Exodus 12:21-25
New King James Version
21 Then (A)Moses called for all the (B)elders of Israel and said to them, (C)“Pick out and take lambs for yourselves according to your families, and kill the Passover lamb. 22 (D)And you shall take a bunch of hyssop, dip it in the blood that is in the basin, and (E)strike the lintel and the two doorposts with the blood that is in the basin. And none of you shall go out of the door of his house until morning. 23 (F)For the Lord will pass through to strike the Egyptians; and when He sees the (G)blood on the [a]lintel and on the two doorposts, the Lord will pass over the door and (H)not allow (I)the destroyer to come into your houses to strike you. 24 And you shall (J)observe this thing as an ordinance for you and your sons forever. 25 It will come to pass when you come to the land which the Lord will give you, (K)just as He promised, that you shall keep this service.

Exodus 12:21-25
New International Version
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(A) lamb. 22 Take a bunch of hyssop,(B) dip it into the blood in the basin and put some of the blood(C) 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(D) down the Egyptians, he will see the blood(E) on the top and sides of the doorframe and will pass over(F) that doorway, and he will not permit the destroyer(G) to enter your houses and strike you down.
24 “Obey these instructions as a lasting ordinance(H) for you and your descendants. 25 When you enter the land(I) that the Lord will give you as he promised, observe this ceremony.
