12 At ang Panginoon ay nagsalita kay Moises at kay Aaron sa lupain ng Egipto, na sinasabi,

Ang buwang ito'y magiging sa inyo'y pasimula ng mga buwan: siyang magiging unang buwan ng taon sa inyo.

Salitain ninyo sa buong kapisanan ng Israel na inyong sabihin: Sa ikasangpung araw ng buwang ito ay magsisikuha sila sa ganang kanila, bawa't lalake, ng isang kordero, ayon sa mga sangbahayan ng kanikanilang mga magulang, isang kordero sa bawa't sangbahayan:

At kung ang sangbahayan ay napakakaunti upang kumain ng isang kordero, ay siya nga at ang kaniyang malapit na kapitbahay ay magsasalosalo sa isa ayon sa bilang ng mga tao; ayon sa bawa't tao na kumakain gagawin ninyo ang pagbilang, sa kordero.

Ang inyong korderong pipiliin ay yaong walang kapintasan, isang lalake, na iisahing taon: inyong kukunin sa mga tupa, o sa mga kambing:

At inyong aalagaan hanggang sa ikalabing apat na araw ng buwang ito, at papatayin ng buong kapulungan ng kapisanan ng Israel, sa paglubog ng araw.

At kukuha sila ng dugo niyan, at ilalagay sa dalawang haligi ng pinto at sa itaas ng pintuan, sa mga bahay na kanilang kakainan.

At kanilang kakanin ang laman sa gabing yaon, na inihaw sa apoy, at tinapay na walang lebadura, kakanin nilang kaulam ng mapapait na gulay.

Huwag ninyong kaning hilaw, o luto man sa tubig, kundi inihaw sa apoy; ang kaniyang ulo pati ng kaniyang mga paa at pati ng kaniyang mga lamang loob.

10 At huwag kayong magtitira ng anoman niyaon hanggang sa kinaumagahan; kundi yaong matitira niyaon sa kinaumagahan ay inyong susunugin sa apoy.

11 At ganito ninyo kakanin; may bigkis ang inyong baywang, ang inyong mga pangyapak ay nakasuot sa inyong mga paa, at ang inyong tungkod ay tangnan ninyo sa inyong kamay; at inyong kakaning dalidali; siyang paskua ng Panginoon.

12 Sapagka't ako'y dadaan sa lupain ng Egipto sa gabing yaon, at aking lilipulin ang lahat ng mga panganay sa lupain ng Egipto, maging tao at maging hayop; at gagawa ako ng kahatulan laban sa lahat ng mga dios sa Egipto, ako ang Panginoon.

13 At ang dugo ay magiging sa inyo'y isang tanda sa mga bahay na inyong kinaroroonan: at pagka aking nakita ang dugo, ay lalampasan ko kayo, at walang salot na sasainyo, na papatay sa inyo, pananakit ko sa lupaing Egipto.

14 At ang araw na ito'y magiging sa inyo'y isang alaala, at inyong ipagdidiwang na pinakapista sa Panginoon; sa buong panahon ng inyong lahi ay inyong ipagdidiwang na pinakapista na bilang tuntunin magpakailan man.

15 Pitong araw na kakain kayo ng tinapay na walang lebadura; sa unang araw ay inyong ihihiwalay sa inyong mga bahay ang lebadura; sapagka't sinomang kumain ng tinapay na may lebadura mula sa unang araw hanggang sa ikapitong araw ay ihihiwalay sa Israel, ang taong yaon.

16 At sa unang araw ay magkakaroon kayo ng isang banal na pagkakatipon at sa ikapitong araw man ay magkakaroon ding kayo ng isang banal na pagkakatipon; walang anomang gawa na gagawin sa mga araw na iyan, liban na yaong nararapat kanin ng bawa't tao, na siya lamang maaaring gawin ninyo.

17 At iyong ipangingilin ang pista ng tinapay na walang lebadura; sapagka't sa araw ring ito kinuha ko ang inyong mga hukbo sa lupain ng Egipto: kaya't inyong ipangingilin ang araw na ito sa buong panahon ng inyong lahi, na bilang tuntunin magpakailan man.

18 Sa unang buwan ng ikalabing apat na araw ng buwan sa paglubog ng araw ay kakain kayo ng tinapay na walang lebadura, hanggang sa ikadalawang pu't isang araw ng buwan, sa paglubog ng araw.

19 Pitong araw, na walang masusumpungang lebadura sa inyong mga bahay: sapagka't sinomang kumain niyaong may lebadura, ay ihihiwalay sa kapisanan ng Israel, ang taong yaon, maging taga ibang lupa, o maging ipinanganak sa lupain.

20 Huwag kayong kakain ng anomang bagay na may lebadura; sa lahat ng inyong mga tahanan ay kakain kayo ng tinapay na walang lebadura.

21 Nang magkagayo'y ipinatawag ni Moises ang lahat ng matanda sa Israel, at sinabi sa kanila, Kayo'y lumabas at kumuha kayo ng mga kordero ayon sa inyo-inyong sangbahayan, at magpatay kayo ng kordero ng paskua.

22 At kayo'y kukuha ng isang bigkis na hisopo, at inyong babasain sa dugo, na nasa palanggana, at inyong papahiran ng dugo na nasa palanggana, ang itaas ng pinto at ang dalawang haligi ng pinto: at sinoman sa inyo ay huwag lalabas sa pinto ng kaniyang bahay hanggang sa kinaumagahan.

23 Sapagka't ang Panginoon ay daraan upang sugatan ang mga Egipcio; at pagkakita niya ng dugo sa itaas ng pinto at sa dalawang haligi ng pinto, ay lalampasan ng Panginoon ang pintong yaon, at hindi niya papayagan ang manunugat ay pumasok sa inyong mga bahay na sugatan kayo.

24 At inyong ipangingilin ang bagay na ito, na pinakatuntunin sa iyo at sa iyong mga anak magpakailan man.

25 At mangyayaring pagdating ninyo sa lupain na ibibigay sa inyo ng Panginoon, gaya ng kaniyang ipinangako, ay inyong tutuparin ang paglilingkod na ito.

26 At mangyayaring pagsasabi sa inyo ng inyong mga anak: Anong ibig ninyong sabihin sa paglilingkod na ito?

27 Na inyong sasabihin: Siyang paghahain sa paskua ng Panginoon, na kaniyang nilampasan ang mga bahay ng mga anak ni Israel sa Egipto, nang kaniyang sugatan ang mga Egipcio, at iniligtas ang aming mga sangbahayan. At ang bayan ay nagyukod ng ulo at sumamba.

28 At ang mga anak ni Israel ay yumaon at ginawang gayon; kung paanong iniutos ng Panginoon kay Moises at kay Aaron, ay gayong ginawa nila.

29 At nangyari sa hating gabi, na nilipol ng Panginoon ang lahat ng mga panganay sa lupain ng Egipto, mula sa panganay ni Faraon na nakaluklok sa kaniyang luklukan, hanggang sa panganay ng bilanggo na nasa bilangguan; at lahat ng panganay sa mga hayop.

30 At si Faraon ay bumangon sa kinagabihan, siya at lahat ng kaniyang mga lingkod, at lahat ng mga Egipcio, at nagkaroon ng isang malakas na hiyawan sa Egipto; sapagka't walang bahay na di mayroong isang patay.

31 At kaniyang tinawag si Moises at si Aaron sa kinagabihan, at sinabi, Kayo'y bumangon, umalis kayo sa gitna ng aking bayan kayo at sangpu ng mga anak ni Israel; at kayo'y yumaong maglingkod sa Panginoon, gaya ng inyong sinabi.

32 Dalhin ninyo kapuwa ang inyong mga kawan at ang inyong mga bakahan, gaya ng inyong sinabi, at kayo'y yumaon: at pagpalain din naman ninyo ako.

33 At pinapagmadali ng mga Egipcio, ang bayan, na madaliang pinaalis sila sa lupain; sapagka't kanilang sinabi, Kaming lahat ay patay na.

34 At dinala ng bayan ang kanilang masa bago humilab, na nababalot ang kanilang mga masa sa kanikanilang damit sa ibabaw ng kanikanilang balikat.

35 At ginawa ng mga anak ni Israel ayon sa salita ni Moises; at sila'y humingi sa mga Egipcio ng mga hiyas na pilak, at mga hiyas na ginto, at mga damit:

36 At pinagbiyayaan ng Panginoon ang bayan sa paningin ng mga Egipcio, ano pa't ibinigay sa kanila anomang hingin nila. At kanilang hinubaran ang mga Egipcio.

37 At ang angkan ni Israel ay naglakbay mula sa Rameses hanggang sa Succoth, na may anim na raang libong lalake na naglakad, bukod pa ang mga bata.

38 At isang karamihang samasama ang sumampa rin namang kasabay nila; at mga kawan, at mga bakahan, na napakaraming hayop.

39 At kanilang nilutong mga munting tinapay na walang lebadura ang masa na kanilang kinuha sa Egipto, sapagka't hindi pa humihilab, sapagka't sila'y itinaboy sa Egipto, at hindi sila nakatigil o nakapaghanda man ng anomang pagkain.

40 Ang pakikipamayan nga ng mga anak ni Israel, na ipinakipamayan nila sa Egipto, ay apat na raan at tatlong pung taon.

41 At nangyari sa katapusan ng apat na raan at tatlong pung taon, ng araw ding yaon ay nangyari, na ang lahat ng mga hukbo ng Panginoon ay umalis sa lupain ng Egipto.

42 Ito ay isang gabing pangingilin sa Panginoon dahil sa paglalabas niya sa kanila sa lupain ng Egipto: ito ay yaong gabi ng Panginoon na ipangingilin ng lahat ng mga anak ni Israel sa buong panahon ng kanilang lahi.

43 At sinabi ng Panginoon kay Moises at kay Aaron, Ito ang tuntunin sa paskua: walang sinomang taga ibang lupa na kakain niyaon:

44 Datapuwa't ang alipin ng bawa't lalake na nabili ng salapi, pagkatuli sa kaniya'y makakakain nga niyaon.

45 Ang nakikipamayan at ang alilang binabayaran ay hindi kakain niyaon.

46 Sa isang bahay kakanin; huwag kang magdadala ng laman sa labas ng bahay, ni sisira kayo ng kahit isang buto niyaon.

47 Ipangingilin ng buong kapisanan ng Israel.

48 At pagka ang isang taga ibang lupa ay makikipamayan kasama mo, at mangingilin ng paskua sa Panginoon, ay tuliin lahat ang kaniyang mga lalake at saka siya lumapit at ipangilin: at siya'y magiging parang ipinanganak sa lupain ninyo; datapuwa't sinomang di tuli ay hindi makakakain niyaon.

49 Isang kautusan magkakaroon sa ipinanganak sa lupain, at sa taga ibang bayan na nakikipamayang kasama ninyo.

50 Gayon ginawa ng lahat ng mga anak ni Israel; kung paanong iniutos ng Panginoon kay Moises at kay Aaron, gayon nila ginawa.

51 At nangyari nang araw ding yaon, na kinuha ng Panginoon ang mga anak ni Israel sa lupain ng Egipto, ayon sa kanilang mga hukbo.

12 And the Lord spake unto Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt saying,

This month shall be unto you the beginning of months: it shall be the first month of the year to you.

Speak ye unto all the congregation of Israel, saying, In the tenth day of this month they shall take to them every man a lamb, according to the house of their fathers, a lamb for an house:

And if the household be too little for the lamb, let him and his neighbour next unto his house take it according to the number of the souls; every man according to his eating shall make your count for the lamb.

Your lamb shall be without blemish, a male of the first year: ye shall take it out from the sheep, or from the goats:

And ye shall keep it up until the fourteenth day of the same month: and the whole assembly of the congregation of Israel shall kill it in the evening.

And they shall take of the blood, and strike it on the two side posts and on the upper door post of the houses, wherein they shall eat it.

And they shall eat the flesh in that night, roast with fire, and unleavened bread; and with bitter herbs they shall eat it.

Eat not of it raw, nor sodden at all with water, but roast with fire; his head with his legs, and with the purtenance thereof.

10 And ye shall let nothing of it remain until the morning; and that which remaineth of it until the morning ye shall burn with fire.

11 And thus shall ye eat it; with your loins girded, your shoes on your feet, and your staff in your hand; and ye shall eat it in haste: it is the Lord's passover.

12 For I will pass through the land of Egypt this night, and will smite all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both man and beast; and against all the gods of Egypt I will execute judgment: I am the Lord.

13 And the blood shall be to you for a token upon the houses where ye are: and when I see the blood, I will pass over you, and the plague shall not be upon you to destroy you, when I smite the land of Egypt.

14 And this day shall be unto you for a memorial; and ye shall keep it a feast to the Lord throughout your generations; ye shall keep it a feast by an ordinance for ever.

15 Seven days shall ye eat unleavened bread; even the first day ye shall put away leaven out of your houses: for whosoever eateth leavened bread from the first day until the seventh day, that soul shall be cut off from Israel.

16 And in the first day there shall be an holy convocation, and in the seventh day there shall be an holy convocation to you; no manner of work shall be done in them, save that which every man must eat, that only may be done of you.

17 And ye shall observe the feast of unleavened bread; for in this selfsame day have I brought your armies out of the land of Egypt: therefore shall ye observe this day in your generations by an ordinance for ever.

18 In the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month at even, ye shall eat unleavened bread, until the one and twentieth day of the month at even.

19 Seven days shall there be no leaven found in your houses: for whosoever eateth that which is leavened, even that soul shall be cut off from the congregation of Israel, whether he be a stranger, or born in the land.

20 Ye shall eat nothing leavened; in all your habitations shall ye eat unleavened bread.

21 Then Moses called for all the elders of Israel, and said unto them, Draw out and take you a lamb according to your families, and kill the passover.

22 And ye shall take a bunch of hyssop, and dip it in the blood that is in the bason, and strike the lintel and the two side posts with the blood that is in the bason; and none of you shall go out at the door of his house until the morning.

23 For the Lord will pass through to smite the Egyptians; and when he seeth the blood upon the lintel, and on the two side posts, the Lord will pass over the door, and will not suffer the destroyer to come in unto your houses to smite you.

24 And ye shall observe this thing for an ordinance to thee and to thy sons for ever.

25 And it shall come to pass, when ye be come to the land which the Lord will give you, according as he hath promised, that ye shall keep this service.

26 And it shall come to pass, when your children shall say unto you, What mean ye by this service?

27 That ye shall say, It is the sacrifice of the Lord's passover, who passed over the houses of the children of Israel in Egypt, when he smote the Egyptians, and delivered our houses. And the people bowed the head and worshipped.

28 And the children of Israel went away, and did as the Lord had commanded Moses and Aaron, so did they.

29 And it came to pass, that at midnight the Lord smote all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, from the firstborn of Pharaoh that sat on his throne unto the firstborn of the captive that was in the dungeon; and all the firstborn of cattle.

30 And Pharaoh rose up in the night, he, and all his servants, and all the Egyptians; and there was a great cry in Egypt; for there was not a house where there was not one dead.

31 And he called for Moses and Aaron by night, and said, Rise up, and get you forth from among my people, both ye and the children of Israel; and go, serve the Lord, as ye have said.

32 Also take your flocks and your herds, as ye have said, and be gone; and bless me also.

33 And the Egyptians were urgent upon the people, that they might send them out of the land in haste; for they said, We be all dead men.

34 And the people took their dough before it was leavened, their kneadingtroughs being bound up in their clothes upon their shoulders.

35 And the children of Israel did according to the word of Moses; and they borrowed of the Egyptians jewels of silver, and jewels of gold, and raiment:

36 And the Lord gave the people favour in the sight of the Egyptians, so that they lent unto them such things as they required. And they spoiled the Egyptians.

37 And the children of Israel journeyed from Rameses to Succoth, about six hundred thousand on foot that were men, beside children.

38 And a mixed multitude went up also with them; and flocks, and herds, even very much cattle.

39 And they baked unleavened cakes of the dough which they brought forth out of Egypt, for it was not leavened; because they were thrust out of Egypt, and could not tarry, neither had they prepared for themselves any victual.

40 Now the sojourning of the children of Israel, who dwelt in Egypt, was four hundred and thirty years.

41 And it came to pass at the end of the four hundred and thirty years, even the selfsame day it came to pass, that all the hosts of the Lord went out from the land of Egypt.

42 It is a night to be much observed unto the Lord for bringing them out from the land of Egypt: this is that night of the Lord to be observed of all the children of Israel in their generations.

43 And the Lord said unto Moses and Aaron, This is the ordinance of the passover: There shall no stranger eat thereof:

44 But every man's servant that is bought for money, when thou hast circumcised him, then shall he eat thereof.

45 A foreigner and an hired servant shall not eat thereof.

46 In one house shall it be eaten; thou shalt not carry forth ought of the flesh abroad out of the house; neither shall ye break a bone thereof.

47 All the congregation of Israel shall keep it.

48 And when a stranger shall sojourn with thee, and will keep the passover to the Lord, let all his males be circumcised, and then let him come near and keep it; and he shall be as one that is born in the land: for no uncircumcised person shall eat thereof.

49 One law shall be to him that is homeborn, and unto the stranger that sojourneth among you.

50 Thus did all the children of Israel; as the Lord commanded Moses and Aaron, so did they.

51 And it came to pass the selfsame day, that the Lord did bring the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt by their armies.

The Passover and the Festival of Unleavened Bread(A)

12 The Lord said to Moses and Aaron in Egypt, “This month is to be for you the first month,(B) the first month of your year. Tell the whole community of Israel that on the tenth day of this month each man is to take a lamb[a](C) for his family, one for each household.(D) If any household is too small for a whole lamb, they must share one with their nearest neighbor, having taken into account the number of people there are. You are to determine the amount of lamb needed in accordance with what each person will eat. The animals you choose must be year-old males without defect,(E) and you may take them from the sheep or the goats. Take care of them until the fourteenth day of the month,(F) when all the members of the community of Israel must slaughter them at twilight.(G) Then they are to take some of the blood(H) and put it on the sides and tops of the doorframes of the houses where they eat the lambs. That same night(I) they are to eat the meat roasted(J) over the fire, along with bitter herbs,(K) and bread made without yeast.(L) Do not eat the meat raw or boiled in water, but roast it over a fire—with the head, legs and internal organs.(M) 10 Do not leave any of it till morning;(N) if some is left till morning, you must burn it. 11 This is how you are to eat it: with your cloak tucked into your belt, your sandals on your feet and your staff in your hand. Eat it in haste;(O) it is the Lord’s Passover.(P)

12 “On that same night I will pass through(Q) Egypt and strike down(R) every firstborn(S) of both people and animals, and I will bring judgment on all the gods(T) of Egypt. I am the Lord.(U) 13 The blood will be a sign for you on the houses where you are, and when I see the blood, I will pass over(V) you. No destructive plague will touch you when I strike Egypt.(W)

14 “This is a day you are to commemorate;(X) for the generations to come you shall celebrate it as a festival to the Lord—a lasting ordinance.(Y) 15 For seven days you are to eat bread made without yeast.(Z) On the first day remove the yeast from your houses, for whoever eats anything with yeast in it from the first day through the seventh must be cut off(AA) from Israel. 16 On the first day hold a sacred assembly, and another one on the seventh day. Do no work(AB) at all on these days, except to prepare food for everyone to eat; that is all you may do.

17 “Celebrate the Festival of Unleavened Bread,(AC) because it was on this very day that I brought your divisions out of Egypt.(AD) Celebrate this day as a lasting ordinance for the generations to come.(AE) 18 In the first month(AF) you are to eat bread made without yeast, from the evening of the fourteenth day until the evening of the twenty-first day. 19 For seven days no yeast is to be found in your houses. And anyone, whether foreigner(AG) or native-born, who eats anything with yeast in it must be cut off(AH) from the community of Israel. 20 Eat nothing made with yeast. Wherever you live,(AI) you must eat unleavened bread.”(AJ)

21 Then Moses summoned all the elders of Israel and said to them, “Go at once and select the animals for your families and slaughter the Passover(AK) lamb. 22 Take a bunch of hyssop,(AL) dip it into the blood in the basin and put some of the blood(AM) on the top and on both sides of the doorframe. None of you shall go out of the door of your house until morning. 23 When the Lord goes through the land to strike(AN) down the Egyptians, he will see the blood(AO) on the top and sides of the doorframe and will pass over(AP) that doorway, and he will not permit the destroyer(AQ) to enter your houses and strike you down.

24 “Obey these instructions as a lasting ordinance(AR) for you and your descendants. 25 When you enter the land(AS) that the Lord will give you as he promised, observe this ceremony. 26 And when your children(AT) ask you, ‘What does this ceremony mean to you?’ 27 then tell them, ‘It is the Passover(AU) sacrifice to the Lord, who passed over the houses of the Israelites in Egypt and spared our homes when he struck down the Egyptians.’”(AV) Then the people bowed down and worshiped.(AW) 28 The Israelites did just what the Lord commanded(AX) Moses and Aaron.

29 At midnight(AY) the Lord(AZ) struck down all the firstborn(BA) in Egypt, from the firstborn of Pharaoh, who sat on the throne, to the firstborn of the prisoner, who was in the dungeon, and the firstborn of all the livestock(BB) as well. 30 Pharaoh and all his officials and all the Egyptians got up during the night, and there was loud wailing(BC) in Egypt, for there was not a house without someone dead.

The Exodus

31 During the night Pharaoh summoned Moses and Aaron and said, “Up! Leave my people, you and the Israelites! Go, worship(BD) the Lord as you have requested. 32 Take your flocks and herds,(BE) as you have said, and go. And also bless(BF) me.”

33 The Egyptians urged the people to hurry(BG) and leave(BH) the country. “For otherwise,” they said, “we will all die!”(BI) 34 So the people took their dough before the yeast was added, and carried it on their shoulders in kneading troughs(BJ) wrapped in clothing. 35 The Israelites did as Moses instructed and asked the Egyptians for articles of silver and gold(BK) and for clothing.(BL) 36 The Lord had made the Egyptians favorably disposed(BM) toward the people, and they gave them what they asked for; so they plundered(BN) the Egyptians.

37 The Israelites journeyed from Rameses(BO) to Sukkoth.(BP) There were about six hundred thousand men(BQ) on foot, besides women and children. 38 Many other people(BR) went up with them, and also large droves of livestock, both flocks and herds. 39 With the dough the Israelites had brought from Egypt, they baked loaves of unleavened bread. The dough was without yeast because they had been driven out(BS) of Egypt and did not have time to prepare food for themselves.

40 Now the length of time the Israelite people lived in Egypt[b] was 430 years.(BT) 41 At the end of the 430 years, to the very day, all the Lord’s divisions(BU) left Egypt.(BV) 42 Because the Lord kept vigil that night to bring them out of Egypt, on this night all the Israelites are to keep vigil to honor the Lord for the generations to come.(BW)

Passover Restrictions

43 The Lord said to Moses and Aaron, “These are the regulations for the Passover meal:(BX)

“No foreigner(BY) may eat it. 44 Any slave you have bought may eat it after you have circumcised(BZ) him, 45 but a temporary resident or a hired worker(CA) may not eat it.

46 “It must be eaten inside the house; take none of the meat outside the house. Do not break any of the bones.(CB) 47 The whole community of Israel must celebrate it.

48 “A foreigner residing among you who wants to celebrate the Lord’s Passover must have all the males in his household circumcised; then he may take part like one born in the land.(CC) No uncircumcised(CD) male may eat it. 49 The same law applies both to the native-born and to the foreigner(CE) residing among you.”

50 All the Israelites did just what the Lord had commanded(CF) Moses and Aaron. 51 And on that very day the Lord brought the Israelites out of Egypt(CG) by their divisions.(CH)
