Exodus 11
[1] And the LORD said unto Moses, Yet will I bring one plague more upon
Pharaoh, and upon Egypt; afterwards he will let you go hence: when he shall
let you go, he shall surely thrust you out hence altogether. [2] Speak now in
the ears of the people, and let every man borrow of his neighbour, and every
woman of her neighbour, jewels of silver, and jewels of gold.
[3] And the LORD gave the people favour in the sight of the Egyptians.
Moreover the man Moses was very great in the land of Egypt, in the sight of
Pharaoh's servants, and in the sight of the people. [4] And Moses said, Thus
saith the LORD, About midnight will I go out into the midst of Egypt:
[5] And all the firstborn in the land of Egypt shall die, from the firstborn
of Pharaoh that sitteth upon his throne, even unto the firstborn of the
maidservant that is behind the mill; and all the firstborn of beasts. [6] And
there shall be a great cry throughout all the land of Egypt, such as there was
none like it, nor shall be like it any more. [7] But against any of the
children of Israel shall not a dog move his tongue, against man or beast: that
ye may know how that the LORD doth put a difference between the Egyptians and
Israel. [8] And all these thy servants shall come down unto me, and bow down
themselves unto me, saying, Get thee out, and all the people that follow thee:
and after that I will go out. And he went out from Pharaoh in a great anger.
[9] And the LORD said unto Moses, Pharaoh shall not hearken unto you; that my
wonders may be multiplied in the land of Egypt. [10] And Moses and Aaron did
all these wonders before Pharaoh: and the LORD hardened Pharaoh's heart, so
that he would not let the children of Israel go out of his land.
Exodus 12
[1] And the LORD spake unto Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt, saying, [2]
This month shall be unto you the beginning of months: it shall be the first
month of the year to you.
[3] Speak ye unto all the congregation of Israel, saying, In the tenth day of
this month they shall take to them every man a lamb, according to the house of
their fathers, a lamb for an house: [4] And if the household be too little for
the lamb, let him and his neighbour next unto his house take it according to
the number of the souls; 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: ye shall take it out from the sheep, or from the goats: [6] And 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 in the evening.
[7] And they shall take of the blood, and strike it on the two side posts and
on the upper door post of the houses, wherein they shall eat it. [8] And they
shall eat the flesh in that night, roast with fire, and unleavened bread; and
with bitter herbs they shall eat it. [9] Eat not of it raw, nor sodden at all
with water, but roast with fire; his head with his legs, and with the
purtenance thereof. [10] And ye shall let nothing of it remain until the
morning; and that which remaineth of it until the morning ye shall burn with
fire. [11] And 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.
[12] For I will pass through the land of Egypt this night, and will smite 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 to you for a token 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. [14] And this day shall be unto you for a
memorial; and ye shall keep it a feast to the LORD throughout your
generations; ye shall keep it a feast by an ordinance for ever.
[15] Seven days shall ye eat unleavened bread; even the first day ye shall put
away leaven out of your houses: for whosoever eateth leavened bread from the
first day until the seventh day, that soul shall be cut off from Israel. [16]
And in the first day there shall be an holy convocation, and in the seventh
day there shall be an holy convocation to you; no manner of work shall be done
in them, save that which every man must eat, that only may be done of you.
[17] And ye shall observe the feast of unleavened bread; for in this selfsame
day have I brought your armies out of the land of Egypt: therefore shall ye
observe this day in your generations by an ordinance for ever. [18] In the
first month, on the fourteenth day of the month at even, ye shall eat
unleavened bread, until the one and twentieth day of the month at even.
[19] Seven days shall there be no leaven found in your houses: for whosoever
eateth that which is leavened, even that soul shall be cut off from the
congregation of Israel, whether he be a stranger, or born in the land. [20] Ye
shall eat nothing leavened; in all your habitations shall ye eat unleavened
bread.
[21] Then Moses called for all the elders of Israel, and said unto them, Draw
out and take you a lamb according to your families, and kill the passover.
[22] And ye shall take a bunch of hyssop, and dip it in the blood that is in
the bason, and strike the lintel and the two side posts with the blood that is
in the bason; and none of you shall go out at the door of his house until the
morning.
[23] For the LORD will pass through to smite the Egyptians; and when he seeth
the blood upon the lintel, and on the two side posts, the LORD will pass over
the door, and will not suffer the destroyer to come in unto your houses to
smite you.
[24] And ye shall observe this thing for an ordinance to thee and to thy sons
for ever.
[25] And it shall come to pass, when ye be come to the land which the LORD
will give you, according as he hath promised, that ye shall keep this service.
[26] And it shall come to pass, when your children shall say unto you, What
mean ye by this service?
[27] That ye 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 smote the
Egyptians, and delivered our houses. And the people bowed the head and
worshipped.
[28] And the children of Israel went away, and did as the LORD had commanded
Moses and Aaron, so did they.
[29] And it came to pass, that at midnight the LORD smote all the firstborn in
the land of Egypt, from the firstborn of Pharoah that sat on his throne unto
the firstborn of the captive that was in the dungeon; and all the firstborn of
cattle.
[30] And Pharaoh rose up in the night, he, and all his servants, and all the
Egyptians; and there was a great cry in Egypt; for there was not a house where
there was not one dead.
[31] And he called for Moses and Aaron by night, and said, Rise up, and get
you forth from among my people, both ye and the children of Israel; and go,
serve the LORD, as ye have said.
[32] Also take your flocks and your herds, as ye have said, and be gone; and
bless me also.
[33] And the Egyptians were urgent upon the people, that they might send them
out of the land in haste; for they said, We be all dead men. [34] And the
people took their dough before it was leavened, their kneadingtroughs being
bound up in their clothes upon their shoulders. [35] And the children of
Israel did according to the word of Moses; and they borrowed of the Egyptians
jewels of silver, and jewels of gold, and raiment: [36] And the LORD gave the
people favour in the sight of the Egyptians, so that they lent unto them such
things as they required. And they spoiled the Egyptians.
[37] And the children of Israel journeyed from Rameses to Succoth, about six
hundred thousand on foot that were men, beside children. [38] And a mixed
multitude went up also with them; and flocks, and herds, even very much cattle.
[39] And 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, neither had they prepared for themselves any victual.
[40] Now the sojourning of the children of Israel, who dwelt in Egypt, was
four hundred and thirty years.
[41] And it came to pass at the end of the four hundred and thirty years, even
the selfsame day it came to pass, that all the hosts of the LORD went out from
the land of Egypt.
[42] It is a night to be much observed unto the LORD for bringing them out
from the land of Egypt: this is that night of the LORD to be observed of all
the children of Israel in their generations. [43] And the LORD said unto Moses
and Aaron, This is the ordinance of the passover: There shall no stranger eat
thereof: [44] But every man's servant that is bought for money, when thou hast
circumcised him, then shall he eat thereof. [45] A foreigner and an hired
servant shall not eat thereof. [46] In one house shall it be eaten; thou shalt
not carry forth ought of the flesh abroad out of the house; neither shall ye
break a bone thereof. [47] All the congregation of Israel shall keep it. [48]
And when a stranger shall sojourn with thee, and will keep the passover to the
LORD, let all his males be circumcised, and then let him come near and keep
it; and he shall be as one that is born in the land: for no uncircumcised
person shall eat thereof. [49] One law shall be to him that is homeborn, and
unto the stranger that sojourneth among you.
[50] Thus did all the children of Israel; as the LORD commanded Moses and
Aaron, so did they.
[51] And it came to pass the selfsame day, that the LORD did bring the
children of Israel out of the land of Egypt by their armies.
Exodus 13
[1] And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, [2] Sanctify unto me all the
firstborn, whatsoever openeth the womb among the children of Israel, both of
man and of beast: it is mine. [3] And Moses said unto the people, Remember
this day, in which ye came out from Egypt, out of the house of bondage; for by
strength of hand the LORD brought you out from this place: there shall no
leavened bread be eaten. [4] This day came ye out in the month Abib. [5] And
it shall be when the LORD shall bring thee into the land of the Canaanites,
and the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites, which
he sware unto thy fathers to give thee, a land flowing with milk and honey,
that thou shalt keep this service in this month. [6] Seven days thou shalt eat
unleavened bread, and in the seventh day shall be a feast to the LORD.
[7] Unleavened bread shall be eaten seven days; and there shall no leavened
bread be seen with thee, neither shall there be leaven seen with thee in all
thy quarters.
[8] And thou shalt shew thy son in that day, saying, This is done because of
that which the LORD did unto me when I came forth out of Egypt. [9] And it
shall be for a sign unto thee upon thine hand, and for a memorial between
thine eyes, that the LORD's law may be in thy mouth: for with a strong hand
hath the LORD brought thee out of Egypt. [10] Thou shalt therefore keep this
ordinance in his season from year to year.
[11] And it shall be when the LORD shall bring thee into the land of the
Canaanites, as he sware unto thee and to thy fathers, and shall give it thee,
[12] That thou shalt set apart unto the LORD all that openeth the matrix, and
every firstling that cometh of a beast which thou hast; the males shall be the
LORD's.
[13] And every firstling of an ass thou shalt redeem with a lamb; and if thou
wilt not redeem it, then thou shalt break his neck: and all the firstborn of
man among thy children shalt thou redeem. [14] And it shall be when thy son
asketh thee in time to come, saying, What is this? that thou shalt say unto
him, By strength of hand the LORD brought us out from Egypt, from the house of
bondage: [15] And it came to pass, when Pharaoh would hardly let us go, that
the LORD slew all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both the firstborn of
man, and the firstborn of beast: therefore I sacrifice to the LORD all that
openeth the matrix, being males; but all the firstborn of my children I
redeem. [16] And it shall be for a token upon thine hand, and for frontlets
between thine eyes: for by strength of hand the LORD brought us forth out of
Egypt. [17] And it came to pass, when Pharaoh had let the people go, that God
led them not through the way of the land of the Philistines, although that was
near; for God said, Lest peradventure the people repent when they see war, and
they return to Egypt:
[18] But God led the people about, through the way of the wilderness of the
Red sea: and the children of Israel went up harnessed out of the land of Egypt.
[19] And Moses took the bones of Joseph with him: for he had straitly sworn
the children of Israel, saying, God will surely visit you; and ye shall carry
up my bones away hence with you. [20] And they took their journey from
Succoth, and encamped in Etham, in the edge of the wilderness.
[21] And the LORD went before them by day in a pillar of a cloud, to lead them
the way; and by night in a pillar of fire, to give them light; to go by day
and night:
[22] He took not away the pillar of the cloud by day, nor the pillar of fire
by night, from before the people.
