02:012:027 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.
02:012:028 And the children of Israel went away, and did as the LORD
had commanded Moses and Aaron, so did they.
02:012:029 And it came to pass, that at midnight the LORD smote all the
firstborn in the land of Egypt, from the firstborn of Pharaoh that sat
on his throne unto the firstborn of the captive that was in the
dungeon; and all the firstborn of cattle.
02:012:030 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.
02:012:031 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.
02:012:032 Also take your flocks and your herds, as ye have said, and
be gone; and bless me also.
02:012:033 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.
02:012:034 And the people took their dough before it was leavened,
their kneadingtroughs being bound up in their clothes upon their
shoulders.
02:012:035 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:
02:012:036 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.
02:012:037 And the children of Israel journeyed from Rameses to
Succoth, about six hundred thousand on foot that were men, beside
children.
02:012:038 And a mixed multitude went up also with them; and flocks,
and herds, even very much cattle.
02:012:039 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.
02:012:040 Now the sojourning of the children of Israel, who dwelt in
Egypt, was four hundred and thirty years.
02:012:041 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.
02:012:042 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.
02:012:043 And the LORD said unto Moses and Aaron, This is the
ordinance of the passover: There shall no stranger eat thereof:
02:012:044 But every man's servant that is bought for money, when thou
hast circumcised him, then shall he eat thereof.
