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.
