The Passover Instituted^(A)

12 Now the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt, saying, ^2 (B)“This month shall be your beginning of months; it shall be the first month of the year to you.

⁴⁰ Now the ^[a]sojourn of the children of Israel who lived in ^[b]Egypt was ^(A)four hundred and thirty years. ⁴¹ And it came to pass at the end of the four hundred and thirty years—on that very same day—it came to pass that ^(B)all the armies of the Lord went out from the land of Egypt. ⁴² It is ^(C)a ^[c]night of solemn observance to the Lord for bringing them out of the land of Egypt. This is that night of the Lord, a solemn observance for all the children of Israel throughout their generations.

⁵⁰ Thus all the children of Israel did; as the Lord commanded Moses and Aaron, so they did. ^51 (A)And it came to pass, on that very same day, that the Lord brought the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt ^(B)according to their armies.

The Firstborn Consecrated

13 Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, ^2 (C)“Consecrate^[a] to Me all the firstborn, whatever opens the womb among the children of Israel, both of man and beast; it is Mine.”

The Feast of Unleavened Bread^(D)

³ And Moses said to the people: ^(E)“Remember this day in which you went out of Egypt, out of the house of ^[b]bondage; for ^(F)by strength of hand the Lord brought you out of this place. ^(G)No leavened bread shall be eaten. ^4 (H)On this day you are going out, in the month Abib.

The Passover Reviewed^(A)

16 “Observe the ^(B)month of Abib, and keep the Passover to the Lord your God, for ^(C)in the month of Abib the Lord your God brought you out of Egypt by night.
