Exodus 12:1-28.
Exodus 12:1-28 (GNT)
1The Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron in Egypt: 2This month is to be the
first month of the year for you. 3Give these instructions to the whole
community of Israel: On the tenth day of this month each man must choose
either a lamb or a young goat for his household. 4If his family is too
small to eat a whole animal, he and his next-door neighbor may share an
animal, in proportion to the number of people and the amount that each
person can eat. 5You may choose either a sheep or a goat, but it must be a
one-year-old male without any defects. 6Then, on the evening of the
fourteenth day of the month, the whole community of Israel will kill the
animals. 7The people are to take some of the blood and put it on the
doorposts and above the doors of the houses in which the animals are to be
eaten. 8That night the meat is to be roasted, and eaten with bitter herbs
and with bread made without yeast. 9Do not eat any of it raw or boiled,
but eat it roasted whole, including the head, the legs, and the internal
organs. 10You must not leave any of it until morning; if any is left over,
it must be burned. 11You are to eat it quickly, for you are to be dressed
for travel, with your sandals on your feet and your walking stick in your
hand. It is the Passover Festival to honor me, the Lord. 12On that night I
will go through the land of Egypt, killing every first-born male, both
human and animal, and punishing all the gods of Egypt. I am the Lord.
13The blood on the doorposts will be a sign to mark the houses in which
you live. When I see the blood, I will pass over you and will not harm you
when I punish the Egyptians. 14You must celebrate this day as a religious
festival to remind you of what I, the Lord, have done. Celebrate it for
all time to come. 15The Lord said, For seven days you must not eat any
bread made with yeast-eat only unleavened bread. On the first day you are
to get rid of all the yeast in your houses, for if anyone during those
seven days eats bread made with yeast, he shall no longer be considered
one of my people. 16On the first day and again on the seventh day you are
to meet for worship. No work is to be done on those days, but you may
prepare food. 17Keep this festival, because it was on this day that I
brought your tribes out of Egypt. For all time to come you must celebrate
this day as a festival. 18From the evening of the fourteenth day of the
first month to the evening of the twenty-first day, you must not eat any
bread made with yeast. 19-20For seven days no yeast must be found in your
houses, for if anyone, native-born or foreign, eats bread made with yeast,
he shall no longer be considered one of my people. 21Moses called for all
the leaders of Israel and said to them, Each of you is to choose a lamb or
a young goat and kill it, so that your families can celebrate Passover.
22Take a sprig of hyssop, dip it in the bowl containing the animal's
blood, and wipe the blood on the doorposts and the beam above the door of
your house. Not one of you is to leave the house until morning. 23When the
Lord goes through Egypt to kill the Egyptians, he will see the blood on the
beams and the doorposts and will not let the Angel of Death enter your
houses and kill you. 24You and your children must obey these rules
forever. 25When you enter the land that the Lord has promised to give you,
you must perform this ritual. 26When your children ask you, What does this
ritual mean? 27you will answer, It is the sacrifice of Passover to honor
the Lord, because he passed over the houses of the Israelites in Egypt. He
killed the Egyptians, but spared us.The Israelites knelt down and
worshiped. 28Then they went and did what the Lord had commanded Moses and
Aaron.
