Exodus 12:40-51

English Standard Version

⁴⁰ The time that the people of Israel lived in Egypt was 430 years. ⁴¹ At the end of ^(A)430 years, on that very day, all the hosts of the Lord went out from the land of Egypt. ⁴² It was a night of watching by the Lord, to bring them out of the land of Egypt; so this same night is a ^(B)night of watching kept to the Lord by all the people of Israel throughout their generations.

Institution of the Passover

⁴³ And the Lord said to Moses and Aaron, “This is the statute of the Passover: no foreigner shall eat of it, ⁴⁴ but every slave^[a] that is ^(C)bought for money may eat of it after you have circumcised him. ^45 (D)No foreigner or hired worker may eat of it. ⁴⁶ It shall be eaten in one house; you shall not take any of the flesh outside the house, and ^(E)you shall not break any of its bones. ^47 (F)All the congregation of Israel shall keep it. ^48 (G)If a stranger shall sojourn with you and would keep the Passover to the Lord, let all his males be circumcised. Then he may come near and keep it; he ^(H)shall be as a native of the land. But no uncircumcised person shall eat of it. ⁴⁹ There shall be ^(I)one law for the native and for the ^(J)stranger who sojourns among you.”

⁵⁰ All the people of Israel did just as the Lord commanded Moses and Aaron. ⁵¹ And on that very day the ^(K)Lord brought the people of Israel out of the land of Egypt by their ^(L)hosts.
