And when the four hundred and thirty years were
expired, even the self same day departed all the hosts of the LORD out
of the land of Egypt. This is a night to be observed to the LORD,
because he brought them out of the land of Egypt. This is a night of
the LORD, to be kept of all the children of Israel and of their
generations after them. And the LORD said unto Moses and Aaron: this is
the manner of passover: there shall no stranger eat thereof, but all
the servants that are bought for money shall ye circumcise, and then
let them eat thereof. A stranger and a hired servant shall not eat
thereof. In one house shall it be eaten. Ye shall carry none of the
flesh out at the doors: moreover, see that ye break not a bone thereof.
All the multitude of the children of Israel shall observe it. If a
stranger dwell among you, and will hold Passover unto the LORD, let him
circumcise all that be males, and then let him come and observe it, and
be taken as one that is born in the land. No uncircumcised person shall
eat thereof. One manner of law shall be unto them that are born in the
land, and unto the strangers that dwell among you. And all the children
of Israel did as the LORD commanded Moses and Aaron. And even the self
same day did the LORD bring the children of Israel out of the land of
Egypt with their armies.
Chapter .xiij.
And the LORD spake unto Moses saying: Sanctify unto me all the
firstborn that open all manner matrices among the children of Israel,
as well of men as of beasts: for they are mine. And Moses said unto the
people: think on this day in which ye came out of Egypt and out of the
house of bondage: for with a mighty hand the LORD brought you out from
thence. See therefore that ye eat no leavened bread. This day come ye
out of Egypt in the month of Abib. When the LORD hath brought thee in
to the land of the Cananites, Hethites, Amorites, Hevites and
Iebusites, which he sware unto thy fathers that he would give thee: a
land wherein milk and honey floweth, then see that thou keep this
service in this same month. Seven days thou shalt eat sweet bread, and
the seventh day shall be feastful unto the LORD. Therefore thou shalt
eat sweet bread seven days, and see that there be no leavened bread
seen nor yet leaven among you in all your quarters. And thou shalt shew
thy son at that time saying: this is done, because of that which the
LORD did unto me when I came out of Egypt. Therefore it shall be a sign
unto thee upon thine hand and a remembrance between thine eyes, that
the LORD's law may be in thy mouth. For with a strong hand the LORD
brought thee out of Egypt, see thou keep therefore this ordinance in
his season from year to year. Moreover when the LORD hath brought thee
into the land of the Cananites, as he hath sworn unto thee and to thy
fathers, and hath given it thee, then thou shalt appoint unto the LORD
all that openeth the matrice, and all the firstborn among the beasts
which thou hast if they be males.
