8 And all these thy fervants fhall come down unto me, and bow down themfelves unto me, faying, Get thee out, and all the people that follow thee; and after that I will go out: and he went out from Pharaoh in a great anger.

9 And the LORD faid unto Mofes, Pharaoh fhall not hearken unto you, that my wonders may be multiplied in the land of Egypt.

4 And if the houshold be too little for the lamb, let him and his neighbour next unto his house, take it according to the number of the fouls; every man according to his eating, fhall make your count for the lamb.

5 Your lamb fhall be without blemish, a male of the fitft year: -ye fhall take it out from the fheep, or from the goats.

6 And ye hall keep it up until the fourteenth day of the fame month; and the whole affembly of the congregation of Ifrael fhall kill it in the evening

7 And they shall take of the blood, and 20 Ye fhall eat nothing leavened : frike it on the two fide-pofts, and on the all your habitations fhall ye eat unleaven upper door-poft of the houfes, wherein ed bread. they fhall eat it.

9 Eat not of it raw, nor fodden at all with water, but roft with fire: his head with his legs, and with the purtenance thereof.

10 And ye shall let nothing of it remain until the morning: and that which remaineth of it until the morning, ye shall burn with fire.

And thus fhall ye eat it, with your loyns girded, your fhoes on your feet, and your ftaff in your hand: and ye shall eat it in hafte; it is the LORDS paffover.

12 For I will pass through the land of Egypt this night, and will fmite all the fiftboin in the land of Egypt, both man and beaft and against all the gods of Egypt I will execute judgment I am the LORD. 13 And the blood fhall be to you for a token upon the houfes where you are: and when I fee the blood, I will pass over you, and the plague fhall not be upon you to deftroy you, when I fmite the land of Ept.

14 And this day fhall be unto you for a memorial; and you shall keep it a feaft to The LORD throughout your generations: you fhall keep it a feaft by an ordinance for ever.

15 Seven days fhall ye eat unleavened bread, even the firft day ye fhall put away leaven out of your houfes for whofoever eateth leavened bread, from the first day until the feventh day, that foul fhall be cat off from Ifrael.

22 And ye shall take a bunch of hyffop and dip it in the blood that is in the bafon, and ftrike the linel, and the two fidepofts, with the blood that is in the bafon: and none of you fhall go out at the door of his houfe until the morning:

27 That ye thall fay, It is the facrifice of the LORDS paffover, who paffed over the houfes of the children of Ifrael in Egypt, when he fmote the Egyptians, and delivered our houfes. And the people bowed the head and worshipped.

28 And the children of Ifrael went away, and did as the LORD had commanded Mofes and Aaron, fo did they.

29 And it came to pafs that at midnight the LORD fmote all the firft-born in the land of Egypt, from the firft-born of Pharaoh, that lat on his throne, unto the first born of the captive that was in the dungeon, and all the firft-born of cattel.

30 And Pharaoh rofe up in the night, he and all his fervants, and all the Egyptians, and there was a great cry in Egypt : for there was not a house where there was not one dead.

39 And they baked unleavened cakes of the dough, which they brought forth out of Egypt, for it was not leavened: becaufe they were thruft out of Egypt, and could not tarry neither had they prepa red for themselves any victual.

40Now the fojourning of the children of Ifrael, who dwelt in Egypt, was four hundred and thirty years.

41 And it came to pafs at the end of the four hundred and thirty years, even the felf fame day it came to pafs, that all the hofts of the LORD went out from the land of Egypt.

42 It a nightto be much obferved unto the LORD, for bringing them out from the land of Egypt: this is that night of the LORD to be obferved of all the children of Ifrael, in their generations.

43 And the LORD faid unto Mofes and Aaron, This is the ordinance of the paffover: there shall no ftranger eat thereof. 44 Butevery mans fervant that is bought for money, when thou haft circumcifed him, then thall he eat thereof.

45 A foreigner, and an hired fervant hall not eat thereof.

45 In one boufe fhall it be eaten, thou fhalt not carry forth ought of the flesh abroad out of the houfe: neither fhall ye break a bone thereof.

47 All the congregation of Ifrael shall keep it.

And when a ftranger fhall fojourn with thee, and will keep the paffover to the LORD, let all his males be circumcifed, and then let him come near and keep it; and he shall be as one that is born in the land: for no uncircumcifed perfon fhall tat thereof.

4 This day came ye out, in the month Abib.

S And it fhall be when the LORD fhall bring thee into the land of the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Amo-rites, and the Hivites, and the Jebufites, which he fware unto thy fathers, to give thee, a land flowing with milk and hony, that thou fhalt keep this fervice in this month.

6 Seven days fhalt thou eat unleavened bread, and in the feventh day fhall be a feaft to the LORD.

7 Unleavened bread fhall be eaten feven days: and there fhall no leavened bread be feen with thee, neither shall there be leaven feen with thee in all thy quarters.

8 And thou shalt fhew thy fon in that day, faying, This is done, because of that which the LORD did unto me, when I came forth out of Egypt.

9 And it shall be for a fign unto thee upon thine hand, and for a memorial between thine eyes, that the LORDS law may be in thy mouth; for with a strong hand hath the LORD brought thee out of Egypt.

10 Thou shalt therefore keep this ordinance in his feafon from year to year.

II And it fhall be when the LORD fhall bring thee into the land of the Canaanites, as he fware unto thee, and to thy fathers, and fhall give it thee,

12 That thou shalt fet apart unto the LORD all that openeth the matrix:and every firftling that cometh of a beaft, which thou haft, the males fhall be the LORDS.

13 And every firftling of an afsthou shalt redeem with a lamb; and if thou wilt not redeem it, then thou shalt break his neck: and all the firft-born of man amongst thy children fhalt thou redeem.
