Exodus 12:21-27

[21] Then Moses  called  for all the elders  of Israel,  and said  unto them, Draw out  and take  you a lamb  according to your families,  and kill  the passover.  [22] And ye shall take  a bunch  of hyssop,  and dip  it in the blood  that is in the bason,  and strike  the lintel  and the two  side posts  with the blood  that is in the bason;  and none  of you shall go out  at the door  of his house  until the morning.  [23] For the LORD  will pass through  to smite  and when he seeth  the blood  upon the lintel,  and on the two  side posts,  the LORD  will pass over  the door,  and will not suffer  the destroyer  to come  in unto your houses  to smite  [24] And ye shall observe  this thing  for an ordinance  to thee and to thy sons  for  ever.  [25] And it shall come to pass, when ye be come  to the land  which the LORD  will give  you, according as he hath promised,  that ye shall keep  this service.  [26] And it shall come to pass, when your children  shall say  unto you, What mean ye by this service?  [27] That ye shall say,  It is the sacrifice  of the LORD'S  passover,  who passed  over the houses  of the children  of Israel  in Egypt,  when he smote  the Egyptians,  and delivered  our houses.  And the people  bowed the head  and worshipped.
