Exodus 12:14-28

14This day shall be afor you a memorial day, and you shall keep it as a feast to the Lord; throughout your generations, as a bstatute forever, you shall keep it as a feast. 15 cSeven 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, dthat person shall be cut off from Israel. 16On the first day you shall hold a eholy 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. 17And you shall observe the Feast of Unleavened Bread, for fon this very day I brought your ghosts out of the land of Egypt. Therefore you shall observe this day, throughout your generations, as a statute forever. 18 hIn the first month, from the fourteenth day of the month at evening, you shall eat unleavened bread until the twenty-first day of the month at evening. 19 iFor seven days no leaven is to be found in your houses. If anyone eats what is leavened, jthat person will be cut off from the congregation of Israel, kwhether he is a sojourner or a native of the land. 20You shall eat nothing leavened; in all your dwelling places you shall eat unleavened bread.”

21Then Moses called all the elders of Israel and said to them, “Go and select lambs for yourselves laccording to your clans, and kill the Passover lamb. 22Take a bunch of mhyssop and ndip it in the blood that is in the basin, and touch othe lintel and the two doorposts with the blood that is in the basin. pNone of you shall go out of the door of his house until the morning. 23 qFor the Lord will pass through to strike the Egyptians, and when he sees the blood on rthe lintel and on the two doorposts, the Lord will pass over the door and swill not allow the destroyer to enter your houses to strike you. 24You shall observe this rite as a statute for you and for your sons forever. 25And when you come to the land that the Lord will give you, tas he has promised, you shall keep this service. 26And uwhen your children say to you, ‘What do you mean by this service?’ 27you shall say, v‘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 wbowed their heads and worshiped.

28Then the people of Israel went and did so; as the Lord had commanded Moses and Aaron, so they did.

Exodus 12:43-49

Institution of the Passover

43And the Lord said to Moses and Aaron, “This is the statute of the Passover: no foreigner shall eat of it, 44but every slave
Or servant; the Hebrew term  ‘ebed designates a range of social and economic roles (see Preface)
that is ybought for money may eat of it after you have circumcised him.
45 zNo foreigner or hired worker may eat of it. 46It shall be eaten in one house; you shall not take any of the flesh outside the house, and aayou shall not break any of its bones. 47 abAll the congregation of Israel shall keep it. 48 acIf 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 adshall be as a native of the land. But no uncircumcised person shall eat of it. 49There shall be aeone law for the native and for the afstranger who sojourns among you.”

6And on the fifteenth day of the same month is the Feast of Unleavened Bread to the Lord; for seven days you shall eat unleavened bread. 7 alOn the first day you shall have a holy convocation; you shall not do any ordinary work. 8But you shall present a food offering to the Lord for seven days.

Numbers 9:2-14

2“Let the people of Israel keep the Passover at its appointed time. 3 amOn the fourteenth day of this month, at twilight, you shall keep it at its appointed time; according to all its statutes and all its rules you shall keep it.” 4So Moses told the people of Israel that they should keep the Passover. 5And they kept the Passover in the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month, at twilight, in the wilderness of Sinai; according to all that the Lord commanded Moses, so the people of Israel did. 6And there were certain men who were anunclean through touching a dead body, so that they could not keep the Passover on that day, and aothey came before Moses and Aaron on that day. 7And those men said to him, “We are unclean through touching a dead body. Why are we kept from bringing the Lord’s apoffering at its appointed time among the people of Israel?” 8And Moses said to them, “Wait, that aqI may hear what the Lord will command concerning you.”

9The Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 10Speak to the people of Israel, saying, If any one of you or of your descendants is unclean through touching a dead body, or is on a long journey, he shall still keep the Passover to the Lord. 11 arIn the second month on the fourteenth day at twilight they shall keep it. asThey shall eat it with unleavened bread and bitter herbs. 12 atThey shall leave none of it until the morning, aunor break any of its bones; avaccording to all the statute for the Passover they shall keep it. 13But if anyone who is clean and is not on a journey fails to keep the Passover, awthat person shall be cut off from his people because he did not bring the Lord’s axoffering at its appointed time; that man shall bear his sin. 14And if a stranger sojourns among you and would keep the Passover to the Lord, according to the statute of the Passover and according to its rule, so shall he do. ayYou shall have one statute, both for the sojourner and for the native.”
