  • Exod 12:21-30 : 21 Then Moses called for all the elders of Israel, and said to them, 'Select and take lambs for your families, and kill the Passover lamb. 22 And you shall take a bunch of hyssop, 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 strike the Egyptians; and when he sees the blood on the lintel and on the two side posts, the LORD will pass over the door and will not allow the destroyer to come into your houses to strike you. 24 And you shall observe this thing as an ordinance for you and your sons forever. 25 And it shall come to pass, when you come to the land which the LORD will give you, just as He has promised, that you shall keep this service. 26 And it shall come to pass, when your children ask you, 'What do you mean by this service?' 27 That you 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 struck the Egyptians and delivered our houses.'

  • Exod 12:3-9 : 3 Speak to all the congregation of Israel, saying, On the tenth day of this month every man shall take for himself a lamb, according to the house of their fathers, a lamb for a household: 4 And if the household is too small for the lamb, let him and his neighbor next to his house take it according to the number of the people; 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: you shall take it from the sheep, or from the goats: 6 And you shall keep it 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 put it on the two side posts and on the upper door post of the houses in which they shall eat it. 8 And they shall eat the flesh that night, roasted with fire, with unleavened bread; and with bitter herbs they shall eat it. 9 Do not eat it raw, nor boiled at all with water, but roasted with fire; its head with its legs, and its entrails. 10 And you shall let nothing of it remain until the morning; and that which remains of it until the morning you shall burn with fire. 11 And thus you shall eat it; with your loins girded, your shoes on your feet, and your staff in your hand; and you 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 strike 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 a sign for you on the houses where you are: and when I see the blood, I will pass over you, and the plague shall not be on you to destroy you when I strike the land of Egypt. 14 And this day shall be to you a memorial; and you shall keep it as a feast to the LORD throughout your generations; you shall keep it as a feast by an ordinance forever.
