New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
Directions for the Passover
43 The Lord said to Moses and Aaron, “This is the ordinance for the Passover: no foreigner shall eat of it, 44 but any slave who has been purchased may eat of it after he has been circumcised; 45 no bound or hired servant may eat of it. 46 It shall be eaten in one house; you shall not take any of the animal outside the house, and you shall not break any of its bones.(A) 47 The whole congregation of Israel shall do this.(B) 48 If an alien who resides with you wants to celebrate the Passover to the Lord, all his males shall be circumcised; then he may draw near to celebrate it; he shall be regarded as a native of the land. But no uncircumcised person shall eat of it; 49 there shall be one law for the native-born and for the alien who resides among you.”(C)
50 All the Israelites did just as the Lord had commanded Moses and Aaron. 51 That very day the Lord brought the Israelites out of the land of Egypt, company by company.(D)

Exodus 12:43-51
New American Standard Bible
43 And the Lord said to Moses and Aaron, “This is the ordinance of (A)the Passover: no [a](B)foreigner is to eat it; 44 but as for every (C)slave [b]that someone has purchased with money, after you have circumcised him, then he may eat it. 45 (D)A stranger or a hired worker shall not eat it. 46 It is to be eaten in a single house; you are not to bring any of the meat outside of the house, (E)nor are you to break any bone of it. 47 (F)All the congregation of Israel are to [c]celebrate this. 48 But (G)if a stranger resides with you and [d]celebrates the Passover to the Lord, all of his males are to be circumcised, and then he shall come near to [e]celebrate it; and he shall be like a native of the land. But no uncircumcised male may eat it. 49 [f](H)The same law shall [g]apply to the native as to the stranger who resides among you.”
50 Then all the sons of Israel did so; they did just as the Lord had commanded Moses and Aaron. 51 And on that very day (I)the Lord brought the sons of Israel out of the land of Egypt (J)according to their [h]multitudes.
