Exodus 12:23-26

New American Standard Bible

A Memorial of Redemption

²³ For ^(A)the Lord will pass through to strike the Egyptians; but when He sees the blood on the lintel and on the two doorposts, the Lord will pass over the door and will ^(B)not allow the ^(C)destroyer to come in to your houses to strike you. ²⁴ And ^(D)you shall keep this event as an ordinance for you and your children forever. ²⁵ When you enter the land which the Lord will give you, as He has ^[a]promised, you shall keep this ^[b]rite. ^26 (E)And when your children say to you, ‘^[c]What does this rite mean to you?’
