Exodus 12:21-28 So then Moses called for all the elders of Israel, and said unto them,––Proceed and take for yourselves one of the flock, according to your families, and slay the passover.

Rotherham⁽ⁱ⁾ ²¹ So then Moses called for all the elders of Israel, and said unto them,––Proceed and take for yourselves one of the flock, according to your families, and slay the passover. ²² Then shall ye take a bunch of hyssop, and dip it in the blood which is in the basin, and strike the upper beam, and the two door–posts, with the blood which is in the basin,––and, ye, shall not go forth, any man out of the entrance of his house, until morning. ²³ And Yahweh will pass along to plague the Egyptians, and, when he beholdeth the blood upon the upper beam, and upon the two door–posts, then will Yahweh pass over the entrance, and not suffer the destroyer to enter into your houses, to inflict on you the plague. ²⁴ And ye shall observe this thing,––for a statute to thee and to thy sons, unto times age–abiding. ²⁵ And so it shall come to pass, when ye shall enter into the land which Yahweh will give you, as he hath spoken,––and ye shall observe this service; ²⁶ and it shall come to pass, that your sons shall say unto you,––What is this your service? ²⁷ Then shall ye say––A passover sacrifice, it is to Yahweh, who passed–over the houses of the sons of Israel, in Egypt, when he plagued the Egyptians, but, our houses, he delivered. Then did the people bend their heads and bow themselves down. ²⁸ And the sons of Israel went their way and did,––as Yahweh had commanded Moses and Aaron, so, did they.
