The Passover Lamb

(Num 9:1–14; Deu 16:1–8; Eze 45:21–25 )

Exo 12:1And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses and unto Aaron, in the land of Egypt, saying,

Exo 12:2'This month is to you the chief of months -- it is the first to you of the months of the year;

Exo 12:3speak 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.

Exo 12:4

Exo 12:4'(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,)

Exo 12:5

Exo 12:5a 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 it.

Exo 12:6

Exo 12:6'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;

Exo 12:7

Exo 12:7and 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.

Exo 12:8

Exo 12:8'And they have eaten the flesh in this night, roast with fire; with unleavened things and bitters they do eat it;

Exo 12:9

Exo 12:9ye 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;

Exo 12:10

Exo 12:10and ye do not leave of it till morning, and that which is remaining of it till morning with fire ye do burn.

Exo 12:11

Exo 12:11'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,

Exo 12:12

Exo 12:12and 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 am Jehovah.

Exo 12:13

Exo 12:13'And the blood hath become a sign for you on the houses where ye are, 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.

Feast of Unleavened Bread

Exo 12:14

Exo 12:14'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.

Exo 12:15

Exo 12:15Seven 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.

Exo 12:16

Exo 12:16'And in the first day is 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,

Exo 12:17

Exo 12:17and 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.

Exo 12:18

Exo 12:18'In the first month, 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;

Exo 12:19

Exo 12:19seven days leaven is not found in your houses, for any one eating anything fermented -- that person hath been cut off from the company of Israel, among the sojourners or among the natives of the land;

Exo 12:20

Exo 12:20anything fermented ye do not eat, in all your dwellings ye do eat unleavened things.'

Exo 12:21

Exo 12:21And Moses calleth for all the elders of Israel, and saith unto them, 'Draw out and take for yourselves from the flock, for your families, and slaughter the passover-sacrifice;

Exo 12:22

Exo 12:22and ye have taken a bunch of hyssop, and have dipped it in the blood which is in the basin, and have struck it on the lintel, and on the two side-posts, from the blood which is in the basin, and ye, ye go not out each from the opening of his house till morning.

A Memorial of Redemption

Exo 12:23

Exo 12:23'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.

Exo 12:24

Exo 12:24'And ye have observed this thing, for a statute to thee, and to thy sons -- unto the age;

Exo 12:25

Exo 12:25and 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;

Exo 12:26

Exo 12:26and it hath come to pass when your sons say unto you, What is this service ye have?

Exo 12:27

Exo 12:27that ye have said, A sacrifice of passover it is to Jehovah, who passed over the houses of the sons of Israel in Egypt, in His smiting the Egyptians, and our houses He delivered.'

Exo 12:30

Exo 12:30And 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 one dead,

Exo 12:31

Exo 12:31and 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;

Exo 12:32

Exo 12:32both your flock and your herd take ye, as ye have spoken, and go; then ye have blessed also me.'

Exo 12:35

Exo 12:35And 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;

Exo 12:37

Exo 12:39
