29 And it came to pass at midnight that the Lord struck all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, from the firstborn of Pharaoh who sat on his throne to the firstborn of the captive who was in the dungeon, and all the firstborn of livestock.
|
29 At midnight the LORD struck down all the firstborn in Egypt, from the firstborn of Pharaoh, who sat on the throne, to the firstborn of the prisoner, who was in the dungeon, and the firstborn of all the livestock as well.
|
|
30 So Pharaoh rose in the night, he, all his servants, and all the Egyptians; and there was a great cry in Egypt, for there was not a house where there was not one dead.
|
30 Pharaoh and all his officials and all the Egyptians got up during the night, and there was loud wailing in Egypt, for there was not a house without someone dead.
|
|
31 Then he called for Moses and Aaron by night, and said, "Rise, go out from among my people, both you and the children of Israel. And go, serve the Lord as you have said.
|
31 During the night Pharaoh summoned Moses and Aaron and said, "Up! Leave my people, you and the Israelites! Go, worship the LORD as you have requested.
|
|
32 Also take your flocks and your herds, as you have said, and be gone; and bless me also."
|
32 Take your flocks and herds, as you have said, and go. And also bless me."
|
|
33 And the Egyptians urged the people, that they might send them out of the land in haste. For they said, "We shall all be dead."
|
33 The Egyptians urged the people to hurry and leave the country. "For otherwise," they said, "we will all die!"
|
|
34 So the people took their dough before it was leavened, having their kneading bowls bound up in their clothes on their shoulders.
|
34 So the people took their dough before the yeast was added, and carried it on their shoulders in kneading troughs wrapped in clothing.
|
|
35 Now the children of Israel had done according to the word of Moses, and they had asked from the Egyptians articles of silver, articles of gold, and clothing.
|
35 The Israelites did as Moses instructed and asked the Egyptians for articles of silver and gold and for clothing.
|
|
36 And the Lord had given the people favor in the sight of the Egyptians, so that they granted them what they requested. Thus they plundered the Egyptians.
|
36 The LORD had made the Egyptians favorably disposed toward the people, and they gave them what they asked for; so they plundered the Egyptians.
|
|
37 Then the children of Israel journeyed from Rameses to Succoth, about six hundred thousand men on foot, besides children.
|
37 The Israelites journeyed from Rameses to Succoth. There were about six hundred thousand men on foot, besides women and children.
|
|
38 A mixed multitude went up with them also, and flocks and herds--a great deal of livestock.
|
38 Many other people went up with them, as well as large droves of livestock, both flocks and herds.
|
|
39 And they baked unleavened cakes of the dough which they had brought out of Egypt; for it was not leavened, because they were driven out of Egypt and could not wait, nor had they prepared provisions for themselves.
|
39 With the dough they had brought from Egypt, they baked cakes of unleavened bread. The dough was without yeast because they had been driven out of Egypt and did not have time to prepare food for themselves.
|
|
40 Now the sojourn of the children of Israel who lived in Egypt was four hundred and thirty years.
|
40 Now the length of time the Israelite people lived in Egypt was 430 years.
|
|
41 And it came to pass at the end of the four hundred and thirty years--on that very same day--it came to pass that all the armies of the Lord went out from the land of Egypt.
|
41 At the end of the 430 years, to the very day, all the LORD's divisions left Egypt.
|
|
42 It is a night of solemn observance to the Lord for bringing them out of the land of Egypt. This is that night of the Lord, a solemn observance for all the children of Israel throughout their generations.
|
42 Because the LORD kept vigil that night to bring them out of Egypt, on this night all the Israelites are to keep vigil to honor the LORD for the generations to come.
|
|
43 And the Lord said to Moses and Aaron, "This is the ordinance of the Passover: No foreigner shall eat it.
|
43 The LORD said to Moses and Aaron, "These are the regulations for the Passover: "No foreigner is to eat of it.
|
|
44 But every man's servant who is bought for money, when you have circumcised him, then he may eat it.
|
44 Any slave you have bought may eat of it after you have circumcised him,
|
|
45 A sojourner and a hired servant shall not eat it.
|
45 but a temporary resident and a hired worker may not eat of it.
|
|
46 In one house it shall be eaten; you shall not carry any of the flesh outside the house, nor shall you break one of its bones.
|
46 "It must be eaten inside one house; take none of the meat outside the house. Do not break any of the bones.
|
|
47 All the congregation of Israel shall keep it.
|
47 The whole community of Israel must celebrate it.
|
|
48 And when a stranger dwells with you and wants to keep the Passover to the Lord, let all his males be circumcised, and then let him come near and keep it; and he shall be as a native of the land. For no uncircumcised person shall eat it.
|
48 "An alien living among you who wants to celebrate the LORD's Passover must have all the males in his household circumcised; then he may take part like one born in the land. No uncircumcised male may eat of it.
|
|
49 One law shall be for the native-born and for the stranger who dwells among you."
|
49 The same law applies to the native-born and to the alien living among you."
|
|
50 Thus all the children of Israel did; as the Lord commanded Moses and Aaron, so they did.
|
50 All the Israelites did just what the LORD had commanded Moses and Aaron.
|
|
51 And it came to pass, on that very same day, that the Lord brought the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt according to their armies.
|
51 And on that very day the LORD brought the Israelites out of Egypt by their divisions.
