The Passover Instituted

1 Now the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt, saying,
2 a“This month shall be your beginning of months; it shall be the first month of the year to you.  
3 Speak to all the congregation of Israel, saying: ‘On the atenth of this month every man shall take for himself a lamb, according to the house of his father, a lamb for a household.  
4 And if the household is too small for the lamb, let him and his neighbor 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 awithout 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 afourteenth day of the same month. Then the whole assembly of the congregation of Israel shall kill it at twilight.  
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 anight; broasted in fire, with cunleavened bread and with bitter herbs they shall eat it.  
9 Do not eat it raw, nor boiled at all with water, but aroasted in fire—its head with its legs and its entrails.  
10 aYou shall let none of it remain until morning, and what remains of it until morning you shall burn with fire.  
11 And thus you shall eat it: with a belt on your waist, your sandals on your feet, and your staff in your hand. So you shall eat it in haste. aIt is the Lord’s Passover.  
12 ‘For I awill pass through the land of Egypt on that night, and will strike all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both man and beast; and bagainst all the gods of Egypt I will execute judgment: cI am the Lord.  
13 Now the blood shall be a sign for you on the houses where you are. And when I see the blood, I will pass over you; and the plague shall not be on you to destroy you when I strike the land of Egypt.
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.
