Exodus 12:6-14 ▼

6 And it shall be to you for a preservation till the fourteenth day of this month; and they shall slaughter it, all the convocation of the assembly of Israel, between the two evenings.

7 And they took from the blood and gave upon the two door-posts, and upon the lintel within the houses which they shall eat it in them.

8 And they shall eat the flesh in that night roasted with fire and unleavened; upon bitter herbs shall they eat it.

9 Ye shall not eat from it raw and boiled from boiling with water, but roasted with fire, its head with its legs with its inner part.

10 Ye shall not leave from it till morning: and that remaining from it till morning, ye shall burn with fire.

11 And so shall ye eat it, your loins girded, your shoes on your feet and your staff in your hand: and ye ate it in hasty flight; a passing over to Jehovah.

12 And I passed over in the land of Egypt in this night, and I struck every first-born in the land of Egypt from man even to quadruped: and against all the gods of Egypt I will do judgments: I Jehovah.

13 And the blood was to you for a sign upon the houses where you are there: and I saw the blood and I passed over you, and the blow shall not be upon you to destroy, in my striking upon the land of Egypt.

14 And this day shall be to you for a remembrance; and ye kept it a festival to Jehovah for your generations: ye shall keep a festival a law forever.
