Exodus 12:22 (ERVEN) Easy to Read - English

1 While Moses and Aaron were still in Egypt, the Lord spoke to them. He said,
2 "This month will be the first month of the year for you.
3 This command is for the whole community of Israel: On the tenth day of this month each man must get one lamb for the people in his house.
4 If there are not enough people in his house to eat a whole lamb, then he should invite some of his neighbors to share the meal. There must be enough lamb for everyone to eat.
5 The lamb must be a oneyear- old male, and it must be completely healthy. This animal can be either a young sheep or a young goat.
6 You should watch over the animal until the 14 day of the month. On that day, all the people of the community of Israel must kill these animals just before dark.
7 You must collect the blood from these animals and put it on the top and sides of the doorframe of every house where the people eat this meal.
8 "On this night you must roast the lamb and eat all of the meat. You must also eat bitter herbs and bread made without yeast.
9 You must not eat the lamb raw or boiled in water. You must roast the whole lamb over a fire. The lamb must still have its head, legs, and inner parts.
10 You must eat all of the meat that night. If any of the meat is left until morning, then you must burn that meat in the fire.
11 "When you eat the meal, you must be fully dressed and ready to travel. You must have your sandals on your feet and your walking stick in your hand. You must eat in a hurry, because this is the Lord's Passover.
12 "Tonight I will go through Egypt and kill every firstborn man and animal in Egypt. In this way I will judge all the gods of Egypt and show that I am the Lord.
13 But the blood on your houses will be a special sign. When I see the blood, I will pass over your house. I will cause bad things to happen to the people of Egypt. But none of these bad diseases will hurt you.
14 "You will always remember tonight—it will be a special festival for you. Your descendants will honor the Lord with this festival forever.
15 For this festival you will eat bread made without yeast for seven days. On the first day, you will remove all the yeast from your houses. No one should eat any yeast for the full seven days of this festival. Anyone who eats yeast must be separated from the rest of Israel.
16 There will be holy assemblies on the first day and the last day of the festival. You must not do any work on these days. The only work you can do is preparing the food for your meals.
17 You must remember the Festival of Unleavened Bread, because on this day I took all of your people out of Egypt in groups. All of your descendants must remember this day. This is a law that will continue forever.
18 So on the evening of the 14 day of the first month (Nisan), you will begin eating bread without yeast. You will eat this bread until the evening of the 21 day of the same month.
19 For seven days there must not be any yeast in your houses. Anyone, either a citizen of Israel or a foreigner living among you, who eats yeast at this time must be separated from the rest of Israel.
20 During this festival you must not eat any yeast. You must eat bread without yeast wherever you live."
21 So Moses called all the elders together and told them, "Get the lambs for your families. Kill the lambs for the Passover.
22 Take bunches of hyssop and dip them in the bowls filled with blood. Paint the blood on the sides and top of each doorframe. No one must leave their house until morning.
23 At the time the Lord goes through Egypt to kill the firstborn, he will see the blood on the sides and top of each doorframe. Then he will protect that house and not let the Destroyer come into any of your houses and hurt you.
24 You must remember this command. This law is for you and your descendants forever.
25 You must remember to do this even when you go to the land the Lord is giving you.
26 When your children ask you, 'Why are we doing this ceremony?'
27 you will say, 'This Passover is to honor the Lord, because when we were in Egypt, the Lord passed over the houses of Israel. He killed the Egyptians, but he saved the people in our houses.'" Then the people bowed down and worshiped the Lord.
28 The Lord had given this command to Moses and Aaron, so the Israelites did what the Lord commanded.
29 At midnight the Lord killed all the firstborn sons in Egypt, from the firstborn son of Pharaoh (who ruled Egypt) to the firstborn son of the prisoner sitting in jail. Also all the firstborn animals died.
30 That night someone died in every house in Egypt. Pharaoh, his officials, and all the people of Egypt began to cry loudly.
31 So that night Pharaoh called for Moses and Aaron and said to them, "Get up and leave my people. You and your people can do as you say. Go and worship the Lord.
32 Take all of your sheep and cattle with you, just as you said you would. Go! And say a blessing for me too."
33 The people of Egypt also asked them to hurry and leave. They said, "If you don't leave, we will all die!"
34 The Israelites did not have time to put the yeast in their bread. They just wrapped the bowls of dough with cloth and carried them on their shoulders.
35 Then the Israelites did what Moses asked them to do. They went to their Egyptian neighbors and asked for clothing and things made from silver and gold.
36 The Lord caused the Egyptians to be kind to the Israelites, so the Egyptians gave their riches to the Israelites.
37 The Israelites traveled from Rameses to Succoth. There were about 600,000 men, not counting the small boys.
38 A great number of people who were not Israelites went with them, along with many sheep, cattle, and other livestock.
39 The people did not have time to put yeast in their bread or make any special food for their journey. So they had to bake their bread without yeast.
40 The Israelites had lived in Egypt for 430 years.
41 After 430 years, to the very day, all the armies of the Lord left Egypt.
42 So that is a very special night when the people remember what the Lord did. All the Israelites will remember that night forever.
43 The Lord told Moses and Aaron, "Here are the rules for Passover: No foreigner is allowed to eat the Passover.
44 A foreigner who is only a hired worker or is only staying in your country is not allowed to eat the Passover. But if someone buys a slave and circumcises him, then the slave can eat the Passover.
45 vnumber="45">
46 "Each family must eat the meal in one house. None of the food is to be taken outside the house. Don't break any of the lamb's bones.
47 The whole community of Israel must do this ceremony.
48 If a foreigner living among you wants to share in the Lord's Passover, he must be circumcised. Then he can share in the meal like any other citizen of Israel. But a man who is not circumcised cannot eat the Passover meal.
49 The same rules are for everyone. It doesn't matter if they are citizens or foreigners living among you."
50 So all the Israelites obeyed the commands that the Lord gave to Moses and Aaron.
51 On that same day the Lord led all the Israelites out of the country of Egypt. The people left in groups.
1 And the LORD H3068 EDS spoke H559 W-VQY3MS unto H413 PREP Moses H4872 and Aaron H175 in the land H776 B-GFS of Egypt H4714 EFS , saying H559 W-VQY3MS ,

3 Speak H1696 ye unto H413 PREP all H3605 NMS the congregation H5712 CFS of Israel H3478 , saying H559 L-VQFC , In the tenth H6218 day of this H2088 D-PMS month H2320 LD-NMS they shall take H3947 to them every man H376 NMS a lamb H7716 , according to the house H1004 of their fathers H1 , a lamb H7716 for a house H1004 :
4 And if H518 W-PART the household H1004 D-NMS be too little H4591 for the lamb H1961 , let him H1931 PPRO-3MS and his neighbor H7934 next H7138 unto H413 PREP his house H1004 NMS-3MS take H3947 W-VQQ3MS it according to the number H4373 of the souls H5315 ; every man H376 NMS according to H6310 L-CMS his eating H400 shall make your count H3699 for H5921 PREP the lamb H7716 .
5 Your lamb H7716 shall be H1961 VQY3MS without blemish H8549 , a male H2145 NMS of the first H1121 year H8141 NFS : ye shall take it out H3947 from H4480 PREP the sheep H3532 , or from H4480 PREP the goats H5795 :
6 And ye shall keep H1961 W-VQQ3MS it up until H5704 PREP the fourteenth H702 MMS day H3117 NMS of the same H2088 D-PMS month H2320 LD-NMS : and the whole H3605 NMS assembly H6951 of the congregation H5712 of Israel H3478 shall kill H7819 it in H996 PREP the evening H6153 .
7 And they shall take H3947 of H4480 PREP the blood H1818 , and strike H5414 it on H5921 PREP the two H8147 ONUM side posts H4201 and on H5921 PREP the upper door post H4947 of H5921 PREP the houses H1004 , wherein H834 RPRO they shall eat H398 it .
8 And they shall eat H398 the flesh H1320 D-NMS in that H2088 D-PMS night H3915 , roast H6748 with fire H784 CMS , and unleavened bread H4682 ; and with H5921 PREP bitter H4844 herbs they shall eat H398 it .
9 Eat H398 not H408 NPAR of H4480 M-PREP-3MS it raw H4995 , nor sodden at all H1311 with water H4325 , but H518 PART roast H6748 with fire H784 CMS ; his head H7218 CMS-3MS with H5921 PREP his legs H3767 , and with H5921 PREP the purtenance H7130 thereof .

11 And thus H3602 shall ye eat H398 it ; with your loins H4975 girded H2296 , your shoes H5275 on your feet H7272 , and your staff H4731 in your hand H3027 B-CFS-2MP ; and ye shall eat H398 it in haste H2649 : it H1931 PPRO-3MS is the LORD H3068 \'s passover H6453 .
12 For I will pass through H5674 the land H776 B-GFS of Egypt H4714 EFS this H2088 D-PMS night H3915 , and will smite H5221 all H3605 CMS the firstborn H1060 CMS in the land H776 B-GFS of Egypt H4714 EFS , both man H120 M-NMS and beast H929 NFS ; and against all H3605 WB-CMS the gods H430 CDP of Egypt H4714 EFS I will execute H6213 VQY1MS judgment H8201 : I H589 PPRO-1MS am the LORD H3068 NAME-4MS .
13 And the blood H1818 shall be H1961 W-VQQ3MS to you for a token H226 upon H5921 PREP the houses H1004 where H834 RPRO ye H859 PPRO-2MS are : and when I see H7200 the blood H1818 , I will pass H6452 over H5921 PREP you , and the plague H5063 shall not H3808 W-NPAR be H1961 W-VQQ3MS upon you to destroy H4889 you , when I smite H5221 the land H776 B-GFS of Egypt H4714 .
14 And this H2088 D-PMS day H3117 D-AMS shall be H1961 W-VQQ3MS unto you for a memorial H2146 ; and ye shall keep H2287 it a feast H2282 to the LORD H3068 L-EDS throughout your generations H1755 ; ye shall keep it a feast H2287 by an ordinance H2708 forever H5769 NMS .

17 And ye shall observe H8104 the feast of unleavened bread H4682 ; for H3588 CONJ in this H2088 D-PMS selfsame H6106 B-CFS day H3117 D-AMS have I brought your armies out H3318 of the land H776 M-NFS of Egypt H4714 : therefore shall ye observe H8104 this H2088 D-PMS day H3117 D-AMS in your generations H1755 by an ordinance H2708 forever H5769 NMS .

19 Seven H7651 RMS days H3117 NMP shall there be no H3808 NADV leaven H7603 found H4672 in your houses H1004 : for H3588 CONJ whosoever H3605 NMS eateth H398 that which is leavened H2557 , even that H1931 D-PPRO-3FS soul H5315 D-NFS shall be cut off H3772 from the congregation H5712 of Israel H3478 , whether he be a stranger H1616 , or born H249 in the land H776 D-GFS .
20 Ye shall eat H398 nothing H3605 NMS leavened H2557 ; in all H3605 NMS your habitations H4186 shall ye eat H398 unleavened bread H4682 .
21 Then Moses H4872 called H7121 W-VQY3MS for all H3605 L-CMS the elders H2205 of Israel H3478 , and said H559 W-VQY3MS unto H413 PREP-3MS them , Draw out H4900 and take H3947 you a lamb H6629 NMS according to your families H4940 , and kill H7819 the passover H6453 .
22 And ye shall take H3947 a bunch H92 of hyssop H231 , and dip H2881 it in the blood H1818 that H834 RPRO is in the basin H5592 , and strike H5060 the lintel H4947 and the two H8147 ONUM side posts H4201 with H4480 PREP the blood H1818 that H834 RPRO is in the basin H5592 ; and none H3808 NADV of you H859 W-PPRO-2MP shall go out H3318 at the door H6607 of his house H1004 NMS-3MS until H5704 PREP the morning H1242 .
23 For the LORD H3068 EDS will pass through H5674 to smite H5062 the Egyptians H4714 ; and when he seeth H7200 the blood H1818 upon H5921 PREP the lintel H4947 , and on H5921 PREP the two H8147 ONUM side posts H4201 , the LORD H3068 EDS will pass H6452 over H5921 PREP the door H6607 , and will not H3808 W-NPAR suffer H5414 VHFA the destroyer H7843 to come in H935 unto H413 PREP your houses H1004 to smite H5062 you .
24 And ye shall observe H8104 this H2088 D-PMS thing H1697 D-NMS for an ordinance H2706 to thee and to thy sons H1121 forever H5704 PREP .
25 And it shall come to pass H1961 W-VQQ3MS , when H3588 CONJ ye be come H935 to H413 PREP the land H776 D-GFS which H834 RPRO the LORD H3068 EDS will give H5414 VHFA you , according as H834 RPRO he hath promised H1696 , that ye shall keep H8104 this H2063 service H5656 .
26 And it shall come to pass H1961 W-VQQ3MS , when H3588 CONJ your children H1121 shall say H559 VQY3MP unto H413 you , What H4100 IGAT mean ye by this H2063 D-DFS service H5656 ?
27 That ye shall say H559 , It H1931 PPRO-3MS is the sacrifice H2077 of the LORD H3068 L-EDS \'s passover H6453 , who H834 RPRO passed H6452 over H5921 PREP the houses H1004 of the children H1121 of Israel H3478 in Egypt H4714 , when he smote H5062 the Egyptians H4714 , and delivered H5337 our houses H1004 . And the people H5971 bowed the head H6915 and worshiped H7812 .
28 And the children H1121 of Israel H3478 went away H1980 W-VQY3MP , and did H6213 as H834 K-RPRO the LORD H3068 EDS had commanded H6680 VPQ3MS Moses H4872 and Aaron H175 , so H3651 ADV did H6213 they .
29 And it came to pass H1961 W-VQY3MS , that at midnight H2677 the LORD H3068 W-EDS smote H5221 all H3605 CMS the firstborn H1060 CMS in the land H776 B-GFS of Egypt H4714 EFS , from the firstborn H1060 of Pharaoh H6547 EMS that sat H3427 D-VQPMS on H5921 PREP his throne H3678 unto H5704 PREP the firstborn H1060 CMS of the captive H7628 that H834 RPRO was in the dungeon H1004 B-CMS ; and all H3605 W-CMS the firstborn H1060 CMS of cattle H929 .
30 And Pharaoh H6547 EMS rose up H6965 W-VQY3MS in the night H3915 GMS , he H1931 PPRO-3MS , and all H3605 W-CMS his servants H5650 , and all H3605 W-CMS the Egyptians H4714 ; and there was H1961 W-VQY3FS a great H1419 cry H6818 in Egypt H4714 ; for H3588 CONJ there was not H369 NPAR a house H1004 NMS where H834 RPRO there was not H369 ADV one dead H4191 .
31 And he called H7121 W-VQY3MS for Moses H4872 and Aaron H175 by night H3915 GMS , and said H559 W-VQY3MS , Rise up H6965 , and get you forth H3318 from among H8432 my people H5971 , both H1571 CONJ ye H859 PPRO-2MS and H1571 CONJ the children H1121 of Israel H3478 ; and go H1980 W-VQI2MP , serve H5647 the LORD H3068 EDS , as ye have said H1696 .
32 Also H1571 CONJ take H3947 your flocks H6629 and H1571 CONJ your herds H1241 , as H834 K-RPRO ye have said H1696 , and be gone H1980 ; and bless H1288 me also H1571 CONJ .
33 And the Egyptians H4714 were urgent H2388 upon H5921 PREP the people H5971 , that they might send them out H7971 of H4480 PREP the land H776 D-GFS in haste H4116 ; for H3588 CONJ they said H559 VQQ3MP , We be all H3605 dead H4191 men .
34 And the people H5971 took H5375 W-VQY3MS their dough H1217 before H2962 ADV it was leavened H2556 , their kneading troughs H4863 being bound up H6887 in their clothes H8071 upon H5921 PREP their shoulders H7926 .
35 And the children H1121 W-CMP of Israel H3478 did H6213 VQQ3MP according to the word H1697 K-NMS of Moses H4872 ; and they borrowed H7592 of the Egyptians H4714 jewels H3627 of silver H3701 , and jewels H3627 of gold H2091 NMS , and raiment H8071 :
36 And the LORD H3068 W-EDS gave H5414 VQQ3MS the people H5971 favor H2580 NMS in the sight H5869 B-CMP of the Egyptians H4714 , so that they lent H7592 unto them such things as they required . And they spoiled H5337 the Egyptians H4714 .
37 And the children H1121 of Israel H3478 journeyed H5265 from Rameses H7486 to Succoth H5523 , about six H8337 hundred H3967 BFP thousand H505 W-BMS on foot H7273 that were men H1397 , beside H905 children H2945 .
38 And a mixed H6154 multitude H7227 AMS went up H5927 also H1571 W-CONJ with H854 PREP-3MP them ; and flocks H6629 , and herds H1241 W-NMS , even very H3966 ADV much H3515 VQS3MS cattle H4735 NMS .
39 And they baked H644 unleavened H4682 cakes H5692 of the dough H1217 which H834 RPRO they brought forth H3318 out of Egypt H4714 M-TFS , for H3588 CONJ it was not leavened H2556 ; because H3588 CONJ they were thrust out H1644 of Egypt H4714 M-TFS , and could H3201 VQP3MP not H3808 NADV tarry H4102 , neither H1571 W-CONJ had they prepared H6213 VQQ3MP for themselves any victual H6720 .
40 Now the sojourning H4186 of the children H1121 of Israel H3478 , who H834 RPRO dwelt H3427 VQQ3MP in Egypt H4714 , was four H702 W-BFS hundred H3967 BFP and thirty H7970 MMP years H8141 NFS .
41 And it came to pass H1961 W-VQY3MS at the end H7093 M-CMS of the four H702 W-BFS hundred H3967 BFP and thirty H7970 MMP years H8141 NFS , even the selfsame H2088 D-PMS day H3117 D-AMS it came to pass H1961 W-VQY3MS , that all H3605 NMS the hosts H6635 of the LORD H3068 EDS went out H3318 from the land H776 M-NFS of Egypt H4714 .
42 It H1931 PPRO-3MS is a night H3915 to be much observed H8107 unto the LORD H3068 L-EDS for bringing them out H3318 from the land H776 M-NFS of Egypt H4714 : this H2088 D-PMS is that H1931 PPRO-3MS night H3915 D-AMS of the LORD H3068 L-EDS to be observed H8107 of all H3605 L-CMS the children H1121 of Israel H3478 in their generations H1755 .
43 And the LORD H3068 EDS said H559 W-VQY3MS unto H413 PREP Moses H4872 and Aaron H175 , This H2063 DPRO is the ordinance H2708 of the passover H6453 : There shall no H3808 NADV stranger H1121 eat H398 VQY3MS thereof :
44 But every H3605 W-CMS man H376 NMS \'s servant H5650 NMS that is bought H4736 for money H3701 NMS , when thou hast circumcised H4135 him , then H227 ADV shall he eat H398 VQY3MS thereof .
45 A foreigner H8453 and a hired servant H7916 shall not H3808 NADV eat H398 VQY3MS thereof .
46 In one H259 MMS house H1004 shall it be eaten H398 ; thou shalt not H3808 NADV carry forth H3318 aught of H4480 PREP the flesh H1320 D-NMS abroad H2351 out of H4480 PREP the house H1004 D-NMS ; neither H3808 NADV shall ye break H7665 a bone H6106 thereof .
47 All H3605 NMS the congregation H5712 CFS of Israel H3478 shall keep H6213 it .
48 And when H3588 a stranger H1616 NMS shall sojourn H1481 with H854 PART-2MS thee , and will keep H6213 W-VQQ3MS the passover H6453 to the LORD H3068 L-EDS , let all H3605 CMS his males H2145 NMS be circumcised H4135 , and then H227 let him come near H7126 and keep H6213 W-VQQ3MS it ; and he shall be H1961 W-VQQ3MS as one that is born in H249 the land H776 D-GFS : for no uncircumcised person H3605 W-CMS shall eat H398 VQY3MS thereof .
49 One H259 OFS law H8451 NFS shall be H1961 VQY3MS to him that is homeborn H249 , and unto the stranger H1616 that sojourneth H1481 among H8432 you .
50 Thus did H6213 all H3605 NMS the children H1121 of Israel H3478 ; as H834 K-RPRO the LORD H3068 EDS commanded H6680 VPQ3MS Moses H4872 and Aaron H175 , so H3651 ADV did H6213 they .
51 And it came to pass H1961 W-VQY3MS the selfsame H2088 D-PMS day H3117 D-AMS , that the LORD H3068 EDS did bring H3318 VHQ3MS the children H1121 of Israel H3478 out of the land H776 M-NFS of Egypt H4714 EFS by H5921 PREP their armies H6635 .
