The Statute of the Passover
43 And Yahweh said to Moses and Aaron, “This is the statute of (A)the Passover: no [a](B)foreigner shall eat of it; 44 but every man’s (C)slave purchased with money, after you have circumcised him, then he may eat of it. 45 (D)A foreign resident or a hired person shall not eat of it. 46 It shall be eaten in a single house; you shall not bring forth any of the flesh outside of the house, (E)and you shall not break any bone of it. 47 (F)All the congregation of Israel shall [b]celebrate this. 48 But (G)if a sojourner sojourns with you and [c]celebrates the Passover to Yahweh, let all his males be circumcised, and then let him come near to [d]celebrate it; and he shall be like a native of the land. But no uncircumcised person may eat of it. 49 [e](H)The same law shall [f]apply to the native as to the sojourner who sojourns among you.”
50 So all the sons of Israel did; as Yahweh had commanded Moses and Aaron, thus they did. 51 And on that same day (I)Yahweh brought the sons of Israel out of the land of Egypt [g](J)by their hosts.

Passover Restrictions
43 The Lord said to Moses and Aaron, “These are the regulations for the Passover meal:(A)
“No foreigner(B) may eat it. 44 Any slave you have bought may eat it after you have circumcised(C) him, 45 but a temporary resident or a hired worker(D) 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.(E) 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.(F) No uncircumcised(G) male may eat it. 49 The same law applies both to the native-born and to the foreigner(H) residing among you.”
50 All the Israelites did just what the Lord had commanded(I) Moses and Aaron. 51 And on that very day the Lord brought the Israelites out of Egypt(J) by their divisions.(K)
