Exodus 12:1-20

Geneva^{(i) 1} Then the Lord spake to Moses and to Aaron in the land of Egypt, saying, ² This moneth shalbe vnto you the beginning of moneths: it shalbe to you the first moneth of the yere. ³ Speake ye vnto all the congregation of Israel, saying, In the tenth of this moneth let euery man take vnto him a lambe, according to the house of the fathers, a lambe for an house. ⁴ And if the housholde be too litle for the lambe, he shall take his neighbour, which is next vnto his house, according to the nomber of the persons: euery one of you, according to his eating shall make your count for the lambes, ⁵ Your lambe shalbe without blemish, a male of a yeere olde: ye shall take it of the lambes, or of the kiddes. ⁶ And yee shall keepe it vntill the fourteenth day of this moneth: then al the multitude of the Congregation of Israel shall kill it at euen. ⁷ After, they shall take of the blood, and strike it on the two postes, and on the vpper doore post of the houses where they shall eate it. ⁸ And they shall eate the flesh the same night, roste with fire, and vnleauened bread: with sowre herbes they shall eate it. ⁹ Eate not thereof rawe, boyled nor sodden in water, but rost with fire, both his head, his feete, and his purtenance. ¹⁰ And ye shall reserue nothing of it vnto the morning: but that, which remaineth of it vnto the morowe, shall ye burne with fire. ¹¹ And thus shall yee eate it, Your loynes girded, your shoes on your feete, and your staues in your handes, and yee shall eate it in haste: for it is the Lords Passeouer. ¹² For I will passe through the lande of Egypt the same night, and will smite all the first borne in the land of Egypt, both man and beast, and I will execute iudgement vpon all the gods of Egypt. I am the Lord. ¹³ And the blood shalbe a token for you vpon the houses where ye are: so when I see the blood, I will passe ouer you, and the plague shall not be vpon you to destruction, when I smite the lande of Egypt. ¹⁴ And this day shalbe vnto you a remembrance: and ye shall keepe it an holie feast vnto the Lord, throughout your generations: yee shall keepe it holie by an ordinance for euer. ¹⁵ Seuen daies shall ye eat vnleauened bread, and in any case ye shall put away leauen the first day out of your houses: for whosoeuer eateth leauened bread from the first daie vntill the seuenth day, that person shalbe cut off from Israel. ¹⁶ And in the first day shalbe an holie assemblie: also in the seuenth day shalbe an holy assemblie vnto you: no worke shalbe done in them, saue about that which euery man must eate: that onely may ye do. ¹⁷ Ye shall keepe also the feast of vnleauened bread: for that same daye I will bring your armies out of the lande of Egypt: therefore ye shall obserue this day, throughout your posteritie, by an ordinance for euer. ¹⁸ In the first moneth and the fourteenth day of the moneth at euen, yee shall eate vnleauened bread vnto the one and twentieth day of the moneth at euen. ¹⁹ Seuen daies shall no leauen be founde in your houses: for whosoeuer eateth leauened bread, that person shalbe cut off from the Congregation of Israel: whether he bee a stranger, or borne in the land. ²⁰ Ye shall eate no leauened bread: but in all your habitations shall ye eate vnleauened bread.
