Textorah

And HaShem spoke unto Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt, saying:

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

'This month shall be unto you the beginning of months; it shall be the first month of the year to you.

This month [shall be] to you the beginning of months: it is the first to you among the months of the year.

Speak ye unto all the congregation of Israel, saying: In the tenth day of this month they shall take to them every man a lamb, according to their fathers' houses, a lamb for a household;

Speak to all the congregation of the children of Israel, saying, On the tenth of this month let them take each man a lamb according to the houses of their families, every man a lamb for his household.

and if the household be too little for a lamb, then shall he and his neighbour next unto his house take one according to the number of the souls; according to every man's eating ye shall make your count for the lamb.

And if they be few in a household, so that there are not enough for the lamb, he shall take with himself his neighbor that lives near to him—as to the number of souls, every one according to that which suffices him shall make a reckoning for the lamb.

Your lamb shall be without blemish, a male of the first year; ye shall take it from the sheep, or from the goats;

It shall be to you a lamb unblemished, a male of a year old: ye shall take it of the lambs and the kids.

and ye shall keep it unto the fourteenth day of the same month; and the whole assembly of the congregation of Israel shall kill it at dusk.

And it shall be kept by you till the fourteenth of this month, and all the multitude of the congregation of the children of Israel shall kill it toward evening.

And they shall take of the blood, and put it on the two side-posts and on the lintel, upon the houses wherein they shall eat it.

And they shall take of the blood, and shall put it on the two doorposts, and on the lintel, in the houses in whichsoever they shall eat them.

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

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

Eat not of it raw, nor sodden at all with water, but roast with fire; its head with its legs and with the inwards thereof.

Ye shall not eat of it raw nor sodden in water, but only roast with fire, the head with the feet and the appurtenances.

And ye shall let nothing of it remain until the morning; but that which remaineth of it until the morning ye shall burn with fire.

Nothing shall be left of it till the morning, and a bone of it ye shall not break; but that which is left of it till the morning ye shall burn with fire.

And thus shall ye eat it: with your loins girded, your shoes on your feet, and your staff in your hand; and ye shall eat it in haste--it is HaShem'S passover.

And thus shall ye eat it: your loins girded, and your sandals on your feet, and your staffs in your hands, and ye shall eat it in haste. It is a Passover to the Lord.

For I will go through the land of Egypt in that night, and will smite all the first-born in the land of Egypt, both man and beast; and against all the gods of Egypt I will execute judgments: I am HaShem.

And I will go through the land of Egypt in that night, and will smite every firstborn in the land of Egypt both man and beast, and on all the gods of Egypt will I execute vengeance: I [am] the Lord.

And the blood shall be to you for a token upon the houses where ye are; and when I see the blood, I will pass over you, and there shall no plague be upon you to destroy you, when I smite the land of Egypt.

And the blood shall be for a sign to you on the houses in which ye are, and I will see the blood, and will protect you, and there shall not be on you the plague of destruction, when I smite in the land of Egypt.

And this day shall be unto you for a memorial, and ye shall keep it a feast to HaShem; throughout your generations ye shall keep it a feast by an ordinance for ever.

And this day shall be to you a memorial, and ye shall keep it a feast to the Lord through all your generations; ye shall keep it a feast for a perpetual ordinance.

Seven days shall ye eat unleavened bread; howbeit the first day ye shall put away leaven out of your houses; for whosoever eateth leavened bread from the first day until the seventh day, that soul shall be cut off from Israel.

Seven days ye shall eat unleavened bread, and from the first day ye shall utterly remove leaven from your houses: whoever shall eat leaven, that soul shall be utterly destroyed from Israel, from the first day until the seventh day.

And in the first day there shall be to you a holy convocation, and in the seventh day a holy convocation; no manner of work shall be done in them, save that which every man must eat, that only may be done by you.

And the first day shall be called holy, and the seventh day shall be a holy convocation to you: ye shall do no servile work on them, only as many things as will [necessarily] be done by every soul, this only shall be done by you.

And ye shall observe the feast of unleavened bread; for in this selfsame day have I brought your hosts out of the land of Egypt; therefore shall ye observe this day throughout your generations by an ordinance for ever.

And ye shall keep this commandment, for on this day will I bring out your force out of the land of Egypt; and ye shall make this day a perpetual ordinance for you throughout your generations.

In the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month at even, ye shall eat unleavened bread, until the one and twentieth day of the month at even.

Beginning the fourteenth day of the first month, ye shall eat unleavened bread from evening, till the twenty-first day of the month, till evening.

Seven days shall there be no leaven found in your houses; for whosoever eateth that which is leavened, that soul shall be cut off from the congregation of Israel, whether he be a sojourner, or one that is born in the land.

Seven days leaven shall not be found in your houses; whosoever shall eat anything leavened, that soul shall be cut off from the congregation of Israel, both among the occupiers of the land and the original inhabitants.

Ye shall eat nothing leavened; in all your habitations shall ye eat unleavened bread.'

Ye shall eat nothing leavened, but in every habitation of yours ye shall eat unleavened bread.

Then Moses called for all the elders of Israel, and said unto them: 'Draw out, and take you lambs according to your families, and kill the passover lamb.

And Moses called all the elders of the children of Israel, and said to them, Go away and take to yourselves a lamb according to your kindred, and slay the Passover.

And ye shall take a bunch of hyssop, and dip it in the blood that is in the basin, and strike the lintel and the two side-posts with the blood that is in the basin; and none of you shall go out of the door of his house until the morning.

And ye shall take a bunch of hyssop, and having dipped it into some of the blood that is by the door, ye shall touch the lintel, and [shall put it] upon both doorposts, even of the blood which is by the door; but ye shall not go out every one from the door of his house till the morning.

For HaShem will pass through to smite the Egyptians; and when He seeth the blood upon the lintel, and on the two side-posts, HaShem will pass over the door, and will not suffer the destroyer to come in unto your houses to smite you.

And the Lord shall pass by to smite the Egyptians, and shall see the blood upon the lintel, and upon both the doorposts; and the Lord shall pass by the door, and shall not suffer the destroyer to enter into your houses to smite [you].

And ye shall observe this thing for an ordinance to thee and to thy sons for ever.

And keep ye this thing as an ordinance for thyself and for thy children forever.

And it shall come to pass, when ye be come to the land which HaShem will give you, according as He hath promised, that ye shall keep this service.

And if ye should enter into the land, which the Lord shall give you, as he has spoken, keep this service.

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

And it shall come to pass, if your sons say to you, What is this service?

that ye shall say: It is the sacrifice of HaShem'S passover, for that He passed over the houses of the children of Israel in Egypt, when He smote the Egyptians, and delivered our houses.' And the people bowed the head and worshipped.

that ye shall say to them, This Passover is a sacrifice to the Lord, as he defended the houses of the children of Israel in Egypt, when he smote the Egyptians, but delivered our houses.

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

And the people bowed and worshiped. And the children of Israel departed and did as the Lord commanded Moses and Aaron, so did they.

And it came to pass at midnight, that HaShem smote all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, from the first-born of Pharaoh that sat on his throne unto the first-born of the captive that was in the dungeon; and all the first-born of cattle.

And it came to pass at midnight that the Lord smote all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, from the firstborn of Pharaoh that sat on the throne, to the firstborn of the captive maid in the dungeon, and the firstborn of all cattle.

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 there was not one dead.

And Pharaoh rose up by night, and his servants, and all the Egyptians; and there was a great cry in all the land of Egypt, for there was not a house in which there was not one dead.

And he called for Moses and Aaron by night and said: 'Rise up, get you forth from among my people, both ye and the children of Israel; and go, serve HaShem, as ye have said.

And Pharaoh called Moses and Aaron by night, and said to them, Rise and depart from my people, both ye and the children of Israel. Go and serve the Lord your God, even as ye say.

Take both your flocks and your herds, as ye have said, and be gone; and bless me also.'

And take with you your sheep, and your oxen: bless me also, I pray you.

And the Egyptians were urgent upon the people, to send them out of the land in haste; for they said: 'We are all dead men.'

And the Egyptians constrained the people, so that they cast them out of the land with haste, for they said, We all shall die.

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

And the people took their dough before their meal was leavened, bound up [as it was] in their garments, on their shoulders.

And the children of Israel did according to the word of Moses; and they asked of the Egyptians jewels of silver, and jewels of gold, and raiment.

And the children of Israel did as Moses commanded them, and they asked of the Egyptians articles of silver and gold and apparel.

And HaShem gave the people favour in the sight of the Egyptians, so that they let them have what they asked. And they despoiled the Egyptians.

And the Lord gave his people favor in the sight of the Egyptians, and they lent to them; and they spoiled the Egyptians.

And the children of Israel journeyed from Rameses to Succoth, about six hundred thousand men on foot, beside children.

And the children of Israel departed from Rameses to Succoth, to [the full number of] six hundred thousand footmen, even men, besides the baggage.

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

And a great mixed [company] went up with them, and sheep and oxen and very much cattle.

And they baked unleavened cakes of the dough which they brought forth out of Egypt, for it was not leavened; because they were thrust out of Egypt, and could not tarry, neither had they prepared for themselves any victual.

And they baked the dough which they brought out of Egypt, unleavened cakes, for it had not been leavened; for the Egyptians cast them out, and they could not remain, neither did they prepare provision for themselves for the journey.

Now the time that the children of Israel dwelt in Egypt was four hundred and thirty years.

And the sojourning of the children of Israel, while they sojourned in the land of Egypt and the land of Canaan, [was] four hundred and thirty years.

And it came to pass at the end of four hundred and thirty years, even the selfsame day it came to pass, that all the host of HaShem went out from the land of Egypt.

And it came to pass after the four hundred and thirty years, all the forces of the Lord came forth out of the land of Egypt by night.

It was a night of watching unto HaShem for bringing them out from the land of Egypt; this same night is a night of watching unto HaShem for all the children of Israel throughout their generations.

It is a watch kept to the Lord, so that he should bring them out of the land of Egypt; that very night is a watch kept to the Lord, so that it should be to all the children of Israel to their generations.

And HaShem said unto Moses and Aaron: 'This is the ordinance of the passover: there shall no alien eat thereof;

And the Lord said to Moses and Aaron, This is the law of the Passover: no stranger shall eat of it.

but every man's servant that is bought for money, when thou hast circumcised him, then shall he eat thereof.

And every slave or servant bought with money—him thou shalt circumcise, and then shall he eat of it.

A sojourner and a hired servant shall not eat thereof.

A sojourner or hireling shall not eat of it.

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

In one house shall it be eaten, and ye shall not carry of the flesh out from the house; and a bone of it ye shall not break.

All the congregation of Israel shall keep it.

All the congregation of the children of Israel shall keep it.

And when a stranger shall sojourn with thee, and will keep the passover to HaShem, let all his males be circumcised, and then let him come near and keep it; and he shall be as one that is born in the land; but no uncircumcised person shall eat thereof.

And if any proselyte shall come to you to keep the Passover to the Lord, thou shalt circumcise every male of him, and then shall he approach to sacrifice it, and he shall be even as the original inhabitant of the land; no uncircumcised person shall eat of it.

One law shall be to him that is homeborn, and unto the stranger that sojourneth among you.'

There shall be one law to the native, and to the proselyte coming among you.

Thus did all the children of Israel; as HaShem commanded Moses and Aaron, so did they.

And the children of Israel did as the Lord commanded Moses and Aaron for them, so they did.

And it came to pass the selfsame day that HaShem did bring the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt by their hosts.

And it came to pass in that day that the Lord brought out the children of Israel from the land of Egypt with their forces.
