The First Passover
1
Now [[YHWH|the LORD]] said to Moses… and Aaron in the land of Egypt…,
יְהוָה֙ וַיֹּ֤אמֶר אֶל־ מֹשֶׁ֣ה וְאֶֽל־ אַהֲרֹ֔ן בְּאֶ֥רֶץ מִצְרַ֖יִם לֵאמֹֽר׃ Yah·weh way·yō·mer ’el- mō·šeh wə·’el- ’a·hă·rōn bə·’e·reṣ miṣ·ra·yim lê·mōr — WLC · 1
Εἶπεν δὲ κύριος πρὸς Μωυσῆν καὶ Ἀαρὼν ἐν γῇ Αἰγύπτου λέγων — LXX Swete · 1
2
“This month is the beginning of months for you; it [shall be] the first month of your year.
הַזֶּ֛ה הַחֹ֧דֶשׁ רֹ֣אשׁ חֳדָשִׁ֑ים לָכֶ֖ם הוּא֙ רִאשׁ֥וֹן לְחָדְשֵׁ֖י לָכֶ֔ם הַשָּׁנָֽה׃ haz·zeh ha·ḥō·ḏeš rōš ḥo·ḏā·šîm lā·ḵem hū ri·šō·wn lə·ḥā·ḏə·šê lā·ḵem haš·šā·nāh — WLC · 2
῾Ο μὴν οὗτος ὑμῖν ἀρχὴ μηνῶν, πρῶτός ἐστιν ὑμῖν ἐν τοῖς μησὶν τοῦ ἐνιαυτοῦ. — LXX Swete · 2
3
Tell… the whole congregation of Israel… that on the tenth day of this month each man must select a lamb for his family…, one per household.
דַּבְּר֗וּ אֶֽל־ כָּל־ עֲדַ֤ת יִשְׂרָאֵל֙ לֵאמֹ֔ר בֶּעָשֹׂ֖ר הַזֶּ֑ה לַחֹ֣דֶשׁ אִ֛ישׁ וְיִקְח֣וּ לָהֶ֗ם שֶׂ֥ה אָבֹ֖ת לְבֵית־ שֶׂ֥ה לַבָּֽיִת׃ dab·bə·rū ’el- kāl- ‘ă·ḏaṯ yiś·rā·’êl lê·mōr be·‘ā·śōr haz·zeh la·ḥō·ḏeš ’îš wə·yiq·ḥū lā·hem śeh ’ā·ḇōṯ lə·ḇêṯ- śeh lab·bā·yiṯ — WLC · 3

4
If the household… is too small for a whole lamb, they are to share with the nearest neighbor… based on the number of people, and apportion… the lamb accordingly -.
וְאִם־ הַבַּיִת֮ מִהְיֹ֣ת יִמְעַ֣ט מִשֶּׂה֒ ה֗וּא וְלָקַ֣ח הַקָּרֹ֥ב וּשְׁכֵנ֛וֹ אֶל־ בֵּית֖וֹ בְּמִכְסַ֣ת נְפָשֹׁ֑ת תָּכֹ֖סּוּ עַל־ הַשֶּֽׂה׃ אִ֚ישׁ לְפִ֣י אָכְל֔וֹ wə·’im- hab·ba·yiṯ mih·yōṯ yim·‘aṭ miś·śeh hū wə·lā·qaḥ haq·qā·rōḇ ū·šə·ḵê·nōw ’el- bê·ṯōw bə·miḵ·saṯ nə·p̄ā·šōṯ tā·ḵōs·sū ‘al- haś·śeh ’îš lə·p̄î ’ā·ḵə·lōw — WLC · 4

5
Your lamb must be an unblemished year-old… male, [and] you may take it from the sheep… or the goats.

6
You must keep it until the fourteenth… day of the month, when the whole assembly of the congregation of Israel will slaughter [the animals] at twilight.

7
They are to take some of the blood and put it on vvv the sides and tops of the doorframes of the houses where they eat [the lambs] -
וְלָֽקְחוּ֙ מִן־ הַדָּ֔ם וְנָֽתְנ֛וּ עַל־ שְׁתֵּ֥י הַמְּזוּזֹ֖ת וְעַל־ הַמַּשְׁק֑וֹף עַ֚ל הַבָּ֣תִּ֔ים אֲשֶׁר־ יֹאכְל֥וּ אֹת֖וֹ בָּהֶֽם׃ wə·lā·qə·ḥū min- had·dām wə·nā·ṯə·nū ‘al- šə·tê ham·mə·zū·zōṯ wə·‘al- ham·maš·qō·wp̄ ‘al hab·bāt·tîm ’ă·šer- yō·ḵə·lū ’ō·ṯōw bā·hem — WLC · 7

8
They are to eat the meat that night, roasted over the fire, along with unleavened bread… and bitter herbs -.

καὶ φάγονται τὰ κρέα τῇ νυκτὶ ταύτῃ ὀπτὰ πυρί, καὶ ἄζυμα ἐπὶ πικρίδων ἔδονται. — LXX Swete · 8
9
Do not eat any of [the meat] raw or cooked in boiling water, but only… roasted over the fire— its head and legs… and inner parts.

10
Do not leave any of it until morning; before the morning you must burn up… any part that is left over.
וְלֹא־ תוֹתִ֥ירוּ מִמֶּ֖נּוּ עַד־ בֹּ֑קֶר עַד־ בֹּ֖קֶר בָּאֵ֥שׁ תִּשְׂרֹֽפוּ׃ מִמֶּ֛נּוּ וְהַנֹּתָ֥ר wə·lō- ṯō·w·ṯî·rū mim·men·nū ‘aḏ- bō·qer ‘aḏ- bō·qer bā·’êš tiś·rō·p̄ū mim·men·nū wə·han·nō·ṯār — WLC · 10

11
This is how you are to eat it: You must be fully dressed for travel…, with your sandals on your feet and your staff in your hand. You are to eat in haste; it is [[YHWH|the LORD]]’s Passover.
וְכָכָה֮ תֹּאכְל֣וּ אֹתוֹ֒ מָתְנֵיכֶ֣ם חֲגֻרִ֔ים נַֽעֲלֵיכֶם֙ בְּרַגְלֵיכֶ֔ם וּמַקֶּלְכֶ֖ם בְּיֶדְכֶ֑ם וַאֲכַלְתֶּ֤ם אֹתוֹ֙ בְּחִפָּז֔וֹן ה֖וּא לַיהוָֽה׃ פֶּ֥סַח wə·ḵā·ḵāh tō·ḵə·lū ’ō·ṯōw mā·ṯə·nê·ḵem ḥă·ḡu·rîm na·‘ă·lê·ḵem bə·raḡ·lê·ḵem ū·maq·qel·ḵem bə·yeḏ·ḵem wa·’ă·ḵal·tem ’ō·ṯōw bə·ḥip·pā·zō·wn hū Yah·weh pe·saḥ — WLC · 11

12
On that night I will pass through the land of Egypt and strike down every firstborn male -, both man and beast, and I will execute judgment against all the gods of Egypt. I am [[YHWH|the LORD]].

13
The blood on the houses where you are staying will be a sign; when I see the blood, I will pass over you. No plague will fall on you to destroy you when I strike the land of Egypt.

The Feast of Unleavened Bread
14
And this day will be a memorial for you, and you are to celebrate it as a feast to [[YHWH|the LORD]], as a permanent statute for the generations to come.

15
For seven days you must eat… unleavened bread. On the first day you are to remove the leaven from your houses… Whoever eats anything leavened from the first day through the seventh… must be cut off… from Israel.

16
On the first day you are to hold a sacred assembly, and another… on the seventh day. You must not do any work on those days, except to prepare the meals -— that is all you may do

17
So you are to keep the Feast of Unleavened Bread, for on this very day I brought your divisions out of the land of Egypt. You must keep this day as a permanent statute for the generations to come.

18
In the first [month] you are to eat unleavened bread, from the evening of the fourteenth… day… until the evening of the twenty-first… day.

For seven days there must be no leaven found in your houses. If anyone eats something leavened, that person, whether a foreigner or native of the land, must be cut off from the congregation of Israel.

Take a cluster of hyssop, dip it into the blood in the basin, and brush the blood - on the top and vvv sides of the doorframe. None… of you shall go out the door of his house until morning.

23
When [[YHWH|the LORD]] passes through to strike down the Egyptians, He will see the blood on the top and vvv sides of the doorframe and will pass over that doorway; so He will not allow the destroyer to enter… your houses and strike you down.

27
you are to reply, ‘It is the Passover sacrifice to [[YHWH|the LORD]], who passed over the houses vvv of the Israelites in Egypt when He struck down - the Egyptians and spared our homes.’” Then the people bowed down and worshiped.

28
And the Israelites… went and did just what [[YHWH|the LORD]] had commanded Moses and Aaron -.

The Tenth Plague: Death of the Firstborn
29
Now at midnight… [[YHWH|the LORD]] struck down every firstborn male in the land of Egypt, from the firstborn of Pharaoh, who sat on his throne, to the firstborn of the prisoner in the dungeon…, as well as all the firstborn among the livestock.

During the night Pharaoh got up— he and all his officials and all… the Egyptians— and there was loud wailing in Egypt; for there was no house without… someone dead.

The Exodus Begins
31
Then [Pharaoh] summoned Moses and Aaron by night and said, “Get up, leave… my people, both you and the Israelites…! Go, worship [[YHWH|the LORD]] as you have requested.

33
And in order to send them out of the land quickly, the Egyptians… urged the people on. “For [otherwise],” they said, “we are all going to die!”

34
So the people took their dough before it was leavened, [carrying it] on their shoulders in kneading bowls wrapped in clothing.

Furthermore, the Israelites… acted on Moses’ word and asked the Egyptians for articles of silver and gold, and for clothing.

36
And [[YHWH|the LORD]] gave the people such favor in the sight of the Egyptians that they granted their request. In this way they plundered the Egyptians.

37
The Israelites… journeyed from Rameses to Succoth with about 600,000… men on foot, besides women and children.

And a mixed multitude also went up with them, along with great droves of… livestock, both flocks and herds.

39
Since their dough had no leaven, the people baked - what they had brought out of Egypt into unleavened loaves. For when they had been driven out of Egypt, they could not delay and had not prepared any provisions for themselves.

40
Now the duration vvv of the Israelites’ stay in Egypt was 430… years.

41
- At the end of the 430… years, to the very day, all [[YHWH|the LORD]]’s divisions went out of the land of Egypt.

Because [[YHWH|the LORD]] kept a vigil that night to bring them out of the land of Egypt,… this same night [is to be a vigil ] to [[YHWH|the LORD]], to be observed by all the Israelites… for the generations to come.

Instructions for the Passover
43
And [[YHWH|the LORD]] said to Moses and Aaron, “This is the statute of the Passover: No… foreigner… is to eat of it.

44
But any slave [who] vvv has been purchased… may eat of it, after you have circumcised him. -

48
If a foreigner resides with you and wants to celebrate [[YHWH|the LORD]]’s Passover, all the males [in the household] must be circumcised then he may come near to celebrate it, and he shall be like a native of the land… But no uncircumcised man may eat of it.
