1. The Lord said to Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt,
|
1. And the LORD H3068 spoke H559 unto H413 Moses H4872 and Aaron H175 in the land H776 of Egypt H4714 , saying H559 ,
|
|
2. "This month will be the beginning of months. It will be the first month of the year to you.
|
2. This H2088 month H2320 shall be unto you the beginning H7218 of months H2320 : it H1931 shall be the first H7223 month H2320 of the year H8141 to you.
|
|
3. Speak to the people of Israel when they are gathered together. Tell them that on the tenth day of this month, every man must take a lamb for those of his father's house, a lamb for each house.
|
3. Speak H1696 ye unto H413 all H3605 the congregation H5712 of Israel H3478 , saying H559 , In the tenth H6218 day of this H2088 month H2320 they shall take H3947 to them every man H376 a lamb H7716 , according to the house H1004 of their fathers H1 , a lamb H7716 for a house H1004 :
|
|
4. If those in the house are too few to eat a lamb, let him and his nearest neighbor take the right amount for the number of people. Divide the lamb by how much each can eat.
|
4. And if H518 the household H1004 be too little H4591 for the lamb H4480 H1961 H4480 H7716 , let him H1931 and his neighbor H7934 next H7138 unto H413 his house H1004 take H3947 it according to the number H4373 of the souls H5315 ; every man H376 according to H6310 his eating H400 shall make your count H3699 for H5921 the lamb H7716 .
|
|
5. Your lamb must be perfect, a male lamb one year old. You may take it from the sheep or the goats.
|
5. Your lamb H7716 shall be H1961 without blemish H8549 , a male H2145 of the first H1121 year H8141 : ye shall take it out H3947 from H4480 the sheep H3532 , or from H4480 the goats H5795 :
|
|
6. Keep it until the fourteenth day of the same month. Then all the people of Israel are to kill it in the evening.
|
6. And ye shall keep H1961 H4931 it up until H5704 the fourteenth H702 H6240 day H3117 of the same H2088 month H2320 : and the whole H3605 assembly H6951 of the congregation H5712 of Israel H3478 shall kill H7819 it in H996 the evening H6153 .
|
|
7. Then they must take some of the blood and put it on the wood pieces at the sides and top of the door of each house where they will eat it.
|
7. And they shall take H3947 of H4480 the blood H1818 , and strike H5414 it on H5921 the two H8147 side posts H4201 and on H5921 the upper door post H4947 of H5921 the houses H1004 , wherein H834 they shall eat H398 it.
|
|
8. They must eat the meat that same night, made ready over a fire. They will eat it with bread made without yeast and with bitter plants.
|
8. And they shall eat H398 H853 the flesh H1320 in that H2088 night H3915 , roast H6748 with fire H784 , and unleavened bread H4682 ; and with H5921 bitter H4844 herbs they shall eat H398 it.
|
|
9. Do not eat any of it if it is not cooked or if it is made ready by boiling. But cook it over a fire, its head, legs and inside parts.
|
9. Eat H398 not H408 of H4480 it raw H4995 , nor sodden at all H1311 H1310 with water H4325 , but H3588 H518 roast H6748 with fire H784 ; his head H7218 with H5921 his legs H3767 , and with H5921 the purtenance H7130 thereof.
|
|
10. Do not save any of it until morning. Burn with fire whatever is left of it before morning.
|
10. And ye shall let nothing H3808 of H4480 it remain H3498 until H5704 the morning H1242 ; and that which remaineth H3498 of H4480 it until H5704 the morning H1242 ye shall burn H8313 with fire H784 .
|
|
11. "Eat it with your shoes on your feet and your walking stick in your hand. And you must eat it in a hurry. It is the time the Lord will pass over.
|
11. And thus H3602 shall ye eat H398 it; with your loins H4975 girded H2296 , your shoes H5275 on your feet H7272 , and your staff H4731 in your hand H3027 ; and ye shall eat H398 it in haste H2649 : it H1931 is the LORD H3068 's passover H6453 .
|
|
12. For I will go through the land of Egypt on that night. And I will kill all the first-born in the land of Egypt, both man and animal. I will punish all the gods of Egypt. I am the Lord.
|
12. For I will pass through H5674 the land H776 of Egypt H4714 this H2088 night H3915 , and will smite H5221 all H3605 the firstborn H1060 in the land H776 of Egypt H4714 , both man H4480 H120 and beast H929 ; and against all H3605 the gods H430 of Egypt H4714 I will execute H6213 judgment H8201 : I H589 am the LORD H3068 .
|
|
13. But the blood will mark for you the houses where you live. When I see the blood I will pass over you. And no trouble will come upon you to destroy you when I punish the land of Egypt.
|
13. And the blood H1818 shall be H1961 to you for a token H226 upon H5921 the houses H1004 where H834 ye H859 are : and when I see H7200 H853 the blood H1818 , I will pass H6452 over H5921 you , and the plague H5063 shall not H3808 be H1961 upon you to destroy H4889 you , when I smite H5221 the land H776 of Egypt H4714 .
|
|
14. "This day will be for you to remember. You must remember it by having a special supper in honor to the Lord. All of you must keep it as a law forever.
|
14. And this H2088 day H3117 shall be H1961 unto you for a memorial H2146 ; and ye shall keep H2287 it a feast H2282 to the LORD H3068 throughout your generations H1755 ; ye shall keep it a feast H2287 by an ordinance H2708 forever H5769 .
|
|
15. Seven days you must eat bread made without yeast. On the first day you must get all the yeast out of your houses. Whoever eats anything with yeast from the first day until the seventh day will be taken away from Israel.
|
15. Seven H7651 days H3117 shall ye eat H398 unleavened bread H4682 ; even H389 the first H7223 day H3117 ye shall put away H7673 leaven H7603 out of your houses H4480 H1004 : for H3588 whosoever H3605 eateth H398 leavened bread H2557 from the first day H4480 H7223 H3117 until H5704 the seventh H7637 day H3117 , that H1931 soul H5315 shall be cut off H3772 from Israel H4480 H3478 .
|
|
16. On the first day you must have a holy meeting of the people, and another holy meeting on the seventh day. Do no work at all on these days, except to get ready what every person must eat. You may do only that.
|
16. And in the first H7223 day H3117 there shall be a holy H6944 convocation H4744 , and in the seventh H7637 day H3117 there shall be H1961 a holy H6944 convocation H4744 to you; no H3808 manner H3605 of work H4399 shall be done H6213 in them, save H389 that which H834 every H3605 man H5315 must eat H398 , that H1931 only H905 may be done H6213 of you.
|
|
17. You must have the special supper of bread without yeast. For on this same day I brought your family groups out of the land of Egypt. So all of you must remember this day as a law forever.
|
17. And ye shall observe H8104 H853 the feast of unleavened bread H4682 ; for H3588 in this H2088 selfsame H6106 day H3117 have I brought your armies out H3318 H853 H6635 of the land H4480 H776 of Egypt H4714 : therefore shall ye observe H8104 H853 this H2088 day H3117 in your generations H1755 by an ordinance H2708 forever H5769 .
|
|
18. "In the first month, from the evening of the fourteenth day until the evening of the twenty-first day, you must eat bread made without yeast.
|
18. In the first H7223 month , on the fourteenth H702 H6240 day H3117 of the month H2320 at even H6153 , ye shall eat H398 unleavened bread H4682 , until H5704 the one H259 and twentieth H6242 day H3117 of the month H2320 at even H6153 .
|
|
19. There must be no yeast found in your houses for seven days. For whoever eats anything with yeast, that person, stranger or born in the land, will be cut off from the people of Israel.
|
19. Seven H7651 days H3117 shall there be no H3808 leaven H7603 found H4672 in your houses H1004 : for H3588 whosoever H3605 eateth H398 that which is leavened H2557 , even that H1931 soul H5315 shall be cut off H3772 from the congregation H4480 H5712 of Israel H3478 , whether he be a stranger H1616 , or born H249 in the land H776 .
|
|
20. Do not eat anything with yeast. You must eat bread made without yeast in all your homes."
|
20. Ye shall eat H398 nothing H3605 H3808 leavened H2557 ; in all H3605 your habitations H4186 shall ye eat H398 unleavened bread H4682 .
|
|
21. Then Moses called for all the leaders of Israel. He said to them, "Go and choose lambs for your families, and kill the Passover lamb.
|
21. Then Moses H4872 called H7121 for all H3605 the elders H2205 of Israel H3478 , and said H559 unto H413 them , Draw out H4900 and take H3947 you a lamb H6629 according to your families H4940 , and kill H7819 the passover H6453 .
|
|
22. Take a small branch and put it in the blood in the pot. Spread some of the blood on the wood pieces on the top and sides of the door. Then none of you go outside the door of his house until morning.
|
22. And ye shall take H3947 a bunch H92 of hyssop H231 , and dip H2881 it in the blood H1818 that H834 is in the basin H5592 , and strike H5060 H413 the lintel H4947 and the two H8147 side posts H4201 with H4480 the blood H1818 that H834 is in the basin H5592 ; and none H3808 H376 of you H859 shall go out H3318 at the door H4480 H6607 of his house H1004 until H5704 the morning H1242 .
|
|
23. For the Lord will pass through to kill the Egyptians. But when He sees the blood around your door, the Lord will pass over the door. He will not let the one who destroys come into your houses to kill you.
|
23. For the LORD H3068 will pass through H5674 to smite H5062 H853 the Egyptians H4714 ; and when he seeth H7200 H853 the blood H1818 upon H5921 the lintel H4947 , and on H5921 the two H8147 side posts H4201 , the LORD H3068 will pass H6452 over H5921 the door H6607 , and will not H3808 suffer H5414 the destroyer H7843 to come in H935 unto H413 your houses H1004 to smite H5062 you .
|
|
24. You must remember this as a law for you and your children forever.
|
24. And ye shall observe H8104 H853 this H2088 thing H1697 for an ordinance H2706 to thee and to thy sons H1121 forever H5704 H5769 .
|
|
25. You must remember this special time when you go to the land that the Lord has promised to give you.
|
25. And it shall come to pass H1961 , when H3588 ye be come H935 to H413 the land H776 which H834 the LORD H3068 will give H5414 you , according as H834 he hath promised H1696 , that ye shall keep H8104 H853 this H2063 service H5656 .
|
|
26. When your children ask you, 'What does this special time mean to you?'
|
26. And it shall come to pass H1961 , when H3588 your children H1121 shall say H559 unto H413 you, What H4100 mean ye by this H2063 service H5656 ?
|
|
27. you will say, 'It is a Passover gift to the Lord. Because He passed over the houses of the people of Israel in Egypt. He killed the Egyptians but saved our homes.' " And the people bowed to the ground and worshiped.
|
27. That ye shall say H559 , It H1931 is the sacrifice H2077 of the LORD H3068 's passover H6453 , who H834 passed H6452 over H5921 the houses H1004 of the children H1121 of Israel H3478 in Egypt H4714 , when he smote H5062 H853 the Egyptians H4714 , and delivered H5337 our houses H1004 . And the people H5971 bowed the head H6915 and worshiped H7812 .
|
|
28. Then the people of Israel went and did what the Lord had told Moses and Aaron.
|
28. And the children H1121 of Israel H3478 went away H1980 , and did H6213 as H834 the LORD H3068 had commanded H6680 H853 Moses H4872 and Aaron H175 , so H3651 did H6213 they.
|
|
29. At midnight the Lord killed all the first-born in the land of Egypt, from the first-born of Pharaoh who sat on the throne to the first-born of the one who was held in prison, and all the first-born of the cattle.
|
29. And it came to pass H1961 , that at midnight H2677 H3915 the LORD H3068 smote H5221 all H3605 the firstborn H1060 in the land H776 of Egypt H4714 , from the firstborn H4480 H1060 of Pharaoh H6547 that sat H3427 on H5921 his throne H3678 unto H5704 the firstborn H1060 of the captive H7628 that H834 was in the dungeon H1004 H953 ; and all H3605 the firstborn H1060 of cattle H929 .
|
|
30. Phar-aoh got up in the night, he and his servants and all the Egyptians. And there was a loud cry in Egypt. For there was no home where there was not someone dead.
|
30. And Pharaoh H6547 rose up H6965 in the night H3915 , he H1931 , and all H3605 his servants H5650 , and all H3605 the Egyptians H4714 ; and there was H1961 a great H1419 cry H6818 in Egypt H4714 ; for H3588 there was not H369 a house H1004 where H834 H8033 there was not H369 one dead H4191 .
|
|
31. Then Pharaoh called for Moses and Aaron at night. He said, "Get up and go away from my people, both you and the people of Israel. Go and worship the Lord, as you have said.
|
31. And he called H7121 for Moses H4872 and Aaron H175 by night H3915 , and said H559 , Rise up H6965 , and get you forth H3318 from among H4480 H8432 my people H5971 , both H1571 ye H859 and H1571 the children H1121 of Israel H3478 ; and go H1980 , serve H5647 H853 the LORD H3068 , as ye have said H1696 .
|
|
32. Take your flocks and your cattle, as you have said, and go. And pray that good will come to me also."
|
32. Also H1571 take H3947 your flocks H6629 and H1571 your herds H1241 , as H834 ye have said H1696 , and be gone H1980 ; and bless H1288 me also H1571 .
|
|
33. The Egyptians were trying to make the people hurry out of the land. For they said, "We will all be dead."
|
33. And the Egyptians H4714 were urgent H2388 upon H5921 the people H5971 , that they might send them out H7971 of H4480 the land H776 in haste H4116 ; for H3588 they said H559 , We be all H3605 dead H4191 men .
|
|
34. So the people took their dough before yeast had been added. They tied their dough pots in their clothes on their shoulders.
|
34. And the people H5971 took H5375 H853 their dough H1217 before H2962 it was leavened H2556 , their kneading troughs H4863 being bound up H6887 in their clothes H8071 upon H5921 their shoulders H7926 .
|
|
35. The people of Israel had done what Moses had said. They had asked the Egyptians for things made of silver and gold and for clothes.
|
35. And the children H1121 of Israel H3478 did H6213 according to the word H1697 of Moses H4872 ; and they borrowed H7592 of the Egyptians H4480 H4714 jewels H3627 of silver H3701 , and jewels H3627 of gold H2091 , and raiment H8071 :
|
|
36. And the Lord had given the people favor in the eyes of the Egyptians. So the Egyptians let them have whatever they asked for. And they took the best things of Egypt.
|
36. And the LORD H3068 gave H5414 the people H5971 H853 favor H2580 in the sight H5869 of the Egyptians H4714 , so that they lent H7592 unto them such things as they required . And they spoiled H5337 H853 the Egyptians H4714 .
|
|
37. The people of Israel traveled from Rameses to Succoth. There were about 600,000 men on foot, and also the women and children.
|
37. And the children H1121 of Israel H3478 journeyed H5265 from Rameses H4480 H7486 to Succoth H5523 , about six H8337 hundred H3967 thousand H505 on foot H7273 that were men H1397 , beside H905 children H4480 H2945 .
|
|
38. And a mixed group of people went with them, and very many flocks and cattle.
|
38. And a mixed H6154 multitude H7227 went up H5927 also H1571 with H854 them ; and flocks H6629 , and herds H1241 , even very H3966 much H3515 cattle H4735 .
|
|
39. They made the dough they had brought out of Egypt into loaves of bread without yeast. Yeast was not added to the dough because they had been sent out of Egypt and could not wait. They could not make ready any food for themselves.
|
39. And they baked H644 unleavened H4682 cakes H5692 of H853 the dough H1217 which H834 they brought forth H3318 out of Egypt H4480 H4714 , for H3588 it was not leavened H3808 H2556 ; because H3588 they were thrust out H1644 of Egypt H4480 H4714 , and could H3201 not H3808 tarry H4102 , neither H1571 H3808 had they prepared H6213 for themselves any victual H6720 .
|
|
40. The people of Israel had lived in Egypt 430 years.
|
40. Now the sojourning H4186 of the children H1121 of Israel H3478 , who H834 dwelt H3427 in Egypt H4714 , was four H702 hundred H3967 and thirty H7970 years H8141 .
|
|
41. At the end of 430 years, on that same day, all of the Lord's people left Egypt.
|
41. And it came to pass H1961 at the end H4480 H7093 of the four H702 hundred H3967 and thirty H7970 years H8141 , even the selfsame H2088 H6106 day H3117 it came to pass H1961 , that all H3605 the hosts H6635 of the LORD H3068 went out H3318 from the land H4480 H776 of Egypt H4714 .
|
|
42. It was a night to be remembered for the Lord for having brought them out of the land of Egypt. This night is for the Lord, to be remembered by all the people of Israel for all time.
|
42. It H1931 is a night H3915 to be much observed H8107 unto the LORD H3068 for bringing them out H3318 from the land H4480 H776 of Egypt H4714 : this H2088 is that H1931 night H3915 of the LORD H3068 to be observed H8107 of all H3605 the children H1121 of Israel H3478 in their generations H1755 .
|
|
43. The Lord said to Moses and Aaron, "This is the Law of the Passover. No stranger may eat of it.
|
43. And the LORD H3068 said H559 unto H413 Moses H4872 and Aaron H175 , This H2063 is the ordinance H2708 of the passover H6453 : There shall no H3808 H3605 stranger H1121 H5236 eat H398 thereof:
|
|
44. But every servant who is bought with money may eat of it, only after he has gone through the religious act of becoming a Jew.
|
44. But every H3605 man H376 's servant H5650 that is bought H4736 for money H3701 , when thou hast circumcised H4135 him, then H227 shall he eat H398 thereof.
|
|
45. A stranger or paid servant may not eat of it.
|
45. A foreigner H8453 and a hired servant H7916 shall not H3808 eat H398 thereof.
|
|
46. It must be eaten in one house. You must not carry any of the meat outside the house. And you must not break a bone of it.
|
46. In one H259 house H1004 shall it be eaten H398 ; thou shalt not H3808 carry forth H3318 aught of H4480 the flesh H1320 abroad H2351 out of H4480 the house H1004 ; neither H3808 shall ye break H7665 a bone H6106 thereof.
|
|
47. All the people of Israel must remember this.
|
47. All H3605 the congregation H5712 of Israel H3478 shall keep H6213 it.
|
|
48. But when a stranger staying with you wants to share in this special supper to the Lord, let all his men and boys go through the religious act of becoming a Jew. Then let him come near to share in the special supper. He will be like one who is born in the land. But no person who has not gone through the religious act may eat of it.
|
48. And when H3588 a stranger H1616 shall sojourn H1481 with H854 thee , and will keep H6213 the passover H6453 to the LORD H3068 , let all H3605 his males H2145 be circumcised H4135 , and then H227 let him come near H7126 and keep H6213 it ; and he shall be H1961 as one that is born in H249 the land H776 : for no uncircumcised person H3808 H3605 H6189 shall eat H398 thereof.
|
|
49. The same law is for the one who is born in the land and for the stranger who stays among you."
|
49. One H259 law H8451 shall be H1961 to him that is homeborn H249 , and unto the stranger H1616 that sojourneth H1481 among H8432 you.
|
|
50. Then all the people of Israel did just as the Lord had told Moses and Aaron.
|
50. Thus did H6213 all H3605 the children H1121 of Israel H3478 ; as H834 the LORD H3068 commanded H6680 H853 Moses H4872 and Aaron H175 , so H3651 did H6213 they.
|
|
51. On that same day the Lord brought the people of Israel out of the land of Egypt by their family groups.
|
51. And it came to pass H1961 the selfsame H2088 H6106 day H3117 , that the LORD H3068 did bring H3318 H853 the children H1121 of Israel H3478 out of the land H4480 H776 of Egypt H4714 by H5921 their armies H6635 .
