Exodus 12:12-16

[12] For I will pass  through the land  of Egypt  this night,  and will smite  all the firstborn  in the land  of Egypt,  both man  and beast;  and against all the gods  of Egypt  I will execute  judgment:  I am the LORD.  [13] And the blood  shall be to you for a token  upon the houses  where ye are: and when I see  the blood,  I will pass  over you, and the plague  shall not be upon you to destroy  you, when I smite  the land  of Egypt.  [14] And this day  shall be unto you for a memorial;  and ye shall keep  it a feast  to the LORD  throughout your generations;  ye shall keep it a feast  by an ordinance  for ever.  [15] Seven  days  shall ye eat  unleavened bread;  even  the first  day  ye shall put away  leaven  out of your houses:  for whosoever eateth  leavened bread  from the first  day  until the seventh  day,  that soul  shall be cut  off from Israel.  [16] And in the first  day  there shall be an holy  convocation,  and in the seventh  day  there shall be an holy  convocation  to you; no manner of work  shall be done  in them, save  that which every man  must eat,  that only may be done  of you.
