1 And Jehovah spoke to Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt, saying,

2 This month shall be unto you the beginning of months: it shall be the first month of the year to you.

3 Speak unto all the assembly of Israel, saying, On the tenth of this month let them take themselves each a lamb, for a father's house, a lamb for a house.

4 And if the household be too small for a lamb, let him and his neighbour next unto his house take [it] according to the number of the souls; each according to [the measure] of his eating shall ye count for the lamb.

5 Your lamb shall be without blemish, a yearling male; ye shall take [it] from the sheep, or from the goats.

6 And ye shall keep it until the fourteenth day of this month; and the whole congregation of the assembly of Israel shall kill it between the two evenings.

7 And they shall take of the blood, and put [it] on the two door-posts and on the lintel of the houses in which they eat it.

8 And they shall eat the flesh in that night, roast with fire, and unleavened bread; with bitter [herbs] shall they eat it.

9 Ye shall eat none of it raw, nor boiled at all with water, but roast with fire; its head with its legs and with its in-wards.

10 And ye shall let none of it remain until the morning; and what remaineth of it until the morning ye shall burn with fire.

11 And thus shall ye eat it: your loins shall be girded, your sandals on your feet, and your staff in your hand; and ye shall eat it in haste; it is Jehovah's passover.

12 And I will go through the land of Egypt in that night, and smite all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both man and beast; and against all the gods of Egypt I will execute judgment: I am Jehovah.

13 And the blood shall be for you as a sign on the houses in which ye are; and when I see the blood, I will pass over you; and the plague shall not be among you for destruction, when I smite the land of Egypt.

14 And this day shall be unto you for a memorial; and ye shall celebrate it [as] a feast to Jehovah; throughout your generations [as] an ordinance for ever shall ye celebrate it.

15 Seven days shall ye eat unleavened bread: on the very first day ye shall put away leaven out of your houses; for whoever eateth leavened bread from the first day until the seventh day -- that soul shall be cut off from Israel.

16 And on the first day ye shall have a holy convocation, and on the seventh day a holy convocation: no manner of work shall be done on them, save what is eaten by every person -- that only shall be done by you.

17 And ye shall keep the [feast of] unleavened [bread]; for in this same day have I brought your hosts out of the land of Egypt; and ye shall keep this day in your generations [as] an ordinance for ever.

18 In the first [month], on the fourteenth day of the month, in the evening, ye shall eat unleavened bread until the one and twentieth day of the month in the evening.

19 Seven days shall there be no leaven found in your houses; for whoever eateth what is leavened -- that soul shall be cut off from the assembly of Israel, whether he be a sojourner, or born in the land.

20 Ye shall eat nothing leavened: in all your dwellings shall ye eat unleavened bread.

21 And Moses called all the elders of Israel, and said to them, Seize and take yourselves lambs for your families, and kill the passover.

22 And take a bunch of hyssop, and dip [it] in the blood that is in the bason, and smear the lintel and the two door-posts with the blood that is in the bason; and none of you shall go out of the door of his house until the morning.

23 And Jehovah will pass through to smite the Egyptians; and when he sees the blood on the lintel, and on the two door-posts, Jehovah will pass over the door, and will not suffer the destroyer to come into your houses to smite [you].

24 And ye shall observe this as an ordinance for thee and for thy sons for ever.

25 And it shall come to pass, when ye are come into the land that Jehovah will give you, as he has promised, that ye shall keep this service.

26 And it shall come to pass, when your children shall say to you, What mean ye by this service?

27 that ye shall say, It is a sacrifice of passover to Jehovah, who passed over the houses of the children of Israel in Egypt when he smote the Egyptians and delivered our houses. And the people bowed their heads and worshipped.

28 And the children of Israel went away, and did as Jehovah had commanded Moses and Aaron; so did they.

29 And it came to pass that at midnight Jehovah smote all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, from the firstborn of Pharaoh who sat on his throne to the firstborn of the captive that was in the dungeon, and all the firstborn of cattle.

30 And Pharaoh rose up in the night, he, and all his bondmen, and all the Egyptians; and there was a great cry in Egypt; for there was not a house in which there was not one dead.

31 And he called Moses and Aaron in the night, and said, Rise up, go away from among my people, both ye and the children of Israel; and go, serve Jehovah, as ye have said.

32 Also take your flocks and your herds, as ye have said, and go; and bless me also.

33 And the Egyptians urged the people, to send them out of the land in haste; for they said, We are all dead [men]!

34 And the people took their dough before it was leavened; their kneading-troughs bound up in their clothes upon their shoulders.

35 And the children of Israel had done according to the word of Moses, and they had asked of the Egyptians utensils of silver, and utensils of gold, and clothing.

36 And Jehovah had given the people favour in the eyes of the Egyptians, and they gave to them; and they spoiled the Egyptians.

37 And the children of Israel journeyed from Rameses to Succoth, about six hundred thousand on foot [that were] men, besides children.

38 And a mixed multitude went up also with them; and flocks and herds -- very much cattle.

39 And they baked the dough that they brought forth out of Egypt into unleavened cakes, for it was not leavened; for they were driven out of Egypt, and could not wait; neither had they prepared for themselves any food.

40 And the residence of the children of Israel that they resided in Egypt was four hundred and thirty years.

41 And it came to pass at the end of the four hundred and thirty years, on that same day it came to pass that all the hosts of Jehovah went out from the land of Egypt.

42 It is a night of observance to Jehovah, because of their being brought out from the land of Egypt: that same night is an observance to Jehovah for all the children of Israel in their generations.

43 And Jehovah said to Moses and Aaron, This is the ordinance of the passover: No stranger shall eat of it;

44 but every man's bondman that is bought for money -- let him be circumcised: then shall he eat it.

45 A settler and a hired servant shall not eat it.

46 In one house shall it be eaten; thou shalt not carry forth any of the flesh abroad out of the house; neither shall ye break a bone thereof.

47 All the assembly of Israel shall hold it.

48 And when a sojourner sojourneth with thee, and would hold the passover to Jehovah, let all his males be circumcised, and then let him come near and hold it; and he shall be as one that is born in the land; but no uncircumcised person shall eat thereof.

49 One law shall be for him that is home-born and for the sojourner that sojourneth among you.

50 And all the children of Israel did as Jehovah had commanded Moses and Aaron; so did they.

51 And it came to pass on that same day, [that] Jehovah brought the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt according to their hosts.

7822. Exodus 12

1. And Jehovah said to Moses and to Aaron in the land of Egypt - He said,

2. This month shall be for you the head of months; the first shall it be for you in the months of the year.

3. Speak to all the assembly of Israel, saying, On the tenth of this month they shall take for themselves each one a member of the flock according to the household of his fathers, a member of the flock according to the household.

4. And if the household is too small for a member of the flock, let him and his neighbour immediately next to his house take one, by the number of the souls; each of them according to the mouth of his eating, you shall make your count for the member of the flock.

5. A perfect member, a male, the son of a year it shall be to you; from the lambs and from the she-goats you shall take it.

6. And you shall keep it until the fourteenth day of this month; and all the congregation of the assembly of Israel shall slaughter it between the evenings.

7. And they shall take some of the blood and put it onto the two doorposts and onto the lintel, on the houses in which they will eat it.

8. And they shall eat the flesh on that night; roasted with fire, and [with] unleavened bread on bitter herbs, they shall eat it.

9. Do not eat any of it raw, nor boiled at all in water, but roasted indeed with fire, its head over its legs and over its middle.

10. And you shall not leave any of it until the morning; and what does remain of it until the morning you shall burn with fire.

11. And thus you shall eat it: Your loins girded, your shoes on your feet, and your rod in your hand. And you shall eat it in haste; it is a Passover to Jehovah.

12. And I will go through the land of Egypt on that night, and will strike all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, from man (homo) even to beast; and on all the gods of Egypt I will make judgements. I am Jehovah.

13. And the blood will be a sign for you on the houses where you are; and I will see the blood and pass you by, and the plague will not be on you for the destroyer, when I strike the land of Egypt.

14. And that day shall be to you for a memorial, and you shall keep it as a feast to Jehovah, throughout your generations; you shall keep it as a feast by an eternal statute.

15. Seven days you shall eat unleavened bread; even on the first day you shall remove 1 yeast from your houses, for anyone eating anything made with yeast, that soul shall be cut off from Israel, from the first day until the seventh day.

16. And on the first day there shall be a holy convocation, and on the seventh day there shall be a holy convocation for you. No work shall be done on them; only what must be eaten by every soul, this alone shall be done by you.

17. And you shall observe [the feast of] unleavened bread, for on this same day I have brought your hosts out of the land of Egypt; and you shall observe this day throughout your generations by an eternal statute.

18. In the first [month], on the fourteenth day of the month in the evening you shall eat unleavened bread, until the twenty-first day of the month in the evening.

19. For seven days no yeast shall be found in your houses; for anyone eating anything made with yeast, that soul shall be cut off from the assembly of Israel, whether a sojourner or a native of the land.

20. You shall eat nothing made with yeast; in all your dwellings you shall eat unleavened bread.

21. And Moses called all the elders of Israel, and said to them, Draw out and take for yourselves a member of the flock according to your families, and slaughter the Passover.

22. And you shall take a bunch of hyssop, and you are to dip it in the blood that is in the basin and strike 2 the lintel and the two doorposts with the blood that is in the basin. And you shall not go out, no one out of the door of his house until the morning.

23. And Jehovah will go through to inflict the plague on Egypt; and He will see the blood on the lintel and on the two doorposts, and Jehovah will pass by the door and not allow the destroyer to come to your houses to inflict the plague.

24. And you shall keep this custom 3 as a statute for yourself and your children for evermore.

25. And it shall be, when you come to the land which Jehovah will give you, as He has spoken, that you shall keep this service.

26. And it shall be, when your children say to you, What do you mean by this service? 4

27. That you shall say, This is the Passover sacrifice to Jehovah, because He passed by the houses of the children of Israel in Egypt when He inflicted the plague on Egypt, and delivered our houses. And the people bowed, and bowed down.

28. And the children of Israel went and did as Jehovah had commanded Moses and Aaron - so they did.

29. And it happened at midnight, that Jehovah struck all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, from Pharaoh's firstborn who was to sit on his throne even to the firstborn of the prisoner who was in the dungeon 5 and all the firstborn of the beasts.

30. And Pharaoh rose that night, and all his servants, and all the Egyptians; and there was a great cry in Egypt, for there was no house where there was not one dead.

31. And he called Moses and Aaron by night, and said, Rise, go out from the midst of my people, both you and the children of Israel; and go, serve Jehovah, in accordance with what you have spoken.

32. Take both your flocks and your herds, as you have spoken, and go; and may you also bless me.

33. And Egypt pressed the people, in a hurry to send them away from the land; for they said, We are all dying.

34. And the people carried their dough before the yeast was added, their kneading bowls bound up in their clothes on their shoulder.

35. And the children of Israel did according to the word of Moses; and they asked from the Egyptians vessels of silver and vessels of gold, and clothes.

36. And Jehovah gave the people favour 6 in the eyes of the Egyptians, and they lent [these things] to them. And they despoiled the Egyptians.

37. And the children of Israel travelled from Rameses to Succoth, around six hundred thousand men (vir) on foot, besides young children.

38. And also a large mixed crowd went up with them, and flocks and herds, an extremely large acquisition of them.

39. And they baked the dough which they brought out of Egypt - unleavened cakes, since no yeast was added, because they were driven out of Egypt and could not wait, and also had not made for themselves provision for the way.

40. And the dwelling of the children of Israel, when they dwelt in Egypt, [lasted] four hundred and thirty years.

41. And so it was at the end of the four hundred and thirty years, even on this same day it was, that all the hosts of Jehovah went out of the land of Egypt.

42. This was the night when Jehovah was keeping watch, 7 to lead them out of the land of Egypt; this is that night when Jehovah was keeping watch, 7 for all the children of Israel [to observe] throughout their generations.

43. And Jehovah said to Moses and Aaron, This is the statute of the Passover: No son of a foreigner shall eat it.

44. And every man's slave, a purchase paid for with silver, 8 when you have circumcised him, shall eat it.

45. A stranger and a hired servant shall not eat it.

46. It shall be eaten in one house; you shall not bring any of the flesh outside the house, and you shall not break a bone of it.

47. All the assembly of Israel shall keep it.

48. And when a sojourner sojourns with you and would keep the Passover to Jehovah, every male he has shall be circumcised, and then he shall come near to keep it, and shall be as if a native of the land. And no uncircumcised person shall eat it.

49. There shall be one law for the native and for the sojourner sojourning in the midst of you.

50. And all the children of Israel did as Jehovah had commanded Moses and Aaron - so they did.

51. And so it was on this same day, that Jehovah brought the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt by their hosts.

CONTENTS

This chapter deals in the internal sense with the deliverance of those belonging to the spiritual Church, and the damnation of those governed by faith separated from charity. The damnation of the latter and the deliverance of the former is represented by the Passover; and the states of charity and faith enjoyed by those who were delivered are represented by the observances to be kept on Passover days.
