^26 (A)And when your children say to you, ‘^[a]What does this rite mean to you?’ ²⁷ then you shall say, ‘It is a Passover sacrifice to ^(B)the Lord because He passed over the houses of the sons of Israel in Egypt when He struck the Egyptians, but ^[b]spared our homes.’” ^(C)And the people bowed low and worshiped.
