Exodus 12:24-27

English Standard Version

²⁴ You shall observe this rite as a statute for you and for your sons forever. ²⁵ And when you come to the land that the Lord will give you, ^(A)as he has promised, you shall keep this service. ²⁶ And ^(B)when your children say to you, ‘What do you mean by this service?’ ²⁷ you shall say, ^(C)‘It is the sacrifice of the Lord's Passover, for he passed over the houses of the people of Israel in Egypt, when he struck the Egyptians but spared our houses.’” And the people ^(D)bowed their heads and worshiped.
