Exodus 12:18-28
King James Version
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.

Exodus 12:18-28
New International Version
18 In the first month(A) 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(B) or native-born, who eats anything with yeast in it must be cut off(C) from the community of Israel. 20 Eat nothing made with yeast. Wherever you live,(D) you must eat unleavened bread.”(E)
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(F) lamb. 22 Take a bunch of hyssop,(G) dip it into the blood in the basin and put some of the blood(H) 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(I) down the Egyptians, he will see the blood(J) on the top and sides of the doorframe and will pass over(K) that doorway, and he will not permit the destroyer(L) to enter your houses and strike you down.
24 “Obey these instructions as a lasting ordinance(M) for you and your descendants. 25 When you enter the land(N) that the Lord will give you as he promised, observe this ceremony. 26 And when your children(O) ask you, ‘What does this ceremony mean to you?’ 27 then tell them, ‘It is the Passover(P) sacrifice to the Lord, who passed over the houses of the Israelites in Egypt and spared our homes when he struck down the Egyptians.’”(Q) Then the people bowed down and worshiped.(R) 28 The Israelites did just what the Lord commanded(S) Moses and Aaron.
