1	And the Lorde spake vnto Moyses and Aaron in the lande of Egypt, saying:	The LORD said to Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt,	The LORD said to Moses and Aaron in Egypt,
2	This moneth shalbe vnto you ye begynnyng of monethes, and the first moneth of the yere shall it be vnto you.	“This month shall be for you the beginning of months. It shall be the first month of the year for you.	“This month is to be for you the first month, the first month of your year.
3	Speake ye vnto all the congregation of Israel, saying: In the tenth daye of this moneth, euery man take vnto hym a lambe according to ye house of the fathers, a lambe throughout euery house.	Tell all the congregation of Israel that on the tenth day of this month every man shall take a lamb according to their fathers’ houses, a lamb for a household.	Tell the whole community of Israel that on the tenth day of this month each man is to take a lamb for his family, one for each household.
4	If the houshold be to litle for ye lambe, let hym take his neyghbour whiche is next vnto his house, accordyng to the number of the soules, euery one of you accordyng to his eatyng shal make your compt for a lambe.	And if the household is too small for a lamb, then he and his nearest neighbor shall take according to the number of persons; according to what each can eat you shall make your count for the lamb.	If any household is too small for a whole lamb, they must share one with their nearest neighbor, having taken into account the number of people there are. You are to determine the amount of lamb needed in accordance with what each person will eat.
5	And let the lambe of yours be without blemishe, a male of a yere olde whiche ye shal take out from among the sheepe, and from among the goates.	Your lamb shall be without blemish, a male a year old. You may take it from the sheep or from the goats,	The animals you choose must be year-old males without defect, and you may take them from the sheep or the goats.
6	And ye shall kepe hym in vntyll the fourteenth day of the same moneth: and euery assemble of the congregation of Israel shall kyll hym about euen.	and you shall keep it until the fourteenth day of this month, when the whole assembly of the congregation of Israel shall kill their lambs at twilight.	Take care of them until the fourteenth day of the month, when all the members of the community of Israel must slaughter them at twilight.
7	And they shall take of the blood and stryke it on the two syde postes, and on the vpper doore post, euen in the houses where they shall eate hym.	“Then they shall take some of the blood and put it on the two doorposts and the lintel of the houses in which they eat it.	Then they are to take some of the blood and put it on the sides and tops of the doorframes of the houses where they eat the lambs.
8	And they shall eate the fleshe the same nyght, rost with fire, and with vnleauened bread: and with sowre hearbes they shall eate it.	They shall eat the flesh that night, roasted on the fire; with unleavened bread and bitter herbs they shall eat it.	That same night they are to eat the meat roasted over the fire, along with bitter herbs, and bread made without yeast.
9	See that ye eate not therof rawe, nor sodden with water, but roste with fire: the head, feete, and purtenaunce therof.	Do not eat any of it raw or boiled in water, but roasted, its head with its legs and its inner parts.	Do not eat the meat raw or boiled in water, but roast it over a fire—with the head, legs and internal organs.
10	And ye shall let nothyng of it remayne vnto the morning: That which remayneth of it vntyll the morowe, shall ye burne with fire.	And you shall let none of it remain until the morning; anything that remains until the morning you shall burn.	Do not leave any of it till morning; if some is left till morning, you must burn it.
11	Of this maner shall ye eate it: with your loynes girded, and your shooes on your feete, and your staffe in your hand, and ye shall eate it in haste: for it is the Lordes passouer.	In this manner you shall eat it: with your belt fastened, your sandals on your feet, and your staff in your hand. And you shall eat it in haste. It is the LORD’s Passover.	This is how you are to eat it: with your cloak tucked into your belt, your sandals on your feet and your staff in your hand. Eat it in haste; it is the LORD’s Passover.
12	For I wyll passe through the lande of Egypt this same nyght, and wyll smyte all the first borne of Egypt from man to beast, and vpon all the gods of Egypt I wyll execute iudgement: I am the Lorde.	For I will pass through the land of Egypt that night, and I will strike all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both man and beast; and on all the gods of Egypt I will execute judgments: I am the LORD.	“On that same night I will pass through Egypt and strike down every firstborn of both people and animals, and I will bring judgment on all the gods of Egypt. I am the LORD.
13	And the blood shalbe vnto you a token in the houses wherin you are: and whe I see the blood, I wyll passe ouer you, and the plague shall not be vpon you to destroy you when I smyte the lande of Egypt.	The blood shall be a sign for you, on the houses where you are. And when I see the blood, I will pass over you, and no plague will befall you to destroy you, when I strike the land of Egypt.	The blood will be a sign for you on the houses where you are, and when I see the blood, I will pass over you. No destructive plague will touch you when I strike Egypt.
14	And this day shalbe vnto you a remebraunce: and you shall kepe it an holy feast vnto the Lorde throughout your generations, ye shall kepe it holy for an ordinaunce for euer.	“This day shall be for you a memorial day, and you shall keep it as a feast to the LORD; throughout your generations, as a statute forever, you shall keep it as a feast.	“This is a day you are to commemorate; for the generations to come you shall celebrate it as a festival to the LORD—a lasting ordinance.
15	Seuen dayes shal ye eate vnleauened bread, so that euen the first day ye put away leauen out of your house: For who so euer eateth leauened bread from the first daye vntyll the seuenth daye, that soule shalbe rooted out of Israel.	Seven days you shall eat unleavened bread. On the first day you shall remove leaven out of your houses, for if anyone eats what is leavened, from the first day until the seventh day, that person shall be cut off from Israel.	For seven days you are to eat bread made without yeast. On the first day remove the yeast from your houses, for whoever eats anything with yeast in it from the first day through the seventh must be cut off from Israel.
16	The first day shalbe a holy conuocation, and the seuenth day shalbe an holy conuocation vnto you: there shalbe no maner of worke done in the, saue about that only which euery man must eate, that only may ye do.	On the first day you shall hold a holy assembly, and on the seventh day a holy assembly. No work shall be done on those days. But what everyone needs to eat, that alone may be prepared by you.	On the first day hold a sacred assembly, and another one on the seventh day. Do no work at all on these days, except to prepare food for everyone to eat; that is all you may do.
17	And ye shal obserue the feast of vnleauened bread: for this same day haue I brought your armies out of the lande of Egypt, therefore ye shall obserue this day and all your chyldren after you, by an euerlastyng decree.	And you shall observe the Feast of Unleavened Bread, for on this very day I brought your hosts out of the land of Egypt. Therefore you shall observe this day, throughout your generations, as a statute forever.	“Celebrate the Festival of Unleavened Bread, because it was on this very day that I brought your divisions out of Egypt. Celebrate this day as a lasting ordinance for the generations to come.
18	The first moneth, and the fourteenth daye of the moneth, at euen ye shall eate vnleauened bread, vnto the 21 day of the same moneth at euen againe.

In the first month you are to eat bread made without yeast, from the evening of the fourteenth day until the evening of the twenty-first day.
19	Seuen dayes shal ther be no leauened bread founde in your houses: and whosoeuer eateth leauened bread, that soule shalbe rooted out from the congregatio of Israel, whether he be straunger or borne in the lande.	For seven days no leaven is to be found in your houses. If anyone eats what is leavened, that person will be cut off from the congregation of Israel, whether he is a sojourner or a native of the land.	For seven days no yeast is to be found in your houses. And anyone, whether foreigner or native-born, who eats anything with yeast in it must be cut off from the community of Israel.
20	Ye shall eate nothyng leauened: but in all your habitations shall ye eate vnleauened bread.	You shall eat nothing leavened; in all your dwelling places you shall eat unleavened bread.”	Eat nothing made with yeast. Wherever you live, you must eat unleavened bread.”
21	Moyses called for the elders of Israel, and sayde vnto them: Choose out, and take you to euery housholde of you a lambe, and kyll the passouer.	Then Moses called all the elders of Israel and said to them, “Go and select lambs for yourselves according to your clans, and kill the Passover lamb.

22	And take a bunche of Isope and dip it in the blood that is in the bason, & strike the vpper post of the doore, and the two syde postes, with the blood that is in the bason: & none of you go out at the doore of his house vntyll the mornyng.	Take a bunch of hyssop and dip it in the blood that is in the basin, and touch the lintel and the two doorposts with the blood that is in the basin. None of you shall go out of the door of his house until the morning.	Take a bunch of hyssop, dip it into the blood in the basin and put some of the blood on the top and on both sides of the doorframe. None of you shall go out of the door of your house until morning.
23	For the Lord wyll passe ouer to smyte the Egyptians: and when he seeth the blood vpon the vpper doore post and the two syde postes, he wyll passe ouer the doore, and wyll not suffer the destroyer to come into your house to plague you.	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 allow the destroyer to enter your houses to strike you.	When the LORD goes through the land to strike down the Egyptians, he will see the blood on the top and sides of the doorframe and will pass over that doorway, and he will not permit the destroyer to enter your houses and strike you down.
24	Therfore shall ye obserue this thyng for an ordinaunce to thee & thy sonnes for euer.	You shall observe this rite as a statute for you and for your sons forever.	“Obey these instructions as a lasting ordinance for you and your descendants.
25	And when ye be come to the lande whiche the Lorde wyll geue you, accordyng as he hath promised, ye shall kepe this seruice.	And when you come to the land that the LORD will give you, as he has promised, you shall keep this service.	When you enter the land that the LORD will give you as he promised, observe this ceremony.
26	And when your chyldren aske you, what maner of seruice is this ye do?	And when your children say to you, ‘What do you mean by this service?’	And when your children ask you, ‘What does this ceremony mean to you?’
27	Ye shall saye, it is the sacrifice of the Lordes passouer, whiche passed ouer the houses of the chyldren of Israel in Egypt, and he smote the Egyptians, and saued our houses. And the people bowed them selues, and worshipped.	you shall say, ‘It is the sacrifice of the LORD’s Passover, for he passed over the houses of the people of Israel in Egypt, when he struck the Egyptians but spared our houses.’” And the people bowed their heads and worshiped.	then tell them, ‘It is the Passover sacrifice to the LORD, who passed over the houses of the Israelites in Egypt and spared our homes when he struck down the Egyptians.’” Then the people bowed down and worshiped.
28	And the chyldren of Israel went and dyd as the Lorde hadde commaunded Moyses and Aaron, euen so dyd they.	Then the people of Israel went and did so; as the LORD had commanded Moses and Aaron, so they did.	The Israelites did just what the LORD commanded Moses and Aaron.
29	And at mydnyght the Lorde smote the first borne in the lande of Egypt, fro the first borne of Pharao that sate on his seate, vntyl the first borne of the captiue that was in prison, and all the firste gendred of cattell.	At midnight the LORD struck down all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, from the firstborn of Pharaoh who sat on his throne to the firstborn of the captive who was in the dungeon, and all the firstborn of the livestock.	At midnight the LORD struck down all the firstborn in Egypt, from the firstborn of Pharaoh, who sat on the throne, to the firstborn of the prisoner, who was in the dungeon, and the firstborn of all the livestock as well.
30	And Pharao rose in the nyght, he and his seruauntes, and all the Egyptians, and there was a great crye in Egypt: for there was not a house where there was not one dead.	And Pharaoh rose up in the night, he and all his servants and all the Egyptians. And there was a great cry in Egypt, for there was not a house where someone was not dead.	Pharaoh and all his officials and all the Egyptians got up during the night, and there was loud wailing in Egypt, for there was not a house without someone dead.
31	And he called vnto Moyses and Aaro by nyght, saying: Ryse vp, and get you out from amongst my people, both you and also the chyldren of Israel: and go, and serue the Lorde as ye haue sayde.	Then he summoned Moses and Aaron by night and said, “Up, go out from among my people, both you and the people of Israel; and go, serve the LORD, as you have said.	During the night Pharaoh summoned Moses and Aaron and said, “Up! Leave my people, you and the Israelites! Go, worship the LORD as you have requested.
32	And take your sheepe and your droues with you as ye haue sayde: and depart, and blesse me.	Take your flocks and your herds, as you have said, and be gone, and bless me also!”	Take your flocks and herds, as you have said, and go. And also bless me.”
33	And the Egyptians were fierce vpon the people, that they myght sende them out of the lande in haste: for they sayde, we be all but dead men.	The Egyptians were urgent with the people to send them out of the land in haste. For they said, “We shall all be dead.”	The Egyptians urged the people to hurry and leave the country. “For otherwise,” they said, “we will all die!”
34	And the people toke there dowgh before it was sowred, whiche they had in store, being bounde in clothes vpon their shoulders.	So the people took their dough before it was leavened, their kneading bowls being bound up in their cloaks on their shoulders.	So the people took their dough before the yeast was added, and carried it on their shoulders in kneading troughs wrapped in clothing.
35	And the chyldren of Israel dyd accordyng to the saying of Moyses: and they borowed of the Egyptians iewels of siluer, and iewels of golde, and rayment.	The people of Israel had also done as Moses told them, for they had asked the Egyptians for silver and gold jewelry and for clothing.	The Israelites did as Moses instructed and asked the Egyptians for articles of silver and gold and for clothing.
36	And the Lord gaue the people fauour in the syght of the Egyptians, so that they graunted such thynges as they required: And they robbed the Egyptians.	And the LORD had given the people favor in the sight of the Egyptians, so that they let them have what they asked. Thus they plundered the Egyptians.	The LORD had made the Egyptians favorably disposed toward the people, and they gave them what they asked for; so they plundered the Egyptians.
37	And the children of Israel toke their iourney from Rameses to Suchoth, sixe hundred thousand men of foote, besyde chyldren.	And the people of Israel journeyed from Rameses to Succoth, about six hundred thousand men on foot, besides women and children.	The Israelites journeyed from Rameses to Sukkoth. There were about six hundred thousand men on foot, besides women and children.
38	And a great multitude of sundry other nations wet also with them, and sheepe and oxen, and exceedyng much cattell.

39	And they baked vnleauened cakes of the dowgh whiche they brought out of Egypt, for it was not sowred: For they were thrust out of Egypt, and could not tary, nether had they prepared for them selues any prouision of meate.	And they baked unleavened cakes of the dough that they had brought out of Egypt, for it was not leavened, because they were thrust out of Egypt and could not wait, nor had they prepared any provisions for themselves.	With the dough the Israelites had brought from Egypt, they baked loaves of unleavened bread. The dough was without yeast because they had been driven out of Egypt and did not have time to prepare food for themselves.
40	The dwellyng of the chyldren of Israel which they dwelled in Egypt, was foure hundred and thirtie yeres.	The time that the people of Israel lived in Egypt was 430 years.	Now the length of time the Israelite people lived in Egypt was 430 years.
41	And when the foure hundred & thirtie yeres were expired, euen the selfe same day departed al the hoastes of the Lord out of the lande of Egypt.	At the end of 430 years, on that very day, all the hosts of the LORD went out from the land of Egypt.	At the end of the 430 years, to the very day, all the LORD’s divisions left Egypt.
42	It is a nyght to be obserued vnto the Lorde, in the whiche he brought them out of the lande of Egypt: This is that nyght of the Lorde, whiche all the chyldren of Israel must kepe throughout their generations.	It was a night of watching by the LORD, to bring them out of the land of Egypt; so this same night is a night of watching kept to the LORD by all the people of Israel throughout their generations.	Because the LORD kept vigil that night to bring them out of Egypt, on this night all the Israelites are to keep vigil to honor the LORD for the generations to come.
43	And the Lorde sayde vnto Moyses and Aaron, This is the lawe of passouer: there shall no straunger eate thereof.

45	A straunger & an hired seruaunt shall not eate therof.	No foreigner or hired worker may eat of it.	but a temporary resident or a hired worker may not eat it.
46	In one house shall it be eaten, thou shalt carry none of the flesshe out of the house, neither shall ye breake a bone therof.	It shall be eaten in one house; you shall not take any of the flesh outside the house, and you shall not break any of its bones.	“It must be eaten inside the house; take none of the meat outside the house. Do not break any of the bones.
47	All the congregation of Israel shall obserue it.	All the congregation of Israel shall keep it.	The whole community of Israel must celebrate it.
48	If a straunger also dwell among you, and wyl holde passouer vnto the Lord, let him circumcise all that be males, and then let him come and obserue it, and he shalbe as one that is borne in the lande: for no vncircumcised person shall eate therof.	If a stranger shall sojourn with you and would keep the Passover to the LORD, let all his males be circumcised. Then he may come near and keep it; he shall be as a native of the land. But no uncircumcised person shall eat of it.	“A foreigner residing among you who wants to celebrate the LORD’s Passover must have all the males in his household circumcised; then he may take part like one born in the land. No uncircumcised male may eat it.
49	One maner of lawe shalbe vnto hym that is borne in the lande, and vnto the straunger that dwelleth among you.	There shall be one law for the native and for the stranger who sojourns among you.”	The same law applies both to the native-born and to the foreigner residing among you.”
50	And all the chyldren of Israel dyd as the Lorde commaunded Moyses and Aaron, euen so dyd they.	All the people of Israel did just as the LORD commanded Moses and Aaron.	All the Israelites did just what the LORD had commanded Moses and Aaron.
51	And the selfe same day, dyd the Lorde bryng the chyldren of Israel out of the lande of Egypt with their armies.
