14 ‘So this day shall be to you aa memorial; and you shall keep it as a feast to the Lord throughout your generations. You shall keep it as a bfeast cby an everlasting ordinance.
15 aSeven days you shall eat unleavened bread. On the first day you shall remove leaven from your houses. For whoever eats leavened bread from the first day until the seventh day, bthat person shall be cut off from Israel.
16 On the first day there shall be aa holy convocation, and on the seventh 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.
17 So you shall observe the Feast of Unleavened Bread, for aon this same day I will have brought your1 armies bout of the land of Egypt. Therefore you shall observe this day throughout your generations as an everlasting ordinance.
18 aIn the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month at evening, you shall eat unleavened bread, until the twenty-first day of the month at evening.
19 For aseven days no leaven shall be found in your houses, since whoever eats what is leavened, that same person shall be cut off from the congregation of Israel, whether he is a stranger or a native of the land.
20 You shall eat nothing leavened; in all your dwellings you shall eat unleavened bread.’ ”
21 Then aMoses called for all the belders of Israel and said to them, c“Pick out and take lambs for yourselves according to your families, and kill the Passover lamb.
22 aAnd you shall take a bunch of hyssop, dip it in the blood that is in the basin, and bstrike the lintel and the two doorposts with the blood that is in the basin. And none of you shall go out of the door of his house until morning.
23 aFor the Lord will pass through to strike the Egyptians; and when He sees the bblood on the lintel and on the two doorposts, the Lord will pass over the door and cnot allow dthe destroyer to come into your houses to strike you.
