And it shall come to pass, when your children shall say unto you, what mean ye by this service? ] Of killing and roasting a lamb, and eating it with bitter herbs, and of abstaining from leavened bread.
24
Thou shalt keep this thing as a law for thee and thy children for ever.
25
And when you have entered into the land which the Lord will give you, as he hath promised, you shall observe these ceremonies.
26
And when your children shall say to you: What is the meaning of this service?
27
You shall say to them: It is the victim of the passage of the Lord, when he passed over the houses of the children of Israel in Egypt, striking the Egyptians, and saving our houses. And the people bowing themselves, adored.
28
And the children of Israel going forth, did as the Lord had commanded Moses and Aaron.
