Exodus


Chapter 12
  1. Now the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt, saying,
  2. "This month shall be your beginning of months; it shall be the first month of the year to you.  (Deut. 16:1)
  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 his father, a lamb for a household.  (Joshua 4:19)
  4. 'And if the household is too small for the lamb, let him and his neighbour next to his house take it according to the number of the persons; according to each man's need you shall make your count for the lamb.
  5. 'Your lamb shall be without blemish, a male of the first year.  You may take it from the sheep or from the goats.
  6. 'Now you shall keep it until the fourteenth day of the same month.  Then the whole assembly of the congregation of Israel shall kill it at twilight.  (Lev. 23:5)
  7. 'And they shall take some of the blood and put it on the two doorposts and on the lintel of the houses where they eat it.
  8. 'Then they shall eat the flesh on that night; roasted in fire, with unleavened bread and with bitter herbs they shall eat it.
  9. 'On the first day there shall be a holy convocation for you.  No manner of work shall be done on them; but that which everyone must eat - that only may be prepared by you.  (Lev. 23:2;   Lev 23:7&8;   John 19:31)
  10. Then Moses called for all the elders of Israel and said to them, "Pick out and take lambs for yourselves according to your families, and kill the Passover lamb.  (Ex. 3:16;   Num. 9:4;   Heb. 11:28)
  11. "And it shall be, when your children say to you, 'What do you mean by this service?'  (Ex. 10:2)
  12. "that you shall say, 'It is the Passover sacrifice of the Lord, who passed over the houses of the children of Israel in Egypt when He struck the Egyptians and delivered our households.'"  So the people bowed their heads and worshiped.  (Ex. 4:31;   Ex. 12:11;   Ps. 44:1)
  13. Then the children of Israel went away and did so; just as the Lord had commanded Moses and Aaron, so they did.  (Heb. 11:28)
  14. And it came to pass 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 livestock.  (Ex. 9:6;   Num. 8:17;   Job 34:20)
  15. "In one house it shall be eaten; you shall not carry any of the flesh outside the house, nor shall you break one of its bones.  (John 19:36)
  16. "All the congregation of Israel shall keep it.  (Ex. 12:6)
