¹² For ^(A)I will go through the land of Egypt on that night, and fatally strike all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, from the human firstborn to animals; and ^(B)against all the gods of Egypt I will execute judgments—^(C)I am the Lord.

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.

²⁷ then you shall say, ‘It is a Passover sacrifice to ^(A)the Lord because He passed over the houses of the sons of Israel in Egypt when He struck the Egyptians, but ^[a]spared our homes.’” ^(B)And the people bowed low and worshiped.
