¹² For ^(A)I will pass through the land of Egypt that night, and I will strike all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both man and beast; and on ^(B)all the gods of Egypt I will execute judgments: ^(C)I am the Lord.

^23 (A)For the Lord will pass through to strike the Egyptians, and when he sees the blood on ^(B)the lintel and on the two doorposts, the Lord will pass over the door and ^(C)will not allow the destroyer to enter your houses to strike you.

²⁷ you shall say, ^(A)‘It is the sacrifice of the Lord's Passover, for he passed over the houses of the people of Israel in Egypt, when he struck the Egyptians but spared our houses.’” And the people ^(B)bowed their heads and worshiped.
