Exodus 12:7-23

[7] And they shall take  of the blood,  and strike  it on the two  side posts  and on the upper door post  of the houses,  wherein they shall eat  it. [8] And they shall eat  the flesh  in that night,  roast  with fire,  and unleavened bread;  and with bitter  herbs they shall eat  [9] Eat  not of it raw,  nor sodden  at all with water,  but roast  with fire;  his head  with his legs,  and with the purtenance  [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.  [11] And thus  shall ye eat  it; with your loins  girded,  your shoes  on your feet,  and your staff  in your hand;  and ye shall eat  it in haste:  it is the LORD'S  passover.  [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. [17] And ye shall observe  the feast of unleavened bread;  for in this selfsame  day  have I brought  your armies  out of the land  of Egypt:  therefore shall ye observe  this day  in your generations  by an ordinance  for ever.  [18] In the first  month, on the fourteenth  day  of the month  at even,  ye shall eat  unleavened bread,  until the one  and twentieth  day  of the month  at even.  [19] Seven  days  shall there be no leaven  found  in your houses:  for whosoever eateth  even that soul  shall be cut off  from the congregation  of Israel,  whether he be a stranger,  or born  in the land.  [20] Ye shall eat  in all your habitations  shall ye eat  unleavened bread.  [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
