bread. For it had not become leavened, since they were driven out of Egypt and could not delay, nor had they prepared any provisions 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 lived 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 at the end of four hundred and thirty years, to the very day, all the hosts of the Lord went out from the land of Egypt. Ordinance of the Passover

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 observed for the Lord for having brought them out from the land of Egypt; this night is for the Lord, to be observed by all the sons of Israel throughout their generations.

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 T he Lord said to Moses and Aaron, “This is the ordinance of the Passover: no foreigner is to 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 purchased with money, after you have circumcised him, then he may eat of it.

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

45 A sojourner or a hired servant shall not eat of it.

a settler or hired servant doth not eat of it;

46 I t is to be eaten in a single house; you are not to bring forth any of the flesh outside of the house, nor are you to break any bone of it.

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 are to celebrate this.

all the company of Israel do keep it.

48 B ut if a stranger sojourns with you, and celebrates the Passover to the Lord, let all his males be circumcised, and then let him come near to celebrate it; and he shall be like a native of the land. But no uncircumcised person may 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 apply to the native as to the stranger who sojourns among you.”

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

50 T hen all the sons of Israel did so; they did just as the Lord had commanded Moses and Aaron.

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

51 A nd on that same day the Lord brought 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.
