Exodus 12:25

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.

24 And you shall ^aobserve this thing as an ordinance for you and your sons forever.

25 It will come to pass when you come to the land which the Lord will give you, j^aust as He promised, that you shall keep this service.

26 ^aAnd it shall be, when your children say to you, ‘What do you mean by this service?’

27 that you shall say, ^a‘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 ^bbowed their heads and worshiped.

28 Then the children of Israel went away and ^adid so; just as the Lord had commanded Moses and Aaron, so they did.
