Exodus 12:21-23

Revised Geneva Translation

²¹ Then, Moses called all the elders of Israel, and said to them, “Choose and take a lamb for each of your households; and kill the Passover.

²² “And take a bunch of hyssop and dip it in the blood that is in the basin. And strike the lintel and the side posts with the blood that is in the basin. And let none of you go out at the door of the house until the morning.

²³ “For the LORD will pass by to strike the Egyptians. And when He sees the blood upon the lintel, and on the two side posts, the LORD will pass over the door and will not allow the destroyer to come into your houses to plague you.
