Exodus 12:43-51
New American Standard Bible
43 And the Lord said to Moses and Aaron, “This is the ordinance of (A)the Passover: no [a](B)foreigner is to eat it; 44 but as for every (C)slave [b]that someone has purchased with money, after you have circumcised him, then he may eat it. 45 (D)A stranger or a hired worker shall not eat it. 46 It is to be eaten in a single house; you are not to bring any of the meat outside of the house, (E)nor are you to break any bone of it. 47 (F)All the congregation of Israel are to [c]celebrate this. 48 But (G)if a stranger resides with you and [d]celebrates the Passover to the Lord, all of his males are to be circumcised, and then he shall come near to [e]celebrate it; and he shall be like a native of the land. But no uncircumcised male may eat it. 49 [f](H)The same law shall [g]apply to the native as to the stranger who resides among you.”
50 Then all the sons of Israel did so; they did just as the Lord had commanded Moses and Aaron. 51 And on that very day (I)the Lord brought the sons of Israel out of the land of Egypt (J)according to their [h]multitudes.

Passover Restrictions
43 The Lord said to Moses and Aaron, “These are the regulations for the Passover meal:(A)
“No foreigner(B) may eat it. 44 Any slave you have bought may eat it after you have circumcised(C) him, 45 but a temporary resident or a hired worker(D) may not eat it.
46 “It must be eaten inside the house; take none of the meat outside the house. Do not break any of the bones.(E) 47 The whole community of Israel must celebrate it.
48 “A foreigner residing among you who wants to celebrate the Lord’s Passover must have all the males in his household circumcised; then he may take part like one born in the land.(F) No uncircumcised(G) male may eat it. 49 The same law applies both to the native-born and to the foreigner(H) residing among you.”
50 All the Israelites did just what the Lord had commanded(I) Moses and Aaron. 51 And on that very day the Lord brought the Israelites out of Egypt(J) by their divisions.(K)
