02:011:003 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.
02:011:004 And Moses said, Thus saith the LORD, About midnight will I
go out into the midst of Egypt:
02:011:005 And all the firstborn in the land of Egypt shall die, from
the first born 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.
02:011:006 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.
02:011:007 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.
02:011:008 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.
02:011:009 And the LORD said unto Moses, Pharaoh shall not hearken unto
you; that my wonders may be multiplied in the land of Egypt.
02:011:010 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.
02:012:001 And the LORD spake unto Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt
saying,
02:012:002 This month shall be unto you the beginning of months: it
shall be the first month of the year to you.
02:012:003 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:
02:012:004 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.
02:012:005 Your lamb shall be without blemish, a male of the first
year: ye shall take it out from the sheep, or from the goats:
02:012:006 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.
02:012:007 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.
02:012:008 And they shall eat the flesh in that night, roast with fire,
and unleavened bread; and with bitter herbs they shall eat it.
02:012:009 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.
02:012:010 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.
