Exodus 10
1
The LORD said to Moshe, "Go in to Par`oh, for I have hardened his heart, and the heart of his servants, that I may show these my signs in the midst of them,
2
and that you may tell in the hearing of your son, and of your son's son, what things I have done to Mitzrayim, and my signs which I have done among them; that you may know that I am the LORD."
3
Moshe and Aharon went in to Par`oh, and said to him, "This is what the LORD, the God of the Hebrews, says: 'How long will you refuse to humble yourself before me? Let my people go, that they may serve me.
4
Or else, if you refuse to let my people go, behold, tomorrow I will bring locusts into your country,
5
and they shall cover the surface of the eretz, so that one won't be able to see the eretz. They shall eat the residue of that which has escaped, which remains to you from the hail, and shall eat every tree which grows for you out of the field.
6
Your houses shall be filled, and the houses of all your servants, and the houses of all the Mitzrim; as neither your fathers nor your fathers' fathers have seen, since the day that they were on the eretz to this day.'" He turned, and went out from Par`oh.
7
Par`oh's servants said to him, "How long will this man be a snare to us? Let the men go, that they may serve the LORD, their God. Don't you yet know that Mitzrayim is destroyed?
8
Moshe and Aharon were brought again to Par`oh, and he said to them, "Go, serve the LORD your God; but who are those who will go?"
9
Moshe said, "We will go with our young and with our old; with our sons and with our daughters, with our flocks and with our herds will we go; for we must hold a feast to the LORD."
10
He said to them, "The LORD be with you if I will let you go with your little ones! See, evil is clearly before your faces.
11
Not so! Go now you who are men, and serve the LORD; for that is what you desire!" They were driven out from Par`oh's presence.
12
The LORD said to Moshe, "Stretch out your hand over the land of Mitzrayim for the locusts, that they may come up on the land of Mitzrayim, and eat every herb of the land, even all that the hail has left."
13
Moshe stretched forth his rod over the land of Mitzrayim, and the LORD brought an east wind on the land all that day, and all the night; and when it was morning, the east wind brought the locusts.
14
The locusts went up over all the land of Mitzrayim, and rested in all the borders of Mitzrayim. They were very grievous. Before them there were no such locusts as they, neither after them shall be such.
15
For they covered the surface of the whole eretz, so that the land was darkened, and they ate every herb of the land, and all the fruit of the trees which the hail had left. There remained nothing green, either tree or herb of the field, through all the land of Mitzrayim.
16
Then Par`oh called for Moshe and Aharon in haste, and he said, "I have sinned against the LORD your God, and against you.
17
Now therefore please forgive my sin again, and pray to the LORD your God, that he may also take away from me this death."
18
He went out from Par`oh, and prayed to the LORD.
19
The LORD turned an exceeding strong west wind, which took up the locusts, and drove them into the Sea of Suf. There remained not one arbeh in all the borders of Mitzrayim.
20
But the LORD hardened Par`oh's heart, and he didn't let the children of Yisra'el go.
21
The LORD said to Moshe, "Stretch out your hand toward the sky, that there may be darkness over the land of Mitzrayim, even darkness which may be felt."
22
Moshe stretched forth his hand toward the sky, and there was a thick darkness in all the land of Mitzrayim three days.
23
They didn't see one another, neither did anyone rise from his place for three days; but all the children of Yisra'el had light in their dwellings.
24
Par`oh called to Moshe, and said, "Go, serve the LORD. Only let your flocks and your herds stay behind. Let your little ones also go with you."
25
Moshe said, "You must also give into our hand sacrifices and burnt-offerings, that we may sacrifice to the LORD our God.
26
Our cattle also shall go with us. There shall not a hoof be left behind, for of it we must take to serve the LORD our God; and we don't know with what we must serve the LORD, until we come there."
27
But the LORD hardened Par`oh's heart, and he wouldn't let them go.
28
Par`oh said to him, "Get away from me! Be careful to see my face no more; for in the day you see my face you shall die!"
29
Moshe said, "You have spoken well. I will see your face again no more."

Exodus 11
1
The LORD said to Moshe, "Yet one plague more will I bring on Par`oh, and on Mitzrayim; afterwards he will let you go. When he lets you go, he will surely thrust you out altogether.
2
Speak now in the ears of the people, and let them ask every man of his neighbor, and every woman of her neighbor, jewels of silver, and jewels of gold."
3
The LORD gave the people favor in the sight of the Mitzrim. Moreover the man Moshe was very great in the land of Mitzrayim, in the sight of Par`oh's servants, and in the sight of the people.
4
Moshe said, "This is what the LORD says: 'About midnight I will go out into the midst of Mitzrayim,
5
and all the firstborn in the land of Mitzrayim shall die, from the firstborn of Par`oh who sits on his throne, even to the firstborn of the maid-servant who is behind the mill; and all the firstborn of cattle.
6
There shall be a great cry throughout all the land of Mitzrayim, such as there has not been, nor shall be any more.
7
But against any of the children of Yisra'el a dog won't even bark or move its tongue, against man or animal; that you may know that the LORD makes a distinction between the Mitzrim and Yisra'el.
8
All these your servants shall come down to me, and bow down themselves to me, saying, 'Get out, and all the people who follow you; and after that I will go out.'" He went out from Par`oh in hot anger.
9
The LORD said to Moshe, "Par`oh won't listen to you, that my wonders may be multiplied in the land of Mitzrayim."
10
Moshe and Aharon did all these wonders before Par`oh, and the LORD hardened Par`oh's heart, and he didn't let the children of Yisra'el go out of his land.

Exodus 12
1
The LORD spoke to Moshe and Aharon in the land of Mitzrayim, saying,
2
"This month shall be to you the beginning of months. It shall be the first month of the year to you.
3
Speak to all the congregation of Yisra'el, saying, 'On the tenth day of this month, they shall take to them every man a lamb, according to their fathers' houses, a lamb for a household;
4
and if the household be too little for a lamb, then he and his neighbor next to his house shall take one according to the number of the souls; according to what everyone can eat you shall make your count for the lamb.
5
Your lamb shall be without blemish, a male a year old. You shall take it from the sheep, or from the goats:
6
and you shall keep it until the fourteenth day of the same month; and the whole assembly of the congregation of Yisra'el shall kill it at evening.
7
They shall take some of the blood, and put it on the two side-posts and on the lintel, on the houses in which they shall eat it.
8
They shall eat the flesh in that night, roasted with fire, and matzah. They shall eat it with bitter herbs.
9
Don't eat it raw, nor boiled at all with water, but roasted with fire; with its head, its legs and its inner parts.
10
You shall let nothing of it remain until the morning; but that which remains of it until the morning you shall burn with fire.
11
This is how you shall eat it: with your loins girded, your shoes on your feet, and your staff in your hand; and you shall eat it in haste: it is the LORD's Pesach.
12
For I will go through the land of Mitzrayim in that night, and will strike all the firstborn in the land of Mitzrayim, both man and animal. Against all the gods of Mitzrayim I will execute judgments: I am the LORD.
13
The blood shall be to you for a token on the houses where you are: and when I see the blood, I will pass over you, and there shall no plague be on you to destroy you, when I strike the land of Mitzrayim.
14
This day shall be to you for a memorial, and you shall keep it a feast to the LORD: throughout your generations you shall keep it a feast by an ordinance forever.
15
Seven days shall you eat matzah; even the first day you shall put away yeast out of your houses, for whoever eats leavened bread from the first day until the seventh day, that soul shall be cut off from Yisra'el.
16
In the first day there shall be to you a holy convocation, and in the seventh day a holy convocation; no manner of work shall be done in them, except that which every man must eat, that only may be done by you.
17
You shall observe the feast of matzah; for in this same day have I brought your hosts out of the land of Mitzrayim: therefore shall you observe this day throughout your generations by an ordinance forever.
18
In the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month at evening, you shall eat matzah, until the twenty first day of the month at evening.
19
Seven days shall there be no yeast found in your houses, for whoever eats that which is leavened, that soul shall be cut off from the congregation of Yisra'el, whether he be a sojourner, or one who is born in the land.
20
You shall eat nothing leavened. In all your habitations you shall eat matzah.'"
21
Then Moshe called for all the Zakenim of Yisra'el, and said to them, "Draw out, and take lambs according to your families, and kill the Pesach.
22
You shall take a bunch of hyssop, and dip it in the blood that is in the basin, and strike the lintel and the two side-posts with the blood that is in the basin; and none of you shall go out of the door of his house until the morning.
23
For the LORD will pass through to strike the Mitzrim; and when he sees the blood on the lintel, and on the two side-posts, the LORD will pass over the door, and will not allow the destroyer to come in to your houses to strike you.
24
You shall observe this thing for an ordinance to you and to your sons forever.
25
It shall happen when you have come to the land which the LORD will give you, according as he has promised, that you shall keep this service.
26
It will happen, when your children ask you, 'What do you mean by this service?'
27
that you shall say, 'It is the sacrifice of the LORD's Pesach, who passed over the houses of the children of Yisra'el in Mitzrayim, when he struck the Mitzrim, and spared our houses.'" The people bowed their heads and worshiped.
28
The children of Yisra'el went and did so; as the LORD had commanded Moshe and Aharon, so they did.
29
It happened at midnight, that the LORD struck all the firstborn in the land of Mitzrayim, from the firstborn of Par`oh who sat on his throne to the firstborn of the captive who was in the dungeon; and all the firstborn of cattle.
30
Par`oh rose up in the night, he, and all his servants, and all the Mitzrim; and there was a great cry in Mitzrayim, for there was not a house where there was not one dead.
31
He called for Moshe and Aharon by night, and said, "Rise up, get out from among my people, both you and the children of Yisra'el; and go, serve the LORD, as you have said!
32
Take both your flocks and your herds, as you have said, and be gone; and bless me also!"
33
The Mitzrim were urgent with the people, to send them out of the land in haste, for they said, "We are all dead men."
34
The people took their dough before it was leavened, their kneading-troughs being bound up in their clothes on their shoulders.
35
The children of Yisra'el did according to the word of Moshe; and they asked of the Mitzrim jewels of silver, and jewels of gold, and clothing.
36
The LORD gave the people favor in the sight of the Mitzrim, so that they let them have what they asked. They despoiled the Mitzrim.
37
The children of Yisra'el journeyed from Ra`meses to Sukkot, about six hundred thousand on foot who were men, besides children.
38
A mixed multitude went up also with them, with flocks, herds, and even very much cattle.
39
They baked unleavened cakes of the dough which they brought forth out of Mitzrayim; for it wasn't leavened, because they were thrust out of Mitzrayim, and couldn't wait, neither had they prepared for themselves any food.
40
Now the time that the children of Yisra'el lived in Mitzrayim was four hundred thirty years.
41
It happened at the end of four hundred thirty years, even the same day it happened, that all the hosts of the LORD went out from the land of Mitzrayim.
42
It is a night to be much observed to the LORD for bringing them out from the land of Mitzrayim. This is that night of the LORD, to be much observed of all the children of Yisra'el throughout their generations.
43
The LORD said to Moshe and Aharon, "This is the ordinance of the Pesach. There shall no foreigner eat of it,
44
but every man's servant who is bought for money, when you have circumcised him, then shall he eat of it.
45
A sojourner and a hired servant shall not eat of it.
46
In one house shall it be eaten; you shall not carry forth anything of the flesh abroad out of the house; neither shall you break a bone of it.
47
All the congregation of Yisra'el shall keep it.
48
When a stranger shall sojourn with you, and will keep the Pesach to the LORD, let all his males be circumcised, and then let him come near and keep it; and he shall be as one who is born in the land: but no uncircumcised person shall eat of it.
49
One law shall be to him who is born at home, and to the stranger who sojourns among you."
50
Thus did all the children of Yisra'el. As the LORD commanded Moshe and Aharon, so they did.
51
It happened the same day, that the LORD brought the children of Yisra'el out of the land of Mitzrayim by their hosts.

Exodus 13:1-16
1
The LORD spoke to Moshe, saying,
2
"Sanctify to me all of the firstborn, whatever opens the womb among the children of Yisra'el, both of man and of animal. It is mine."
3
Moshe said to the people, "Remember this day, in which you came out from Mitzrayim, out of the house of bondage; for by strength of hand the LORD brought you out from this place. No leavened bread shall be eaten.
4
This day you go forth in the month Aviv.
5
It shall be, when the LORD shall bring you into the land of the Kana`ani, and the Hittite, and the Amori, and the Hivvi, and the Yevusi, which he swore to your fathers to give you, a land flowing with milk and honey, that you shall keep this service in this month.
6
Seven days you shall eat matzah, and in the seventh day shall be a feast to the LORD.
7
Unleavened bread shall be eaten throughout the seven days; and no leavened bread shall be seen with you, neither shall there be yeast seen with you, in all your borders.
8
You shall tell your son in that day, saying, 'It is because of that which the LORD did for me when I came forth out of Mitzrayim.'
9
It shall be for a sign to you on your hand, and for a memorial between your eyes, that the law of the LORD may be in your mouth; for with a strong hand the LORD has brought you out of Mitzrayim.
10
You shall therefore keep this ordinance in its season from year to year.
11
"It shall be, when the LORD shall bring you into the land of the Kana`ani, as he swore to you and to your fathers, and shall give it you,
12
that you shall set apart to the LORD all that opens the womb, and every firstborn which you have that comes from an animal. The males shall be the LORD's.
13
Every firstborn of a donkey you shall redeem with a lamb; and if you will not redeem it, then you shall break its neck; and you shall redeem all the firstborn of man among your sons.
14
It shall be, when your son asks you in time to come, saying, 'What is this?' that you shall tell him, 'By strength of hand the LORD brought us out from Mitzrayim, from the house of bondage;
15
and it happened, when Par`oh would hardly let us go, that the LORD killed all the firstborn in the land of Mitzrayim, both the firstborn of man, and the firstborn of animal. Therefore I sacrifice to the LORD all that opens the womb, being males; but all the firstborn of my sons I redeem.'
16
It shall be for a sign on your hand, and for symbols between your eyes: for by strength of hand the LORD brought us forth out of Mitzrayim."
