Exodus 12:23-25

Amplified Bible

A Memorial of Redemption

²³For the Lord will pass through to strike the Egyptians; and when He sees the blood on the lintel [above the entry way] and on the two doorposts, the Lord will pass over the door and will not allow ^[a]the destroyer to come into your houses to slay you. ²⁴You shall observe this event [concerning Passover] as an ordinance for you and for your children forever. ²⁵When you enter the land which the Lord will give you, as He has promised, you shall keep and observe this service.

Footnotes

Exodus 12:23 Another translation is “the destruction,” which would make Yahweh (God) Himself, and not an “Angel of the Lord,” the One who either “passes over” (Ex 12:13) or “destroys.”
