Exodus 12:40-47 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

40. Now the habitation of the sons of Israel, while they remained in Egypt, was four hundred and thirty years.

41. Having been completed, on the same day all the army of the Lord departed from the land of Egypt.

42. This night is a worthy observance of the Lord, when he led them out of the land of Egypt. This all the sons of Israel must observe in their generations.

43. And the Lord said to Moses and to Aaron: "This is the religious observance of the Passover. No foreigner shall eat from it.

44. But every bought servant shall be circumcised, and so he may eat from it.

45. The newcomer and the hired hand shall not eat from it.

46. In one house it shall be eaten; you shall not carry its flesh outside, nor shall you break its bone.

47. The entire assembly of the sons of Israel shall do this.
