Exodus 12:1-20

The Passover Lamb
12 Now Yahweh said to Moses and Aaron in the land of [a]Egypt, 2 “(A)This month shall be the beginning of months for you; it is to be the first month of the year to you. 3 Speak to all the congregation of Israel, saying, ‘On the tenth of this month they are each one to take a [b]lamb for themselves, according to their fathers’ households, a [c]lamb for [d]each household. 4 Now if the household is too small for a [e]lamb, then he and his neighbor nearest to his house are to take one according to the [f]number of persons in them; according to [g]what each man should eat, you are to [h]apportion the lamb. 5 Your [i]lamb shall be (B)a male, without blemish, a year old; you may take it from the sheep or from the goats. 6 [j]And you shall keep it until the (C)fourteenth day of the same month, then the whole assembly of the congregation of Israel shall slaughter it [k](D)at twilight. 7 (E)Moreover, they shall take some of the blood and put it on the two doorposts and on the lintel [l]of the houses in which they eat it. 8 And they shall eat the flesh (F)that night, (G)roasted with fire, and they shall eat it with (H)unleavened bread [m](I)and bitter herbs. 9 Do not eat any of it raw or boiled at all with water, but rather (J)roasted with fire, both its head and its legs along with (K)its entrails. 10 (L)And you shall not leave any of it over until morning, but whatever is left of it until morning, you shall burn with fire. 11 Now you shall eat it in this manner: with your loins girded, your sandals on your feet, and your staff in your hand; and you shall eat it in haste—it is (M)the Passover of Yahweh. 12 And (N)I will go through the land of Egypt on that night and will strike down all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both man and beast; and (O)against all the gods of Egypt I will execute judgments—(P)I am Yahweh. 13 (Q)And the blood shall be a sign for you on the houses where you are; and I will see the blood, and I will pass over you, and there shall be no plague among you [n]to destroy you when I strike the land of Egypt.
The Feast of Unleavened Bread
14 ‘Now (R)this day will be (S)a memorial to you, and you shall celebrate it as a feast to Yahweh; throughout your generations you are to celebrate it as [o](T)a perpetual statute. 15 (U)Seven days you shall eat unleavened bread, but on the first day you shall [p]remove leaven from your houses; for whoever eats anything leavened from the first day until the seventh day, (V)that [q]person shall be cut off from Israel. 16 (W)Now on the first day there shall be a holy convocation, and on the seventh day there shall be a holy convocation for you; no work at all shall be done on them, except what must be eaten [r]by every person, that alone may be done by you. 17 You shall also keep (X)the Feast of Unleavened Bread, for on this (Y)very day I brought your hosts out of the land of Egypt; therefore you shall keep this day throughout your generations as [s](Z)a perpetual statute. 18 (AA)In the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month at evening, you shall eat unleavened bread until the twenty-first day of the month at evening. 19 (AB)Seven days there shall be no leaven found in your houses; for whoever eats what is leavened, that [t](AC)person shall be cut off from the congregation of Israel, whether he is a sojourner or a native of the land. 20 You shall not eat anything leavened; in all your places of habitation you shall eat unleavened bread.’”
