Exodus 12:43-51

The Voice

Eternal One (to Moses and Aaron): ⁴³ This is the requirement for Passover: no foreigner or outsider should eat this meal. ⁴⁴ But every slave bought with money may participate in this celebration if he has been initiated into the community by circumcision. ⁴⁵ No temporary residents or paid servants may share in it. ⁴⁶ The meal must be eaten in only one house. Don’t take any of the meat outside. Not one of the lamb’s bones shall be broken.^{[a] 47} The entire community of Israel must celebrate it. ⁴⁸ If you have outsiders living among you and they want to celebrate the Passover to the Eternal with you, then all the men must agree to be circumcised. Only after circumcision may they join in and celebrate with you; then you must treat them as if they were native-born. But make sure no uncircumcised male eats any part of the sacred meal. ⁴⁹ The same instruction applies to everyone equally—without distinction—the native as well as the outsider who is living among you.
