Exodus 12:24-27

New American Standard Bible

²⁴ And ^(A)you shall keep this event as an ordinance for you and your children forever. ²⁵ When you enter the land which the Lord will give you, as He has ^[a]promised, you shall keep this ^[b]rite. ^26 (B)And when your children say to you, ‘^[c]What does this rite mean to you?’ ²⁷ then you shall say, ‘It is a Passover sacrifice to ^(C)the Lord because He passed over the houses of the sons of Israel in Egypt when He struck the Egyptians, but ^[d]spared our homes.’” ^(D)And the people bowed low and worshiped.
