Exodus 12:21–28

²¹And Moses calleth for all the elders of Israel, and saith unto them, ‘Draw out and take for yourselves from the flock, for your families, and slaughter the passover-sacrifice; ²²and ye have taken a bunch of hyssop, and have dipped it in the blood which is in the basin, and have struck it on the lintel, and on the two side-posts, from the blood which is in the basin, and ye, ye go not out each from the opening of his house till morning.

²³‘And Jehovah hath passed on to smite the Egyptians, and hath seen the blood on the lintel, and on the two side-posts, and Jehovah hath passed over the opening, and doth not permit the destruction to come into your houses to smite.

²⁴‘And ye have observed this thing, for a statute to thee, and to thy sons—unto the age; ²⁵and it hath been, when ye come in unto the land which Jehovah giveth to you, as He hath spoken, that ye have kept this service; ²⁶and it hath come to pass when your sons say unto you, What is this service ye have? ²⁷that ye have said, A sacrifice of passover it is to Jehovah, who passed over the houses of the sons of Israel in Egypt, in His smiting the Egyptians, and our houses He delivered.’ ²⁸And the people bow and do obeisance, and the sons of Israel go and do as Jehovah commanded Moses and Aaron; so have they done.
