Exodus 12:47 In-Context

45 a comeling and a hired man shall not eat thereof; (but the newcomer and the hired man shall not eat it;)
46 it shall be eaten in one house; neither ye shall bear out the flesh thereof; neither ye shall break a bone thereof.
47 Each company of the sons of Israel shall make that pask; (All the congregation of Israel shall keep this Feast;)
48 that if any pilgrim will pass into your faith and worshipping, and make [the] pask of the Lord, each male kind of him shall be circumcised before the solemnity, and then he shall make it lawful(ly), and he shall be together with them as a man born of the land; forsooth if any man is not circumcised, he shall not eat thereof. (and if any foreigner will join your faith and worshipping, and he desire to keep the Lord's Passover, each male of them shall be circumcised before the Feast, and then he shall keep it lawfully, and he shall be like a man born in the land; but if any man is not circumcised, he shall not eat it.)
49 The same law shall be to a man born of the land, and to a comeling, that taketh your faith, the which is a pilgrim with you. (The same law shall be for a man born in the land, as for a newcomer, who taketh your faith, yea, he who is a foreigner among you.)
