¹ Dixit quoque Dominus ad Moysen et Aaron in terra Ægypti :

² Mensis iste, vobis principium mensium : primus erit in mensibus anni.

³ Loquimini ad universum cœtum filiorum Israël, et dicite eis : Decima die mensis hujus tollat unusquisque agnum per familias et domos suas.

⁴ Sin autem minor est numerus ut sufficere possit ad vescendum agnum, assumet vicinum suum qui junctus est domui suæ, juxta numerum animarum quæ sufficere possunt ad esum agni.

⁵ Erit autem agnus absque macula, masculus, anniculus : juxta quem ritum tolletis et hædum.

⁶ Et servabitis eum usque ad quartamdecimam diem mensis hujus : immolabitque eum universa multitudo filiorum Israël ad vesperam.

⁷ Et sument de sanguine ejus, ac ponent super utrumque postem, et in superliminaribus domorum, in quibus comedent illum.

⁸ Et edent carnes nocte illa assas igni, et azymos panes cum lactucis agrestibus.

⁹ Non comedetis ex eo crudum quid, nec coctum aqua, sed tantum assum igni : caput cum pedibus ejus et intestinis vorabitis.

¹⁰ Nec remanebit quidquam ex eo usque mane ; si quid residuum fuerit, igne comburetis.

¹¹ Sic autem comedetis illum : renes vestros accingetis, et calceamenta habebitis in pedibus, tenentes baculos in manibus, et comedetis festinanter : est enim Phase (id est, transitus) Domini.

¹² Et transibo per terram Ægypti nocte illa, percutiamque omne primogenitum in terra Ægypti ab homine usque ad pecus : et in cunctis diis Ægypti faciam judicia. Ego Dominus.

¹³ Erit autem sanguis vobis in signum in ædibus in quibus eritis : et videbo sanguinem, et transibo vos : nec erit in vobis plaga disperdens quando percussero terram Ægypti.

¹⁴ Habebitis autem hunc diem in monimentum : et celebrabitis eam solemnem Domino in generationibus vestris cultu sempiterno.

¹⁵ Septem diebus azyma comedetis : in die primo non erit fermentum in domibus vestris : quicumque comederit fermentatum, peribit anima illa de Israël, a primo die usque ad diem septimum.

¹⁶ Dies prima erit sancta atque solemnis, et Dies septima eadem festivitate venerabilis : nihil operis facietis in eis, exceptis his, quæ ad vescendum pertinent.

¹⁷ Et observabitis azyma : in eadem enim ipsa die educam exercitum vestrum de terra Ægypti, et custodietis diem istum in generationes vestras ritu perpetuo.

¹⁸ Primo mense, quartadecima die mensis ad vesperam, comedetis azyma usque ad diem vigesimam primam ejusdem mensis ad vesperam.

¹⁹ Septem diebus fermentum non invenietur in domibus vestris : qui comederit fermentatum, peribit anima ejus de cœtu Israël, tam de advenis quam de indigenis terræ.

²⁰ Omne fermentatum non comedetis : in cunctis habitaculis vestris edetis azyma.

²¹ Vocavit autem Moyses omnes seniores filiorum Israël, et dixit ad eos : Ite tollentes animal per familias vestras, et immolate Phase.

²² Fasciculumque hyssopi tingite in sanguine qui est in limine, et aspergite ex eo superliminare, et utrumque postem : nullus vestrum egrediatur ostium domus suæ usque mane.

²³ Transibit enim Dominus percutiens Ægyptios : cumque viderit sanguinem in superliminari, et in utroque poste, transcendet ostium domus, et non sinet percussorem ingredi domos vestras et lædere.

²⁴ Custodi verbum istud legitimum tibi et filiis tuis usque in æternum.

²⁵ Cumque introieritis terram, quam Dominus daturus est vobis ut pollicitus est, observabitis cæremonias istas.

²⁶ Et cum dixerint vobis filii vestri : Quæ est ista religio ?

²⁷ victima transitus Domini est, quando transivit super domos filiorum Israël in Ægypto, percutiens Ægyptios, et domos nostras liberans. Incurvatusque populus adoravit.

²⁸ Et egressi filii Israël fecerunt sicut præceperat Dominus Moysi et Aaron.

²⁹ Factum est autem in noctis medio, percussit Dominus omne primogenitum in terra Ægypti, a primogenito Pharaonis, qui in solio ejus sedebat, usque ad primogenitum captivæ quæ erat in carcere, et omne primogenitum jumentorum.

³⁰ Surrexitque Pharao nocte, et omnes servi ejus, cunctaque Ægyptus : et ortus est clamor magnus in Ægypto : neque enim erat domus in qua non jaceret mortuus.

³¹ Vocatisque Pharao Moyse et Aaron nocte, ait : Surgite et egredimini a populo meo, vos et filii Israël : ite, immolate Domino sicut dicitis.

³² Oves vestras et armenta assumite ut petieratis, et abeuntes benedicite mihi.

³³ Urgebantque Ægyptii populum de terra exire velociter, dicentes : Omnes moriemur.

³⁴ Tulit igitur populus conspersam farinam antequam fermentaretur : et ligans in palliis, posuit super humeros suos.

³⁵ Feceruntque filii Israël sicut præceperat Moyses : et petierunt ab Ægyptiis vasa argentea et aurea, vestemque plurimam.

³⁶ Dominus autem dedit gratiam populo coram Ægyptiis ut commodarent eis : et spoliaverunt Ægyptios.

³⁷ Profectique sunt filii Israël de Ramesse in Socoth, sexcenta fere millia peditum virorum, absque parvulis.

³⁸ Sed et vulgus promiscuum innumerabile ascendit cum eis, oves et armenta et animantia diversi generis multa nimis.

³⁹ Coxeruntque farinam, quam dudum de Ægypto conspersam tulerant : et fecerunt subcinericios panes azymos : neque enim poterant fermentari, cogentibus exire Ægyptiis, et nullam facere sinentibus moram : nec pulmenti quidquam occurrerat præparare.

⁴⁰ Habitatio autem filiorum Israël qua manserunt in Ægypto, fuit quadringentorum triginta annorum.

⁴¹ Quibus expletis, eadem die egressus est omnis exercitus Domini de terra Ægypti.

⁴² Nox ista est observabilis Domino, quando eduxit eos de terra Ægypti : hanc observare debent omnes filii Israël in generationibus suis.

⁴³ Dixitque Dominus ad Moysen et Aaron : Hæc est religio Phase : omnis alienigena non comedet ex eo.

⁴⁴ Omnis autem servus emptitius circumcidetur, et sic comedet.

⁴⁵ Advena et mercenarius non edent ex eo.

⁴⁶ In una domo comedetur, nec efferetis de carnibus ejus foras, nec os illius confringetis.

⁴⁷ Omnis cœtus filiorum Israël faciet illud.

⁴⁸ Quod si quis peregrinorum in vestram voluerit transire coloniam, et facere Phase Domini, circumcidetur prius omne masculinum ejus, et tunc rite celebrabit : eritque sicut indigena terræ : si quis auem circumcisus non fuerit, non vescetur ex eo.

⁴⁹ Eadem lex erit indigenæ et colono qui peregrinatur apud vos.

⁵⁰ Feceruntque omnes filii Israël sicut præceperat Dominus Moysi et Aaron.

⁵¹ Et eadem die eduxit Dominus filios Israël de terra Ægypti per turmas suas.

¹ Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,

² "Make two trumpets of silver. You shall make them of beaten work. You shall use them for the calling of the congregation, and for the journeying of the camps.

³ When they blow them, all the congregation shall gather themselves to you at the door of the Tent of Meeting.

⁴ If they blow just one, then the princes, the heads of the thousands of Israel, shall gather themselves to you.

⁵ When you blow an alarm, the camps that lie on the east side shall go forward.

⁶ When you blow an alarm the second time, the camps that lie on the south side shall go forward. They shall blow an alarm for their journeys.

⁷ But when the assembly is to be gathered together, you shall blow, but you shall not sound an alarm.

⁸ "The sons of Aaron, the priests, shall blow the trumpets. This shall be to you for a statute forever throughout your generations.

⁹ When you go to war in your land against the adversary who oppresses you, then you shall sound an alarm with the trumpets. Then you will be remembered before Yahweh your God, and you will be saved from your enemies.

¹⁰ "Also in the day of your gladness, and in your set feasts, and in the beginnings of your months, you shall blow the trumpets over your burnt offerings, and over the sacrifices of your peace offerings; and they shall be to you for a memorial before your God. I am Yahweh your God."

¹¹ It happened in the second year, in the second month, on the twentieth day of the month, that the cloud was taken up from over the tabernacle of the testimony.

¹² The children of Israel went forward according to their journeys out of the wilderness of Sinai; and the cloud stayed in the wilderness of Paran.

¹³ They first went forward according to the commandment of Yahweh by Moses.

¹⁴ First, the standard of the camp of the children of Judah went forward according to their armies. Nahshon the son of Amminadab was over his army.

¹⁵ Nethanel the son of Zuar was over the army of the tribe of the children of Issachar.

¹⁶ Eliab the son of Helon was over the army of the tribe of the children of Zebulun.

¹⁷ The tabernacle was taken down; and the sons of Gershon and the sons of Merari, who bore the tabernacle, went forward.

¹⁸ The standard of the camp of Reuben went forward according to their armies. Elizur the son of Shedeur was over his army.

¹⁹ Shelumiel the son of Zurishaddai was over the army of the tribe of the children of Simeon.

²⁰ Eliasaph the son of Deuel was over the army of the tribe of the children of Gad.

²¹ The Kohathites set forward, bearing the sanctuary. The others set up the tabernacle before they arrived.

²² The standard of the camp of the children of Ephraim set forward according to their armies. Elishama the son of Ammihud was over his army.

²³ Gamaliel the son of Pedahzur was over the army of the tribe of the children of Manasseh.

²⁴ Abidan the son of Gideoni was over the army of the tribe of the children of Benjamin.

²⁵ The standard of the camp of the children of Dan, which was the rear guard of all the camps, set forward according to their armies. Ahiezer the son of Ammishaddai was over his army.

²⁶ Pagiel the son of Ochran was over the army of the tribe of the children of Asher.

²⁷ Ahira the son of Enan was over the army of the tribe of the children of Naphtali.

²⁸ Thus were the travels of the children of Israel according to their armies; and they went forward.

²⁹ Moses said to Hobab, the son of Reuel the Midianite, Moses' father-in-law, "We are journeying to the place of which Yahweh said, 'I will give it to you.' Come with us, and we will treat you well; for Yahweh has spoken good concerning Israel."

³⁰ He said to him, "I will not go; but I will depart to my own land, and to my relatives."

³¹ He said, "Don't leave us, please; because you know how we are to encamp in the wilderness, and you can be our eyes.

³² It shall be, if you go with us, yes, it shall be, that whatever good Yahweh does to us, we will do the same to you."

³³ They set forward from the Mount of Yahweh three days' journey. The ark of the covenant of Yahweh went before them three days' journey, to seek out a resting place for them.

³⁴ The cloud of Yahweh was over them by day, when they set forward from the camp.

³⁵ It happened, when the ark went forward, that Moses said, "Rise up, Yahweh, and let your enemies be scattered! Let those who hate you flee before you!"

³⁶ When it rested, he said, "Return, Yahweh, to the ten thousands of the thousands of Israel."
