of her neighbour, jewels of silver, and jewels of gold.
[3] 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.
[4] And Moses said, Thus saith the LORD, About
midnight will I go out into the midst of Egypt:
[5] And all the firstborn in the land of Egypt shall die, from
the firstborn 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.
[6] 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.
[7] 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.
[8] 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.
[9] And the LORD said unto Moses,
Pharaoh shall not hearken unto you; that my wonders may be multiplied in the land of Egypt.
[10] 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.
Exod.12
[1] And the LORD spake unto Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt, saying,
[2] This month shall be
unto you the beginning of months: it shall be the first month of the year to you.
[3] 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:
[4] 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.
[5] Your lamb shall be without blemish,
a male of the first year: ye shall take it out from the sheep, or from the goats:
[6] 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.
[7] 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.
[8] And they shall eat the flesh in that
night, roast with fire, and unleavened bread; and with bitter herbs they shall eat it.
[9] 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.
[10]
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.
[11] And thus shall ye eat it; with your loins girded, your shoes on your feet, and
your staff in your hand; and ye shall eat it in haste: it is the LORD's passover.
[12] For I will pass through
the land of Egypt this night, and will smite all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both man and beast; and
against all the gods of Egypt I will execute judgment: I am the LORD.
[13] And the blood shall be to you
for a token upon the houses where ye are: and when I see the blood, I will pass over you, and the plague
shall not be upon you to destroy you, when I smite the land of Egypt.
[14] And this day shall be unto
you for a memorial; and ye shall keep it a feast to the LORD throughout your generations; ye shall keep
it a feast by an ordinance for ever.
[15] Seven days shall ye eat unleavened bread; even the first day
ye shall put away leaven out of your houses: for whosoever eateth leavened bread from the first day
until the seventh day, that soul shall be cut off from Israel.
[16] And in the first day there shall be an holy
convocation, and in the seventh day there shall be an holy convocation to you; no manner of work shall
be done in them, save that which every man must eat, that only may be done of you.
[17] And ye shall
observe the feast of unleavened bread; for in this selfsame day have I brought your armies out of the
land of Egypt: therefore shall ye observe this day in your generations by an ordinance for ever.
[18] In the
first month, on the fourteenth day of the month at even, ye shall eat unleavened bread, until the one and
twentieth day of the month at even.
[19] Seven days shall there be no leaven found in your houses: for
whosoever eateth that which is leavened, even that soul shall be cut off from the congregation of Israel,
whether he be a stranger, or born in the land.
[20] Ye shall eat nothing leavened; in all your habitations
shall ye eat unleavened bread.
[21] Then Moses called for all the elders of Israel, and said unto them,
Draw out and take you a lamb according to your families, and kill the passover.
[22] And ye shall take
a bunch of hyssop, and dip it in the blood that is in the bason, and strike the lintel and the two side
posts with the blood that is in the bason; and none of you shall go out at the door of his house until the
morning.
[23] For the LORD will pass through to smite the Egyptians; and when he seeth the blood upon
the lintel, and on the two side posts, the LORD will pass over the door, and will not suffer the destroyer
