 Exodus Chapter 12:1-51

Instructions for the Passover 

Tell the whole community of Israel that on the tenth day of this month they must each select an animal of the flock according to their fathers' families, one animal per family. If the household is too small for a whole animal, that person and the neighbor nearest his house are to select one based on the combined number of people; you should apportion the animal according to what each will eat. You must have an unblemished animal, a year-old male; you may take it from either the sheep or the goat. You are to keep it until the fourteenth day off this month; then the whole assembly of the community of Israel will slaughter the animals at twilight. They must take some of the blood and put it on the two doorposts and lintel of the house where they eat them, they are to eat the meat that night; they should eat it, roast over the fire along with unleavened bread and bitter herbs. Do not eat any of it raw or cooked in boiling water, but only roasted over fire- its head as well as its leg and inner organs. You must not leave any of it left until morning you must burn. Here is how you must eat it; you must be dressed for travel, your sandals on your feet, and your staff in your hand. You are to eat it in a hurry; it is the Lord's Passover.

I will pass through the land of Egypt on that night and strike every firstborn make in the land of Egypt, both people and animal. I am the Lord; I will execute judgments against all the gods of Egypt. The blood on the houses where you are staying will be distinguishing mark for you; when I see the blood, I will pass over you. No plague will be among you to destroy you when I strike the land of Egypt.  

  


The Exodus

Now at midnight the Lord struck every firstborn make in the land of Egypt, from the firstborn of Pharaoh who sat on his throne to the firstborn of the prisoner who was in the dungeon, and every firstborn of the livestock. The time that the Israelites lived in Egypt was 430 years. At the end of 430 years, on the same day, all the Lord's military division went out from the land of Egypt. It was a night of vigil in honor of the Lord, because he would bring them out of the land of Egypt. This same night is in honor of the Lord, a night vigil for all the Israelites throughout their generation.

Passover Instruction

The Lord said to Moses and Aaron, "This is the statue of the Passover: no foreigner may eat it. But any slave a man has purchase may eat it, after you have circumcised him. A temporary resident or hired worker may not eat the Passover. You may not take any of the meat outside the house, and you may not break any of its bones. On that same day the Lord brought the Israelites out of the land of Egypt accoring to their military division.

  Exodus 23: 1-33 Laws and Honesty and Justice You must not spread a false report. Do not join the wicked to be a malicious witness. You must not follow a crown in wrongdoing. Do not testify in a lawsuit and go along with a crown to pervert justice. Do not show favoritism to a poor person in his lawsuit. If you come across your enemy's stray ox or donkey, you must return it to him. If you see the donkey of someone who hates you lying helpless under its load, and you want to refrain from helping it, you must help with it. You must not deny justice to a poor person among you in his lawsuit. Stay far away from a false accusation. Do not kill the innocent and the just, because I will not justify the guilty. You must not take a bribe, for a bribe blinds the clearsighted and corrupts the words of the righteous. You must not oppress a resident alien; you yourselves know how it feel to be a resident alien because you were resident alien in the land of Egypt. Sabbaths and Festivals Sow your...
