Israel Sets Out

[Exod 12:37]

v.37
"This month shall be for you the beginning of months; it shall be the first month of the year for you.
Say to the whole congregation of Israel: On the tenth day of this month each man is to take a lamb for his household, one lamb per house.
If a household is too small for a whole lamb, he and his nearest neighbor shall share one, according to the number of people; you shall apportion the lamb by what each one can eat.
Your lamb shall be without blemish, a male a year old; you may take it from the sheep or from the goats.
You shall keep it until the fourteenth day of this month, and then the whole assembly of the congregation of Israel shall slaughter it at twilight.
They shall take some of the blood and put it on the two doorposts and on the lintel of the houses where they eat it.
Do not eat any of it raw or boiled in water, but roasted over the fire—its head with its legs and its inner parts.
You shall leave none of it until morning; whatever is left over by morning you shall burn in the fire.
This is how you shall eat it: with your belt fastened, your sandals on your feet, and your staff in your hand. Eat it in haste—it is the LORD's Passover.
For I will pass through the land of Egypt that night and strike down every firstborn in the land of Egypt, both man and beast, and I will execute judgment on all the gods of Egypt. I am the LORD.
The blood shall be a sign for you on the houses where you are. When I see the blood, I will pass over you, and no plague will come upon you to destroy you when I strike the land of Egypt.
This day shall be a day of remembrance for you, and you shall keep it as a festival to the LORD; throughout your generations you shall keep it as a lasting ordinance.
For seven days you shall eat unleavened bread. On the first day you shall remove all leaven from your houses, for whoever eats what is leavened, from the first day until the seventh, that person shall be cut off from Israel.
On the first day you shall hold a holy assembly, and on the seventh day another holy assembly. No work shall be done on those days, except what each of you must prepare to eat—that alone you may do.
You shall keep the Feast of Unleavened Bread, because on this very day I brought your hosts out of the land of Egypt. You shall keep this day throughout your generations as a lasting ordinance.
In the first month, from the evening of the fourteenth day until the evening of the twenty-first day, you shall eat unleavened bread.
For seven days no leaven is to be found in your houses, for whoever eats what is leavened shall be cut off from the congregation of Israel, whether a foreigner or a native of the land.
You shall eat nothing leavened; wherever you live you shall eat unleavened bread."
Then Moses called all the elders of Israel and said to them, "Go, select lambs for your families, and slaughter the Passover lamb.
Take a bunch of hyssop, dip it in the blood that is in the basin, and touch the lintel and the two doorposts with the blood in the basin. None of you shall go out the door of his house until morning.
For the LORD will pass through to strike the Egyptians, and when he sees the blood on the lintel and on the two doorposts, the LORD will pass over the door and will not let the destroyer enter your houses to strike you.
You shall keep this command as a statute for you and your children forever.
And when you come into the land the LORD will give you, as he promised, you shall observe this rite.
And when your children ask you, 'What does this rite mean to you?'
you shall say, 'It is the Passover sacrifice to the LORD, who passed over the houses of the Israelites in Egypt when he struck the Egyptians but spared our homes.'" Then the people bowed down and worshiped.
The Israelites went and did just as the LORD had commanded Moses and Aaron.
At midnight the LORD struck down every firstborn in the land of Egypt, from the firstborn of Pharaoh who sat on his throne to the firstborn of the prisoner in the dungeon, and every firstborn of the livestock.
Pharaoh rose up in the night, he and all his officials and all the Egyptians, and there was a great outcry in Egypt, for there was not a house without someone dead.
He summoned Moses and Aaron that night and said, "Get up, go out from among my people, both you and the Israelites! Go, worship the LORD as you have said.
Take your flocks and herds as well, just as you said, and go. And bless me too."
The Egyptians urged the people to hurry and leave the country, for they said, "We are all going to die!"
So the people took their dough before it was leavened, with their kneading bowls wrapped in their cloaks on their shoulders.
The Israelites had done as Moses told them: they asked the Egyptians for objects of silver and gold, and for clothing.
The LORD had made the Egyptians favorably disposed toward the people, so they granted their request. Thus they plundered Egypt.
The Israelites set out from Rameses for Succoth, about six hundred thousand men on foot, besides the children.
They baked the dough they had brought out of Egypt into unleavened loaves, for it had not risen; they had been driven out of Egypt and could not delay, nor had they prepared any provisions for themselves.
The time the Israelites lived in Egypt was four hundred and thirty years.
And at the end of four hundred and thirty years, on that very day, all the hosts of the LORD went out of the land of Egypt.
It was a night of vigil for the LORD, to bring them out of the land of Egypt. This same night is a vigil for the LORD, to be kept by all the Israelites throughout their generations.
Any man's slave bought with money may eat of it once you have circumcised him.
It must be eaten in a single house; you shall not carry any of the meat outside, and you shall not break any of its bones.
The whole congregation of Israel shall keep it.
If a foreigner living among you wants to celebrate the LORD's Passover, all the males of his household must be circumcised; then he may take part like a native of the land. But no uncircumcised person may eat of it.
The same law shall apply to the native and to the foreigner living among you."
All the Israelites did as the LORD had commanded Moses and Aaron; so they did.
And on that very day the LORD brought the Israelites out of the land of Egypt by their hosts.
